Good evening, Kentucky. We're wrapping up the day for you with the most important stories you need to know and your weather outlook.
Your Weather Planner
Our weather pattern is changing, as you may have noticed by the showers rolling through the region on Friday. This round of rain will wind down heading into the evening, leaving us partly cloudy and mild. However, another round of scattered showers looks to move in late overnight and into Saturday morning.
Tomorrow's Forecast
Similar to how Friday unfolded, morning and midday showers on Saturday will give way to drier conditions later in the day for most. It will not be a washout. Thanks to a front hanging out in the region, it won’t be as warm as it’s been lately. Rain chances will ramp back up Saturday night and into Sunday.
