SUMMARY: Central and Eastern Kentucky enjoyed the warmest day of 2025 so far, with sunshine and highs in the mid-80s on Tuesday, accompanied by some wildfire smoke from western Canada that enhanced sunrises and sunsets without affecting air quality. Wednesday will remain warm and mostly sunny with highs in the mid to upper 80s, but a frontal boundary approaching from the northwest may bring isolated showers late in the day. From Thursday through Saturday, the stalled front will cause repeated showers and thunderstorms, some heavy, raising flood concerns. Rain chances persist into the weekend with cooler highs near 80°F and intermittent dry spells.

SUMMARY: Periodical cicadas emerge every 17 years and are smaller than the larger annual cicadas, which appear every summer. The current cicadas invading neighborhoods are periodical ones, slightly delayed due to cooler temperatures but expected to increase as it gets warmer. Male cicadas produce a mating call to attract females, who lay eggs on tree limbs. The nymphs fall to the ground and feed on tree roots until they emerge again 17 years later. They likely use changes in tree root fluid to time their emergence. Interestingly, cicadas are safe to eat and provide a good protein source.
