Unseasonably Warm and Windy with Passing Showers
"A powerful warm-sector airmass will surge across Kentucky on Thursday, bringing April-like warmth and gusty winds to the Commonwealth. Temperatures will climb into the 60s and lower 70s as a potent low-level jet transports deep Gulf moisture northward. Waves of rain showers will traverse the state throughout the day, though no severe weather or wintry precipitation is expected."
