METEOROLOGIST ERIC CZAPNIK. WE HAD A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS PUSH THROUGH THE AREA THIS EVENING AND THAT IS ALL THANKS TO A WEAK WARM FRONT THAT IS KIND OF LIFTING ACROSS THE AREA. SO A FEW MORE SHOWERS POSSIBLE TONIGHT, BUT THAT WARM FRONT IS ALSO GOING TO BRING IN MUCH WARMER AND BREEZY CONDITIONS FOR OUR FRIDAY, AS TEMPERATURES WILL MAKE IT WELL INTO THE UPPER 70S, AND SOME SPOTS COULD EVEN MAKE IT INTO THE LOW 80S TOMORROW AFTERNOON. SO YES, A NICE BIG SPRING WARM UP. THOSE WARM TEMPERATURES CONTINUE INTO THE WEEKEND, BUT SO DO SOME RAIN CHANCES AS WE'LL BE LOOKING AT SOME SHOWERS ON OUR SATURDAY, ESPECIALLY LATER ON IN THE DAY AND THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THEN AS WE GET INTO OUR SUNDAY, WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT THE CHANCE FOR SOME STRONG STORMS AS WE GET INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. THAT IS LEADING TO A SEVERE ALERT DAY, BECAUSE THERE IS THAT POSSIBILITY FOR THOSE STRONGER STORMS. SO LET'S BREAK DOWN THAT SEVERE ALERT THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FOR SUNDAY EVENING. THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CONTINUES TO PUT A LARGE AREA OF THE OHIO VALLEY UNDER THAT RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER, DUE TO A SETUP THAT IS GOING TO BE FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE WEATHER, AS IT'S GOING TO BE WARM AND HUMID. ALL THE INGREDIENTS YOU NEED TO KIND OF GET SOME OF THOSE STRONGER STORMS. AND AS A FRONT MOVES THROUGH, THAT'S GOING TO HELP TO SPARK OFF THOSE STORMS LATER ON INTO THE EVENING. SO LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT OUR FUTURECAST AND BREAK THIS DOWN. WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO HAVE AN INITIAL ROUND IN THE MORNING THAT COMES THROUGH LATE SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING. SO FIRST THING SUNDAY MORNING WILL BE WAKING UP TO SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS ACROSS THE AREA TO GET THE DAY STARTED. BUT YOU CAN SEE THAT BLANKETS MUCH OF THE REGION. THAT SYSTEM WILL THEN SLIDE OFF TO THE EAST BY MIDDAY. I THINK WE SHOULD BE IN BETWEEN THE TWO SYSTEMS, SO THERE WILL BE SOME DRY PERIODS ON OUR SUNDAY AND DEPENDING IF WE COULD BREAK OUT TO SOME SUNSHINE, THAT COULD HELP TO DESTABILIZE THE ATMOSPHERE A LITTLE BIT MORE. BUT IF THIS MODEL HANGS ON AND WE DO GET SOME LINGERING SHOWERS AND CLOUDS ON THE BACKSIDE OF THIS, AND WE'RE NOT ABLE TO GET THAT. DESTABILIZATION AGAIN BEFORE THE NEXT SYSTEM GETS IN, THIS IS THE ONE THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE WATCHING, AND THIS IS WHAT COULD BRING SOME OF THOSE STRONGER STORMS TO THE AREA. YOU CAN SEE YOU GOT THAT NICE LINE ALONG IT. SO INITIALLY OUT AHEAD OF IT YOU COULD HAVE SOME OF THOSE GUSTY WINDS TAPPING INTO THAT ENERGY. SO WE'LL BE WATCHING THIS CLOSELY AS WE GO THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. BUT JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU THAT HEADS UP THAT DEFINITELY SUNDAY EVENING AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. YOU'RE GOING TO WANT TO BE WEATHER AWARE BECAUSE THERE'S GOING TO BE THE POSSIBILITY FOR THE STRONGER STORMS PUSHING IN. MOST OF THAT'S MOVING OUT, BUT WE STILL COULD HAVE SOME LINGERING SHOWERS FIRST THING MONDAY MORNING. CURRENTLY, THOUGH, A FAIRLY PLEASANT NIGHT. MOST OF THOSE SHOWERS THAT WE HAD HAVE COME TO AN END, BUT IT IS MILD. WE STILL GOT 59 DEGREES WITH A FAIR BIT OF CLOUDS ACROSS THE AREA, AND YOU CAN SEE ON THE SATELLITE AND RADAR THOSE LIGHT SHOWERS THAT DID KIND OF ROLL THROUGH EARLIER THIS EVENING. MOST OF IT IS FALLING APART, BUT WE'RE HANGING ON TO THE CLOUDS. WE GOT A LITTLE BIT MORE ACTIVITY OUT TOWARDS SAINT LOUIS THAT IS DEVELOPING ALONG THAT WARM FRONT THAT I WAS MENTIONING. SO WE CAN'T RULE OUT 1 OR 2 MORE STRAY SHOWERS, MAINLY NORTH OF THE RIVER TONIGHT. BUT I THINK FOR MOST OF US THE RAIN IS DONE. BUT HERE'S A LOOK AT YOUR FORECAST FOR TONIGHT. WE'LL CALL IT MOSTLY CLOUDY, A FEW SHOWERS POSSIBLE, BUT WE'LL ONLY DIP DOWN TO ABOUT 56 FOR THAT OVERNIGHT LOW. YOUR 12 HOUR FORECAST FOR FRIDAY SHOWS STARTING OFF IN THE 50S. QUICKLY WE WARM INTO THE 70S BY LUNCHTIME AND SHOULD CLIMB INTO THE UPPER 70S WITH JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE CLOUDS THROUGH THE SECOND HALF OF THE DAY, BUT IT DOES LOOK TO BE A DRY END TO THE WORKWEEK. SETTING UP A FANTASTIC EVENING FOR OPENING NIGHT OF THE LOUISVILLE BATS AT SLUGGER FIELD. MOSTLY CLOUDY, BUT WARM AND BREEZY WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE 70S, SO IF YOU GOT TICKETS TO THE GAME, LOOKS TO BE A FANTASTIC EVENING FOR THAT SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AGAIN. BRING THOSE CHANCES FOR SOME SHOWERS, BUT TEMPERATURES STILL IN THE 70S, WITH SUNDAY BEING AN ALERT DAY, MAINLY FOR THOSE STORMS THAT ARRIVE LATE IN THE EVENING INTO FIRST THING MONDAY MORNING. WE COOL OFF AND DRY UP MONDAY AND TUESDAY BEFORE ANOTHER ROUND OF SOME SHOWERS AND STORMS. GET HERE BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK, BUT THE 70S THE NEXT FEW DAYS ARE GOING TO BE MUCH LIKELY. TH
