2/28 Kentucky Weather: 29° Above Normal

Good morning. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. Step outside right now and tell me it's still February. I dare you. We're sitting at 47 degrees under clear skies. and honestly, this is just the warmup act. In the next 24 hours. Here's what's happening. High pressure is sliding east while a moisture-starved cold front sags south from the Great Lakes. That southwest flow ahead of the front? It's pumping in air that belongs in April, not late February. Eastern Kentucky and South Central Kentucky hit 70 degrees today. Seventy. That's 29 degrees above normal. Central and North Central Kentucky reach the mid-60s. All under wall-to-wall sunshine. If you've been putting off yard work or a long walk, today's your day. Tonight, that front slips through. A slight chance of rain showers after midnight up north. Lows drop to around 40 degrees in the northern counties, mid-40s south. Sunday flips the script. Cooler air funnels in behind the front. Partly sunny skies with highs only in the upper 40s to mid-50s. Dig that jacket back out. Here's where it gets interesting. Sunday night into Monday morning, moisture rides up and over that cooler air. Northern Kentucky could see a wintry mix. Light snow, maybe some sleet. Mainly along and north of I-64. Accumulations look minimal, but Monday morning's commute could be slick. The week ahead turns wet. Rain chances return Tuesday and persist through Friday. Temperatures rebound into the 60s and 70s by midweek. We could even see thunderstorms Wednesday and Thursday. Today's the pick of the week. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
