Good Friday everyone. We are ending the work week just like we started it… soggy. The soggy conditions will be with us as we kick off the weekend and is likely a sign of things to come over the next several days. All is not lost with our weekend weather as some dry hours are likely.
Let’s break it all down for you…
– A swath of rain and some embedded thundershowers will continue to push eastward across the state on this first day of fall. Locally heavy downpours are a good bet for many.
– We will slowly shut off the steady rains from west to east this afternoon into the evening. High school football action could still see a shower or some drizzle. Highs today will stay in the 60s for many.
– The big closed upper level low will continue to work into the Ohio Valley this weekend. The low appears to want to initially set up across the western part of the region. That is where the best threat for widespread rains will be into Saturday and Saturday night. Central and eastern Kentucky will see more of a scattered shower threat during this time.
– This upper low will then slowly move eastward on Sunday. Rains will increase from west to east as one of those “spokes” I talked about in the last post swings in. Thunder?
– This axis of rain will continue to slowly push across the central and east Monday into early Tuesday as the west sees more scattered stuff.
– Temps during this time will generally run in the 60s for highs. Any day that has mainly rainy skies outside your house can stay in the upper 50s. Any day that features some sun can make a run at 70. Sometimes it really is that simple! 
– The low will then begin to FINALLY open up and move away by Wednesday and Thursday of next week. Temps will begin to warm closer to normal by this time.
On a blog note. I will have an announcement later today or Saturday about an exciting new media partnership for the blog. Fun times ahead.
In the meantime… let’s track some weather…
Today’s Rainfall
Current Temps
Have a great Friday and take care.
Thanks Chris can’t wait for the new things!!!! You make weather exciting.
im here. bye see u in the afterlife if i dont wake up tomm.llol
i bet the weather channel going be join blog.
Not the media partnership, but I am in charge of USA Today delivery throughout central KY, and this blog is the first website I visit when I wake up at 2:15 AM. The radar showed rain around pickup time Wed in Lexington, one of my carriers asked if it was going to rain and I said any minute. Within seconds it was raining. The feedback downstate is vital too as conditions in London are much different than in Lexington, especially in the winter. Thank you Chris for this forum, it makes my job easier.
figure i hit siter up again, wre isd all everyon e at. really friday damp cloudy day im sure u all are not running a marathon etc.
u need to still post in summer/fall so chris still knows u are alive one, and 2 care.
were u at VINNY them STEELERS are gettin to old man on defense, cant believe the orginazation has set on their hands. this team heading for a 3 or 4 year bottom run.
RAVENDS losing to TITANS proves the STEELERS in bad shape.
the LIONS the team this year even if MATTHEW STAFFORD gets hurt, there defense is wicked up front and are for real.
i think they play GREEN BAY in NFC TITLE game ad PACKERS will beat them and win it all again
Just wondering how the rain totals for the month are stacking up.
