LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - It’s another much warmer than normal day with dry skies across Kentucky. The dry weather has been the theme of the past few months, but a much-needed pattern change is about to take place with beneficial rains likely in the next week and change.

Scattered showers and storms fire up in the west on Friday with the chance slowly increasing across the rest of the state over the weekend.

The setup after this will likely feature a big upper-level system dropping in from the west and northwest, setting up shop very close to us for much of next week.

Much-needed rains will show up next week with many of us picking up more rain in a week than we have in the past few months combined.

Temps will also come down into the 70s for highs by the middle and end of the week.
