Good Wednesday, everyone. We have some awesome air controlling the weather across the bluegrass state of Kentucky. This September feel comes courtesy of a big upper low spinning across the eastern part of the country. Summer fans should hang tough, we have a nice blast of toasty temps for the weekend.
Highs today range from the mid 70s in the far west to upper 60s in the east. We will need to watch for isolated showers developing…
As the upper low inches closer, we will see a slightly better chance for showers on Thursday…
Temps will again be well below normal around here.
The numbers will begin to climb on Friday and will really take off into the weekend. This will be courtesy of a ridge of high pressure across the southeast…
Someone could see 90 by Sunday or Monday.
That same flow will bring an increase in moisture for early next week, this will interact with a trough digging into the Midwest…
That action will spawn a rapid increase in showers and thunderstorms around here…
Temps will come down some during this time, but the humidity levels will be way up there.
A deeper trough will likely dig into the region later next week into the following weekend…
That’s a cooler and stormier look to the pattern.
Make it a great day and take care.
I don’t mind the cooler temps one bit.
Dagnabbit Hamlin, won’t you think of the poor pool owners, and their lack of using their divinely gifted water creations? What are they supposed to do, continue to watch their pets enjoy the water without them??!! Heartless, I tell yah.
Go back to ignoring rainfall dispersal maps and promoting the ‘it rains the same everywhere’ agenda! 😉
Thanks Chris, This pattern we currently have now is what they normally have in the Northeastern part of the country. I call these cold fronts, that have been moving through every few days ” back door fronts. ” These fronts keep the Northeast cool and dry through their summer. Our summer is usually dominated by an upper level high pressure system which brings on the intense heat and humidity with isolated showers and thunderstorms. This weekend, could be the start of summer weather for the Ohio River valley. We shall see. Have a great day everyone and enjoy the cool weather while we have it.
Thanks for your thoughts Schroeder.
Thanks Schroeder for clearing that up for us…
Lexington’s 3-day forecast highs: 70; 73; 79
Louisville’s 3-day forecast highs: 73; 76; 83
Fairbanks AK 3-day forecast highs: 76; 78; 82
Personally, I say enjoy the next 2-3 days after that my thinking is the SE ridge is going to flex its muscles and we’re going to go in to a typical hazy hot and humid summer time pattern.
Thank you, Schroeder. 😉
No problem anytime lol
Absolutely beautiful today. Wish it could stay like this all summer..
A definite October feel to the air in Lexington this late afternoon/evening—cloudy, breezy, and in the lower 60’s.
I love this weather.
