Good Tuesday, everyone. We have a much colder wind blowing across the Commonwealth today as our cold front continues to push to our east. This is bringing in a seasonal chill and some very nice weather for the next few days. But, the system moving our way by the weekend continues to be a pain in the keester.
Let’s begin with today and roll forward. Temps may not make it out of the 50s for many areas with a gusty wind making it feel colder. The day may start with a few showers hanging on across the east. Here’s regional radar to follow that action out of town…
Wednesday and Thursday continues to look very nice with seasonal temps and a mix of sun and clouds.
I’m still riding the Euro and Canadian models for the weekend forecast. Our system rolling toward us Friday may spit out a shower or two, but we effectively get a trough to split. That leaves a piece of energy behind into parts of Texas. That rolls to the northeast as a potent storm system Saturday and Sunday, bringing an increase in rain to Kentucky. The new run of the ICON has flipped to this solution…
The GFS is actually showing signs of going this way and should continue to correct over the next few days.
Temps should bounce back to normal early next week, but the mid-week system continues to look interesting. Arctic air will be diving into the west and plains states and should crank out another storm system. As that arctic air works our way, several models have been showing a taste of winter getting close to us, or for us, by Halloween.
Here’s the Canadian…
The temps off this run are pretty absurd for Halloween…
Even the GFS is showing something nearby…
The brand spanking new run of the European Weeklies from WeatherBell go all the way through the first few days of December and show an increasingly colder and active setup. Look at how much above normal our precipitation is…
That’s one interesting pipeline of precip coming out of the western Gulf of Mexico and likely means a super active southern storm track.
Snow chances also show up…
I will drop by for another update this evening. Until then, have a great day and take care.
Chris why would we get excited about that grey color what is that a half inch of snow now it was showing those pink and blues I’d say yay but Sam old same old we got to move north to see snow
It is not January or Feb or I would say the same.
Here before the hot takes.
Now fellow bloggers don’t poo poo on CB’s thoughts.. Ramblin Hamlin won’t be happy with hot takes. Thank you
We need to be respectful of everyone’s opinions right or wrong.
That I agree with, but when opinions are tinged with false statements, they come into question.
It’s still an opinion, a viewpoint not necessarily based on fact (look it up). Apparently you don’t know what an opinion is, and that’s a fact.
This.
No, not this.
You piked up almost 2″ of rain in Knox County, Andy.
What does this have to do with the conversation?
You are wrong yet again.
So much for being respectful just because its different doesn’t always make it wrong.
I a$$ume the trick or treaters would prefer the cold weather over the steady rain we had last year.
I did not have even one costume knocked on my door.
I did gain a few pounds due to all the leftover candy I had in my house.
Seems the “cooler” temps have been pushed back to mid week next week, anyone else think they’ll get pushed back to the weekend……then into the following week?
I’m happy the sweater weather is here (the “hide how fat I am” weather.) Cold breezes, jackets, hot soup, pots of chili, and good football weather make me happy. Hold the snow off ’till Thanksgiving.
