Good Thursday to one and all. We have two big weather makers rolling toward the bluegrass state over the next several days. These two will combine to bring some pretty nasty weather days to our part of the world. Rounds of rain, gusty winds and chilly temps highlight, or lowlight, the forecast.

Clouds are thickening up today as the first system tracks across the deep south. This has an inverted trough developing northward into the Tennessee Valley, giving our system a double barrel low look. The main low runs up the east coast as a full blown nor’easter.

Rain arrives in Kentucky from southwest to northeast this evening into tonight. Those rains may be heavy at times early Friday with gusty showers taking us through Friday night. Temps will generally be in the upper 40s to low 50s for highs across the state.

A few showers will hang tough into Saturday as winds stay gusty. Temps range from the upper 40s to middle 50s, with the chilliest air in the east…

The next system then drops in from the northwest on Sunday, bringing widespread rain back into Kentucky. As that system wraps up to our east, northwesterly winds will keep a few chilly showers going into Monday…

That moves away late Monday, leaving us with some pretty good weather leading up to Halloween. The weather for the big day itself is a little dicey, given the timing of an advancing trough. This could fire up another potent storm system or two into early November…

I will have another update later today. Until then, I leave you with your Kentucky radar to track the rain toward the state…

Enjoy your Thursday and take care.
