  1. 5/5Good weather broadcast!

    We’ve watched the WKYT weather team several times a day since moving back to Lexington 9 years ago. I took meteorology as an elective in my engineering curriculum and have been very interested since. I experienced the April ‘74 tornado outbreak while at Ft Knox raising my awareness for severe weather. Chris and Jim are a delight being local, competent, and confident. Ally is a lot better than Megan. I thought poor Megan was about to cry. If I could tell Ally one thing to improve it would be the definition of a period at the end of a sentence. Her monotone run-on sentences are very noticeable. Keep it up Weather Team.

  2. 5/5Accurate

    It is so good to see the accurate weather forecast that y’all put on every day. Not only is it on tv I have the app where it is available on my phone. Knowing the weather is very important for me. It is right on the money as far as accuracy. I can’t imagine life without it. THANK YOU Charles Turner. !-!

  3. 4/54 corners of our state

    I am a native of Fayette County’s that moved to Louisville 3 years ago Louisville channels cut off the Lexington weather map unnecessarily due to the hundreds of thousands of commuters that travel back & forth daily your Lexington station has better coverage of E And West weather & safety conditions THANK YOU M M Baughman Please inform your sister station to do the same

  4. 2/5New changes are awful

    I use this app multiple times daily and it has been perfect. But now if you want to watch a 30 second clip describing how the weather is going to change, you have to watch a 30 second ad first - and every ad is for Morehead for some reason. Then, once you get through that, the sound on the weather video doesn’t work even though it worked for the ad. They also made the app much uglier. Very disappointed with these changes.

  5. 1/5Junk

    Nothing to see unless it’s a live schedule viewing. I am fine with watching editions from earlier in the day but using iPhone17 nothing ever plays except for the ads that when done just go to a blank screen. Reminds me of the app on firestick. Something has changed and I can’t watch previous newscasts anymore only small little clips? Who wants to do that day in and out. Lex18 has been more transparent and user friendly on both platforms. Shame as I really enjoy the WKYT folk.
