Good Saturday everyone. A big thanks for all the well wishes and prayers for the family over the past few days. My parents are doing much better and your kind words mean more to me than I can ever tell you or show you.

It’s hard to believe we have made it to the last few days of September. It has been a wet and cool month for much of the bluegrass state, but it looks to be ending on a rather pleasant note. Enjoy it because we have another rainstorm coming early next week with a massive cold shot lurking by the end of the week.

Today begins with dense fog that will be slow to burn away. Skies will become partly sunny, but I still can’t rule out a stray shower in the south or southeast. Highs will range from the upper 60s to lower 70s. Sunday’s weather looks very similar to what we have out there today.

Remember the southern storm I have been barking about for the past several days and how it may impact our weather next week? It blows into town Monday and will bring a lot of rain with it. Showers and storms will arrive early Monday and kick into high gear later in the day. Take a look at how the NAM sees it…

The track of that storm may even come a bit farther west than what that model run shows. That’s a heck of a moisture supply from the Gulf Of Mexico and that may deliver a good 1″-3″ of rain to much of the area through Tuesday.

The rain will slowly pull away by mid week as we focus our attention on something else we’ve been talking about on the blog. A big blast of cold air is destined to engulf much of the central and eastern sections of the country by the end of the week. The European Model shows the cold look…

That setup may bring snow from the Rockies into the Great Lakes as the cold air dives in from Canada. That cold shot for us may bring sub freezing temps by next weekend or the following week as a deep trough gets established.

Have a great Saturday and take care.
