Good Wednesday to one and all. Our fall storm system is rolling over us and it’s bringing some nasty weather with it. It’s also bringing late October temps with it and that means the first Pot Of Chili of the season is in order. 😎
Let’s go ahead and give this one more run to get those fall juices flowing…
Here’s a breakdown of how things play out today through the end of the week…
- Low pressure wraps up on top of us today and moves through the Ohio Valley and into the Great Lakes Thursday.
- Numerous showers and storms are located along and ahead of the low with wraparound showers coming in behind it. Some local high water issues can’t be ruled out across parts of central Kentucky, especially early
- Temps today spike into the 70s ahead of the low in eastern Kentucky while the 50s crash into central Kentucky from the northwest. The numbers in the east then drop into the 50s later in the day.
- Most areas of central and eastern Kentucky likely stay in the 50s for the better part of the afternoon.
- Winds are a big player behind the low and may reach 30-40mph at times in central and western Kentucky.
- Lingering showers take us into tonight before pulling away to the north by Thursday morning. Temps range from the mid 40s to low 50s.
- We will need to watch for some wraparound clouds hanging around on Thursday, especially across the north. If clouds do hang around long enough, highs are only in the 50s. For those seeing sun, 60-65 will be possible.
- Temps by Friday morning drop into the low and middle 40s for many. Can one of the traditional cold spots hit 39 or 40? Maybe.
- Friday looks awesome with temps in the 65-70 degree range central and eastern Kentucky and 70-75 west.
I mentioned the gusty winds out there today and tonight.
Another cold front drops in here Saturday and could bring a quick hitting band of gusty showers…
That keeps temps running below normal.
The control run of the EURO Ensembles was the first to see this current shot of chill and it did so with everything else showing summer temps this week. The summer temps idea didn’t match the pattern and that’s why I was riding the Control from the get go. The same model shows the weekend trough followed by another system early next week…
If we expand that same run out, we find the model trying to keep some kind of trough in our region through early October…
Remember several weeks ago when I said this looks like a fall and winter for big closed upper lows? We are starting to see this pattern already showing itself. I will throw some winter ideas at you guys later this week and into the weekend.
I will have another update later today. Until then, here are your radars to track the rain across the region…
Make it a wonderful Wednesday and take care.
