Good Saturday, friends. A strong cold front is crossing the bluegrass state today and is bringing another round of showers and thunderstorms. There is some good news coming in behind it as much better air moves in for Sunday. This looks to be just a little preview of what’s on the way for late next week into next weekend.

Today is not going to be a total washout, but scattered showers and storms will be on the move. These storms will contain locally heavy rains and a lot of lightning.

 

 

Sunday’s weather looks much, much better with lower humidity levels and highs in the upper 70s for many. There is still the smallest chance for a lingering shower in the southeast.

The big changes come next week when an even stronger cold front dives in from the northwest. This front is likely to have waves of heavy rain producing showers and storms ahead of it from late Tuesday through Thursday. The main story is what comes behind it… a blast of fall air.

If the models are to be believed… highs on a few days may not get out of the 60s…

Lows next weekend should be able to drop well into the 40s across our region.

The GFS Ensembles suggest the cool weather will stick around for a while. Check out the 5 day average temperature anomaly forecast…
