Good Saturday, everyone. It’s a rather bumpy day across the bluegrass state as a powerful cold front swings through here. High winds are going to be a big player, but a line of thunderstorms will try to steal part of the show. Once we get done with this, a small taste of winter blows in.

I know this is super short notice, but it’s something you guys may be interested in. We are having a WKYT Weather Watcher class this morning at 10 at the WKYT studios in Lexington. We have had some last minute space become available to those wanting to participate. We have some cool WKYT goodies to give you and you will get a tour of the studio. Just be there at the station by 10 this morning and I will find a way to squeeze ya in. 🙂

The Hi Res NAM did a good job with the northwesterly wind flow cold numbers from Thursday and should handle Sunday well…

Wind chills should stay in the 20s all day long.

Another cold shot arrives just before Thanksgiving, taking our temps below normal once again. The new European Model tries to blow up a storm along the east coast…

Thanksgiving weekend continues to find a stronger signal for cold and winter weather showing up. The GFS…

I have you all set to track today’s action…
