As we head right in to Derby Week, we are carefully watching the storm chances. While many of us are loving the unseasonably warm weather, the storms could put a real kink in our plans. First off, we have the BED RACES tonight, and unfortunately, we also have a chance of rain and storms during that time. If you don't want to risk it, you can catch the Bed Races live here on WAVE 3 at 7PM.
Stock Yards Bank Great Bed Races
When: 7 p.m. today. Pre-race parade at 6 p.m. “Dormitory” display of beds from 11:30 a.m. to about 5:15 p.m.
Where: Bed races inside KFC Yum! Center, on Main Street between Second and Third streets. “Dormitory” outside on Norton Healthcare Plaza.

Oaks Day: Partly sunny and warm. 30% chance of a shower or storm. High 86.

You know how it goes... it either rains on Oaks Day or Derby Day, so plan to deal with a storm or two no matter which day you plan to be out there. You'll need to dress for temperatures ranging in the mid 70s to mid 80s during the races.
HAPPY DERBY!!!
