Good Tuesday, everyone. We have a much colder wind blowing across the Commonwealth today as our cold front continues to push to our east. This is bringing in a seasonal chill and some very nice weather for the next few days. But, the system moving our way by the weekend continues to be a pain in the keester.

Let’s begin with today and roll forward. Temps may not make it out of the 50s for many areas with a gusty wind making it feel colder. The day may start with a few showers hanging on across the east. Here’s regional radar to follow that action out of town…

Wednesday and Thursday continues to look very nice with seasonal temps and a mix of sun and clouds.

I’m still riding the Euro and Canadian models for the weekend forecast. Our system rolling toward us Friday may spit out a shower or two, but we effectively get a trough to split. That leaves a piece of energy behind into parts of Texas. That rolls to the northeast as a potent storm system Saturday and Sunday, bringing an increase in rain to Kentucky. The new run of the ICON has flipped to this solution…

The GFS is actually showing signs of going this way and should continue to correct over the next few days.

Temps should bounce back to normal early next week, but the mid-week system continues to look interesting. Arctic air will be diving into the west and plains states and should crank out another storm system. As that arctic air works our way, several models have been showing a taste of winter getting close to us, or for us, by Halloween.

Here’s the Canadian…

The temps off this run are pretty absurd for Halloween…

Even the GFS is showing something nearby…

The brand spanking new run of the European Weeklies from WeatherBell go all the way through the first few days of December and show an increasingly colder and active setup. Look at how much above normal our precipitation is…

That’s one interesting pipeline of precip coming out of the western Gulf of Mexico and likely means a super active southern storm track.

Snow chances also show up…

I will drop by for another update this evening. Until then, have a great day and take care.
