Good Friday to one and all. As we get ready to close the books on one of the wettest September’s on record, Mother Nature is actually sending the month out on a very nice note. The weekend weather looks nothing short of awesome, but storms are lurking for early October. That may lead us into a healthy early season cold shot by next weekend.

Let’s start with this weekend. Temps will be in the upper 40s to middle 50s across the state to start our Friday. A lingering shower quickly moves way from the east, with partly sunny skies taking control. Highs today will be in the upper 60s and low 70s for the central and east, with mid 70s west. One word of caution on the temps… If clouds linger, the numbers will be quite a bit lower.

Saturday will feature temps very similar to what we have today. Those numbers will rise well into the 70s by Sunday as we hang on to dry weather. Basically, this is a great looking fall weekend in Kentucky.

Temps are above normal next week, with a couple of systems working into town. Scattered showers and storms will flare up from time to time…

Typhoon Trami continues to recurve in the western Pacific…

As mentioned, that typically forces a trough to dig into the eastern half of the country a week or so later. Sure enough, check out the European Model temp departure late next weekend…

On a related note… Watch the tropics in the Atlantic. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a couple of October systems making a run at the coast.

Have a great day and take care.
