Weekly weather planner: One more dreary day and then sunshine returns

1 week ago | wlky.com | Eric Zernich

METEOROLOGIST MATT MILOSEVIC. ALL RIGHT. WHILE OVERALL NOT AN IMPACT WEATHER DAY BECAUSE THE SHOWERS ARE GOING TO BE LIGHT ACROSS THE AREA, THERE’S NO SEVERE WEATHER THREAT. IT’S NOT GOING TO BE THE PERSISTENT RAIN OF YESTERDAY. THERE’S STILL GOING TO BE A FEW SHOWER CHANCES. SO I WANT TO BRING YOUR ATTENTION TO ONCE AGAIN NEEDING THE RAIN GEAR. IF YOU CAN USE YOUR RAIN JACKET, THAT WILL DOUBLE TO KEEP YOU A LITTLE WARMER TODAY TOO, BECAUSE WE’RE STILL GOING TO BE ON THE COOL SIDE WITH A CLOUDY SKIES.

NOW YOUR WLKY WEATHER WITH METEOROLOGIST ERIC ZUANICH. THE APRIL SHOWERS STUCK AROUND FOR THE FIRST PART OF MAY HERE, MAKING FOR A WET DERBY WEEKEND ACROSS MUCH OF LOUISVILLE. AND IT LOOKS LIKE THOSE RAIN SHOWERS WILL STICK WITH US, AT LEAST FOR ONE MORE DAY, AS WE’LL BE STAYING DAMP AND COOL HEADING INTO OUR MONDAY. ALTHOUGH I DO THINK WE’LL GET A LITTLE BIT OF SOME DRIER PERIODS MIXING IN TOMORROW AFTERNOON.

IT WASN’T THE BEST OF DAYS TO BE OVER THERE FOR THE DERBY, BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE AS THE RAIN THAT WE DID GET WAS ON THE LIGHTER SIDE. THERE WAS NO STORMS. WE EVEN HAD SOME PERIODS OF SOME DRY TIME OUT THERE AT THE TRACKS. IT DID JUST MAKE FOR A LITTLE BIT OF A MUDDY TRACK FOR THE HORSES, AS THEY MADE THE RUN FOR THE ROSES JUST BEFORE 7:00 THIS EVENING.
