Low and High temperatures this Friday should easily eclipse daily warm records, but could also approach all-time February high temperature records (at least for Louisville, which is 78 degrees). It will also be a windy day, with gusts to 30-35 mph at times.
Thunderstorm development is expected by late Friday afternoon ahead of a strong cold front. Strong storms could develop by mid to late afternoon across southwest and southern Indiana. After sunset, a line of strong to severe thunderstorms will likely push across central Kentucky. Damaging winds are the main severe weather threat, though an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out.
