Good Wednesday, everyone. A powerhouse of a cold front is rolling toward the bluegrass state and will bring a huge change to our weather. A blast of fall air is on tap for late for the weekend into much of next week. Things may get a little bumpy ahead of the front as storms rumble through the region.

Winds will crank and temps will soar into the 80s today. We could see a stray shower or thunderstorm going up, but most of the action will hold off until later tonight and Thursday. This is when a squall line of thunderstorms works in from the northwest. The highest threat for severe weather is just to our west and north, but we need to keep a watch on that setup. Showers and storms will continue into Thursday with the potential for some heavy rain numbers.

A cooler wind will blow behind the front from west to east late Thursday. That sets the stage for a cooler Friday with a mix of sun and clouds.

We’ve touched on the chill down for the weekend and I have no changes in that. Highs will range from the upper 60s to low 70s with lows dropping into the 40s.

I’ve also touched on the chance for showers and I’m trying to time these threats a little better. The first one arrives on Saturday…

EuroThe next system may have a little more juice with it as it arrives early next week…

Overall, this is a fall pattern settling in and it’s one that’s a few weeks ahead of schedule.

Some winter talk is on the way with tomorrow’s post. Spread the word.

Enjoy your day and take care.
