LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - Rounds of showers and storms continue to target much of the region today, bringing a local high water threat for some. This action comes as low pressure spins in from the southwest and moves right on top of us. These showers and storms will target central and eastern Kentucky through tonight, putting down quite a bit of rain. A general 1″-3″ of rain is likely to show up with the chance for some locally higher amounts.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - On this Memorial Day, we stop to honor and mourn those who have given the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the US Armed Forces. I also want to say a thank you to those who have served and are currently serving the United States of America. Today is the unofficial kickoff to summer but Mother Nature isn’t even close to being in a summertime mood around here. Temps remain below normal as we track rounds of showers and storms back into the region tonight and Tuesday.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - It’s a much cooler and calmer brand of weather across our region and this looks to hang tough into the Memorial Day Weekend. While the calm may turn a little stormy, I’m not seeing any severe threat as of now. Temps out there today reach 60-65 in most areas with temps in the south and west doing it a little bit better. Skies will feature some clouds and sun doing battle as a cool west to northwest wind blows.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - It’s a much calmer and cooler weather pattern taking shape across Kentucky. The calm is really good news as many areas are still trying to pick up the pieces from recent tornadoes and severe weather. This cool pattern continues to look pretty active, though, with a lot of rain still on the way. Cooler than normal temps are out there today with highs ranging from the middle 60s to middle 70s from north to south.
