Good afternoon, folks. Seasonally chilly temps are back in the bluegrass state as we watch another cold front crashing in for your weekend. This will bring a big blast of wind with it before very cold air surges in for much of next week.

The forecast through Saturday hasn’t changed on my end as temps actually run a little colder than normal during this time.

Winds will begin to gust on Saturday as our cold front approaches from the west. Those winds will absolutely crank Saturday night and Sunday as the front slams in here. Gusts may top 50mph at times. There’s some nice agreement among the models…

GFS

A few showers show up ahead of the front later Saturday, but this action becomes widespread as we go into Saturday night and early Sunday. From there, colder air moves in with another front pushing in behind this one…

I continue to think temps moderate quickly by the end of next week into the start of the weekend. But, the trend continues to be for another push of cold air to dive in here from the northwest to kick off Thanksgiving week. Can this setup have a storm system with it?

The Canadian says yes…

The EURO is slower but you can see low pressure coming out of the southwest on the final day of the model run…

The GFS sees the cold shot coming, but is always showing a progressive look…

So, my idea of Thanksgiving week giving us something to watch out for seems to have some merit. At least it does for now. 🙂

Enjoy the rest of your day and take care.
