The 141st running of the Kentucky Derby looks quite nice this year! Sunshine and temperatures in the low 70’s looks like a good bet for both Friday and Saturday.

After some rain showers possible during the Derby Parade today, High pressure will move into the region and provide a gorgeous weekend for the remainder of the Derby events. There is only a 10% chance for a scattered shower tomorrow, but with mostly sunny skies and temperatures in the low 70’s, this years weather will be flirting with perfection!
