Good Thursday to one and all. We have a cold front crossing the state today and this front will spark showers, gusty winds and knock temps down some. The drop in temperatures isn’t the big story. The rebound temps for Halloween weekend into early November will steal the show.
Let’s get you caught up on the precious present before getting too far ahead of ourselves. Temps today will drop from west to east as the front moves in. Winds may gust to 35mph at times with scattered showers and a rumble of thunder…
Temps by Friday morning will drop it into the upper 30s to low 40s across central and eastern Kentucky…
After that, it’s game on toward a very windy and warm weekend. Highs on Saturday should range from 75-80 in many areas.
A weak cold front drops in on Sunday and can produce scattered showers and some thunder. The best chance is across the north. This may also lead to a healthy temperature gradient setting up across the region.
Halloween continues to look warmer and warmer as we get closer. Highs in the 70s with gusty winds. Many record highs for the day are from 1950 and are in the low 80s. To illustrate how the current weather has no impact on the weather for the winter, Thanksgiving weekend of 1950 gave us a blizzard with the coldest November temps ever recorded. That went on to be a harsh winter around here.
Warmer than normal weather, as expected, carries us into the first week of November. Once through this first week, a major pattern shift begins to take place. I will touch more on that with my next update. That may actually come later today, if I can find some free time. It’s about that time of year! 😉
Have a good day and take care.
I am ready to be done with the warmth. Bring on the snow already.
When you see the potential 80s showing up at the first of November, that’s a pretty big deal. We may not reach all time records next week but a few daily highs may be in jeopardy. Definitely a long growing season this year with a few weeks to go it appears.
Where’s fall??
We have been stuck in this warm and dry pattern for awhile. August, September, and October will all go down as one of the warmest on record! That will actually make six of the past twelve months (November and December of 2015, March, August, September, October of 2016) that have made the top ten warmest.
What an absolutely awesome stretch of weather we’ve had the last couple of months.. Odds are we’ll pay for it at some point, she always balances out:)
Yes, it has been awesome. But like you said we will paid for it
Feels like fall to me..Warm windy days with cool crisp nights and mornings..Would like to see this weather all winter long..LOL..Anyways looking at the -AO today..Still tanking..May break the 2009 record of -1.540..Impressive..
