Heavy rain and storms forecast for Friday, high winds on Saturday

Heavy rain and storms forecast for Friday, high winds on Saturday
John Bobel
March 30, 2023

Lexington will experience steady rain on Friday and STRONG WINDS on Saturday…  The biggest risk will be Saturday with wind gusts @ 53mph, likely leading to scattered tree/limb damage.

A WIND ADVISORY is in effect for Lexington from 8 pm Friday through 5 pm on Saturday.

Gusty winds could blow around unsecured objects. Tree limbs could be blown down, and a few power outages may result. A Wind Advisory means that wind gusts of over 40 mph are expected. Winds this strong can make driving difficult…especially for high-profile vehicles. Use extra caution.

FRIDAY NIGHT

  • Steady rain begins at daybreak and thundestorms through Saturday morning.  The chance of rain is nearly 100%.  Chance of isolated Thunderstorms.  Expecting 1” of total rain accumulation.
  • Winds from the Southwest at 24mph, gusting up to 37mph.
  • Low TEMPS in the mid 50’s

SATURDAY

  • Rain ends at daybreak. Skies will clear. High temperatures in the 60’s.
  • STRONG WINDS increase throughout the morning, peaking at mid-day.  Winds will be from the West at @32mph, gusting up to 53mph

For comparison purposes: Lexington experienced wind gusts in excess of 70mph during the wind storm on March 3rd.  This Saturday’s event will not be on that scale, but the additional blooming/leaves on trees will increase the likelihood of tree/limb damage, leading to scattered power outages.
