Good Thursday to one and all. Our overall weather pattern continues to skew colder than normal and that trend carries us through next week. We may even be looking at some frost by Sunday as the next blast of chill rolls our way.
The chill that’s out there today is being accompanied by gusty showers working around a slow moving area of low pressure. These showers will slowly taper off this afternoon and evening from west to east. Some breaks in the clouds may even show up across the central and west. Highs today will be back in the mid and upper 50s for many areas…
Current Temperatures
Friday’s forecast looks great with a southwesterly wind kicking up ahead of another cold front. Temps may approach 70 in some areas.
That front swings in early Saturday and it may bring a few showers on a cold northwesterly wind…
Highs will only make the 50s both Saturday and Sunday. Widespread frost is a real threat Sunday morning and then again to start the day Monday. If the GFS is right, a killing frost is possible…
Next week is likely to start with a system diving in from the northwest. That should bring some chilly showers our way at some point late Monday or Tuesday. What happens after this remains a bit murky. This system is likely to deepen and close off just to our east. That could spawn a healthy storm across the east coast. The exact placement of this storm will be the determining factor on how much impact it has on our weather.
Regardless… Thermometers should still run chilly with the numbers well below normal. Check out the forecast departure a week from now…
Looks like a normal October pattern will be settling in. Love seeing negative temperature anomalies, especially this time of year.
NOAA says normal temps and below average precip for Louisville/Ohio valley for the upcoming winter.
I have below normal temps and average precip for my area. I think things are looking up again for a memorable winter.
NOAA puts the dreaded equal chances map for most of the Ohio valley for the up coming winter, toss a coin I guess?

I’ll be posting my findings on the discrepancies between the NWS official reporting sites for 2014’s 90 degree days versus the nearby Mesonet reporting sites. I thought the results were quite significant. You can find it on my blog probably tomorrow morning.

That looks like a map of every winter, ever. Snow in the NE and along the Apps? You don’t say! Mix along the coast? Fascinating! Cold in the Upper Midwest and stormy in Florida? How BIZARRO! “Snowy Periods” in the Four Corners? I will believe it when I see it, Mr. Accu.
