Good evening, everyone. Our cold front continues to roll across the state, bringing showers and a few storms to the bluegrass state. This will usher in much colder air for Tuesday as the front passes well to our east. After that, the weekend system is starting to come into better focus and so is the potential for a winter looking pattern that follows.
This evening’s showers and rumbles of thunder are mainly across central and eastern Kentucky and this action will end later tonight. Gusty winds and heavy rainfall will accompany some of this action. Here are your evening trackers…
Gusty winds and chillier temps will be noted on Tuesday. The day may begin with some showers in the east and sun elsewhere, but a few backwash clouds drop back in from the northwest in the afternoon. Much of the day may feature temps struggling to get out of the 50s.
Wednesday and Thursday look flat out awesome.
Our weekend system continues to show up differently on the models, but I’m strongly leaning toward the European and Canadian solutions. They feature a slow-moving storm coming out of the deep south with gusty winds, heavy rain and chilly air…
The European is getting faster with that system as it sheds the bias of holding energy back. That also impacts the next system coming behind that into the middle of next week. That system will be on the leading edge of arctic air pouring into the country. Look what the new EURO cranks out across the Ohio Valley…
What’s interesting is that most models are locking in on the cold, but vary on the chance for winter precip showing up by the end of the month into the start of November. Look at the arctic cold numbers on the Canadian as close out October…
Those numbers are for an October morning, folks. Wow.
Enjoy the evening and take care.
