Forecast for March 21-25, 2026

The forecast for Kentucky predicts an overall mild to cool pattern as a result of mid-level troughing to the north. As the trough over eastern Canada and the Great Lakes region affects the region, temperatures in the state will be near- to slightly below-normal, particularly in the eastern and northern portions. The central and western parts of Kentucky may see slightly warmer temperatures, but they are expected to stay within a few degrees of normal.

Precipitation is expected to be below normal across much of Kentucky, with fewer chances of significant rain. The dry conditions will be more pronounced in the state's western and central regions, where expansive ridging from the southwest is expected to reduce moisture. The eastern part of Kentucky, on the other hand, may see slightly more precipitation due to the proximity of the mid-level trough in the eastern United States.

Overall, Kentucky's weather will likely be characterized by mostly dry conditions with average to slightly cooler temperatures.
