After Kentucky Derby 142, I think we'll look back and remember some pleasant weather conditions.
1) Pleasant temperatures all week - coolest midweek.
2) Spotty light rain chances through Wednesday.
3) Warm sunshine for Derby!
Let's just start off with your Steamboat Race, Pegasus Parade, Oaks, and Derby forecasts! A cold front will bring scattered light to moderate rain showers on Wednesday. Behind that front, it will be cooler and breezier for Thursday. High pressure will build into the region Friday and Saturday bringing lots of sunshine and warmer temperatures!
Steamboat Race and Pegasus:
Oaks and Derby:
Phenomenal weather for Derby weekend!
Rain totals will mostly be less than one inch today through Wednesday. So heavy rain and strong thunderstorms are not expected this week.
Below is a map of Tuesday's rain chances. Just a few light rain showers.
Wednesday will be the wettest with scattered light to moderate rain with the cold front.
