Good Thursday, everybody. It’s a gorgeous fall pattern taking shape across our part of the world and this looks to be locking in through the remaining days of September. We will track a couple more cold fronts before the month is over and I’ll talk some about where this pattern goes for the rest of fall. I might even throw in a little winter hint or two.

Our day starts with chilly temps ranging from the low and mid 40s for those with clear skies, to low 50s for those with clouds. Those clouds are also spitting out some early showers across parts of northern Kentucky.

Here are your radars to follow along…

Lows tonight into Friday morning into hit 40-45 in most areas, but I can’t rule out some of the colder valleys sneaking into the upper 30s. Friday is absolutely fantastic with plenty of sun and temps in the upper 60s to near 70 across the eastern half of the state and low to mid 70s west.

Another cold front moves in on Saturday and brings a quick-hitting band of gusty showers across the state…

Sunday is another sensational day and looks similar to our Friday.

Another system will then sweep in hereĀ  by the middle of next week.

I promised a little deeper look ahead into fall and I’m here to deliver. As you guys know, I start working on some winter weather stuff in late Summer. I try to compile a preliminary list of analog years and I do have a couple that have taken the lead. I’ll throw one at you guys and that one is 2008. That year gave us some early season flakes at the end October.

Low and behold, some of the seasonal models are trying to do the same thing.

Each panel from the CFS shows the flake potential in the 10 day period from October 26th through November 4th…

The Control run of the EURO weeklies also go through the first few days of November and show a little flake action…

I’ll share some of my other analog years over the next few days.

Have a good one and take care.
