It’s been a really dry start to the year across central and eastern Kentucky… 9th driest for Lexington!
Historically speaking, we’re off to some of the driest starts to the year on record. We NEED rain!
The good news is that an extended stretch of unsettled weather is finally setting up across the region, bringing multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms through late week and into the holiday weekend. While not everyone will see rain at all times, many areas could pick up a beneficial 1 to 3 inches over the next seven days.
That rainfall would go a long way toward easing ongoing drought conditions and helping improve soil moisture heading into summer.
