Good Saturday, everyone. We continue tracking rounds of gusty showers working from east to west across the region. This means we have another day of nasty weather. If you’re sick of the ugly (I’m not talking about the mug at the top of the page), much better conditions are on the way.

Rain today comes in from east to west with the most widespread stuff in the central and east. Locally heavy rains will be a good bet and that could lead to some local high water issues across southeastern Kentucky. Winds will be very gusty with highs back in the low and middle 50s.

The showers will gradually taper off this evening as out southeastern storm slowly pulls away. This means a nice Sunday is in the making with only a small shower chance with highs in the upper 60s and low 70s.

Upper 60s to low 70s for highs look like a good bet into the first half of next week with dry weather. That should make for some awesome weather to get out and enjoy fall at its finest.

A cold front arrives by the end of the week and could allow for another slow-moving low pressure to develop along it…

The GFS Ensembles show that same trough moving through here next weekend

GFS 3

It then follows that trough up with a deeper system a few days later…

GFS 4

We find the European Ensembles in good agreement…

Euro 2

All of this means our active pattern isn’t going to be gone for very long, and is likely to bring some very cold shots of air to the party. Could this turn into the 5th straight “interesting” October? Hmmm

While you ponder that question, don’t forget to track some chilly rains…

 

 

Have a great day and take care.
