Ida Throwing Models For Loop
Good Friday everyone and welcome to an Indian Summer weekend!!! 
We have some awesome weather ahead of us for the next several days and the timing on it is great. It has been a while since we have had a fully dry weekend... but one is in store and we are gonna throw in some mild temps as a bonus. And it's all for the low price of 19.99 so call now... operators are standing by. I kinda feel like one of those pitch men on tv.
Now before I get totally carried away and try to sell you a one of a kind onion slicer... let's get into the weather part of the show.
The forecast breakdown looks like this...
- Temps today will start cold and end mild with readings heading toward the mid 50s under a mostly sunny sky.
- Temps this weekend warm well into the 60s under partly sunny skies. I have scaled back temps just a bit from previous forecasts... but who is gonna complain?
- Indian Summer rolls on into Monday with highs still in the 60s as clouds begin to increase.
- A cold front will be moving in Tuesday and will knock temps way down. Rains will move in as well and it is at this point where the model runs lose their way and Ida is to blame. Ida became a hurricane briefly before coming ashore in South America early Thursday. This storm will head toward the Gulf of Mexico and what happens after that is throwing the models for one serious loop. Here is where the National Hurricane Center thinks Ida will be over the next few days...

Something else to watch out for is a system that may try to crank up ahead of Ida in the Gulf this weekend. That , along with Ida, will mean some wild fluctuations in computer runs over the next few days. Don't believe any one model run for a bit or until I tell you to. Hahaha
I believe we will get a lot of moisture from the gulf to feed into our front for Tuesday. Can we get this trough to pick up the lead system or even Ida and bring it northward toward this area? That is possible and is something to watch for. Moral of the story... stay tuned.
Since it is a nice weather Friday... I leave you with this song that sums up how we all feel about work on a day like this...

I will try to update things later today so check back. Have a great day and happy drum banging! Take care.
Just to get everyones blood flowing, winter precip potentials in a couple of weeks that CB has eluded to looks like something in the neighborhood of 1 to as much as 4" could be possible across most of north/south/central and eastern Ky.

Just want to clarify: It would be way to early to talk amounts and it is November. The 1-4 is only what one model spit out at one run. But there is that potential something could happen. I am not implying that CB has said anything about accums. Just wanted to make sure noone misunderstood.

I don't see any snow chances in the next 14 days not to say that can't change.

Thanks for the gift of good weather, Lord! And thanks to you Chris for being the messenger! Planning on getting out and enjoying it, for sure!
If it weren't so daggone early, I would go ahead and put up my outside Christmas decorations....but, I am one of those people who tend to get irritated when stores try to rush the seasons, and that would make me no bettern than them...so, evenif it's cold, I will be putting them up Thanksgiving weekend. (After we have destroyed the turkey!
I am still sure that I can find something to do outside over the weekend, though....
Thanks, Chris. Looking forward to the next post! Everybody have a GREAT Friday!!

Chris, you forgot to mention the $14.95 shipping, handling & processing fee...and bragging about how we'll really like your...ummm..'flakes'..(let's go w/ that, this being a Family blog...lol)
I still am leaning towards our first snowfall of the season being around the Nov. 22-24 timeframe..give or take a day either way. Some models are suggesting the bottom falls out around the 18-19th, while others are saying temps in the 50's. Who's to say @ this point?!
Anyone...?- I have relatives coming from OK next week-what's the Wx looking like beyond Tuesday's poss. rain??! This could very well be their last trip to KY., as they are up in age and starting to get the obvious health prob's (uncle losing his eyesight, aunt having back/Osteoporosis/oxygen, etc), so I am reallllyyy hoping the whole week won't be a complete flop once they arrive sometime Wednesday, ya know??!:/
Thanks for any info you guys might have for me!
