Record-Challenging Early March Warmth with Stray Showers
"An unseasonably warm airmass will dominate Kentucky on Friday, with temperatures soaring into the 70s and low 80s, roughly 20 degrees above normal. While the day will be characterized by spring-like warmth and breezy conditions, a weak passing trough will trigger scattered light rain showers, primarily during the morning in the north and east, and again late evening in the west."
