Today is the 21st anniversary of the Masterson Station tornado in Lexington. It's also Lexington's last tornado. It was rated an F3 on the old Fujita scale with winds of 170 mph. It was a short lived and fairly small tornado. #kywx

We're coming up on the final days of May which will be finishing on a pretty cool note. Tomorrow, with some extra sun, we may push 80 in places as we flirt with normal. More cool air arrives for Friday and the weekend before summer warmth arrives for the first week of June. #kywx

The final rain maker in this sequence arrives later tonight. Locally heavy rain is a possibility with most of us picking up over an inch of rain and some closer to 2 inches. We'll see a wave early Friday with a second batch arriving in the afternoon. Drier weather is coming #kywx

It's been another May day with torrential rain. Today's total of 1.71 inches gives us 3 days this month with over 1.2 inches. This is only the 4th time this has happened. It also gives us the 11th wettest May, the 2nd wettest April/May and the 4 wettest spring. #kywx

Today began as one of the coldest June 2nd, in the 40s, and finished in the upper 70s. Starting Tuesday we'll enjoy more summerlike highs in the mid and upper 80s, and enough humidity to notice it. We haven't been more than 3 degrees above normal since May 15. #kywx

Summer weather finally arrived Tuesday. It was our 1st 85 degree high for the year, which is the 16th latest and about 3 weeks late. Tomorrow is looking even hotter. However, as the rain chances increase late this week, the highs decrease toward the 70s this weekend. #kywx

Our first burst of summer heat is on the way out as we head toward the latter part of the week. As the rain chances rise Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the highs will be falling back to the 70s this weekend. There will be strong storm chances along with some heavy rain. #kywx

We're looking at another batch of storms coming through in the early part of the night. The storms may push severe limits again. Through the weekend, scattered storms, which may be strong, along with heavy rain are possible. It's not a washout of a weekend, but have plan B. #kywx

We have a few strong storms in central and southern Kentucky. The strongest are in Madison and Pulaski counties. The storms are producing a lot of lightning, heavy rain and gusty winds. The Slight Risk for severe storms is south and east of Lexington where it's much warmer. #kywx

Part of Murphy's Law of Weather is you get great weather while you're working middle of the week, and less than ideal weather on the weekend. It'll be coolish Tuesday in the 70s before it gets hotter in the 80s midweek. After tonight's rain, next rain chances are Saturday. #kywx

Our weekends have been remarkably cool since April. Of the last 10 weekends, we've averaged 3 degrees below normal. We haven't had both weekend days above normal since April 19th, 20th. Our last above normal weekend day was May11th. Also 40% of the weekends had some rain. #kywx

We're entering a terrific stretch of weather, mainly because it's the middle of the week and that's just how the last several weeks have worked. We'll enjoy a mostly sunny sky with just some Canadian smoke for color. Highs will warm to at and above normal to end the week. #kywx
