Good Wednesday evening. Colder winds are blowing across the bluegrass state as a front moves off to our east. This is all part of the change in the overall pattern that will lead to winter crashing into much of the country later this month into December.

Here are the headlines floating around in my little weather brain…

– Winds are gusting to between 25 and 30 mph hour this evening as our temps continue to drop. Readings by morning will range from the upper 20s west to low and mid 30s east.

– A disturbance will dive in from the northwest late Thursday and cause clouds to increase. A shower or two will develop as our highs stay in the 40s.

– The thermal min/thickness will cross across eastern Kentucky Thursday evening. This air is cold enough to support a few flakes of snow. The GFS Ensembles…



That is very light precipitation that won’t amount to much and some areas may not see much of anything. The afternoon run of the NAM is also spitting out some rain and snow shower action in the far north and east. Again… NOT a big deal, but there are many forecasts out there saying NOTHING will happen anywhere across the state and no one is saying a flake is possible.

– Veterans Day is looking blustery with temps in the upper 40s to low 50s.

– The weekend will see clouds moving back in with some showers by Sunday.

– The pattern setting up for next week is REALLY showing the change toward a wintry one across the lower 48. It’s very active and each storm that works across the nation taps more cold air than the one before.

– This is NOT the winter to be using traditional indicies or teleconnections! The atmosphere is in supercharged mode all across the northern hemisphere and we have unusually cold air showing up aloft. Major events are on tap in the coming months.

A full update comes your way later tonight. Take care.
