Here’s WAVE News chief meteorologist Kevin Harned with your forecast

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) – For most of us, the overnight hours will be quiet, warm, and breezy with lows in the 60s. For those north of Louisville in Southern Indiana, we’ll watch for storm potential after midnight. Some of those storms could be strong.

Storm chances continue mainly north of Louisville until mid-afternoon Saturday, when things will quiet down. Those storms could be strong to severe with damaging winds and hail. Clouds and rain-cooled air will keep highs in the 70s during the afternoon.

Storm chances will drop off Saturday night but clouds will stick around. Lows will be in the 50s and 60s by Easter Sunday morning.

Easter looks mainly dry and very warm with highs in the 80s during the afternoon. There is an outside chance of a pop-up thunderstorm, but the vast majority of our area will stay dry.

Higher storm chances will wait until very late Sunday night.

Storms arriving Monday morning will be weakening on approach, so widespread severe weather is not expected. Once those storms are gone Monday afternoon, it’s all about a quieter and warmer weather pattern that takes us through the midweek timeframe.

Storm chances will reload by late next week.
