Good Monday, everyone. As hard as it is to believe, we have are in the final week of October. The fall colors are showing off across the bluegrass state, but gusty winds are going to do a number on them. These gusty winds will be ahead of several cold fronts tracking toward Kentucky.

A weak front is sliding by to our north, introducing slightly chillier air. Temps by Tuesday morning should drop into the 30s across central and eastern Kentucky…

Frost is a good possibility in these areas.

Winds will be very gusty through the week as another cold front moves in on Thursday. That will produce gusty showers across the area…

Patchy frost will be possible again by Friday morning. Another system will then arrive over the weekend, and bring some scattered showers. The GFS:

Temps ahead of it may hit 70 degrees, before crashing down into the 50s for Sunday. Lows by Halloween morning may be close to a freeze…

As of now, Halloween looks dry and windy with highs in the 60s.

If you’ve been reading this thing lately (and why wouldn’t you? :)), you know I’ve been talking about the potential for winter getting off to a fast start.

The CFS is going right toward a winter look as we get into November. Watch how the trough starts to deepen across the eastern part of the country…

That’s a pretty good look for winter weather lovers, even for the middle of November.

Make it a great day and take care.
