Good Monday, everyone. It’s an awesome blast of fall air invading the Bluegrass state today as a cold front pushes to our east. This brings us some of the good stuff through the middle of the week before the numbers climb as we get closer to the weekend.
Today starts with a band of showers and storms working out of eastern Kentucky with rapid clearing coming in behind it. Humidity levels crash as winds gust up with temps mainly in the low 70s for most of the area.
A few wraparound clouds will also be noticed, especially into the north by evening. There’s also an outside chance for a stray shower getting south of the Ohio River. Here are your radars to follow this spinning system…
This upper level low working through here is pretty awesome to watch on water vapor. Check it out…
Lows over the next few mornings reach the upper 40s to low 50s with very pleasant afternoon’s to follow.
This is a dry week with temps returning toward 80-85 by the end of the week into the weekend. The west will do it a little better than that for highs. Humidity levels are will low, so we’ve got that going for us.
What happens from here largely depends on what happens along the east coast. The models are developing a storm system along or just off the Mid-Atlantic states. Does this thing cut off and back the entire pattern up or does it just roll out to see allowing a trough to dig in?
The EURO is now cutting this low off…
The GFS moves it along…
We shall see how that plays out in the coming days. Until then, enjoy this awesome blast of pleasant air.
Make it a great Monday and take care.
Beautiful time lapse photo of the upper level system to our North, but the cold front didn’t provide much in the way of rainfall accumulation in my area around fifteen hundreds of an inch. The most rain fell to my Southeast here in Kentucky. Another system of scattered areas of heavy rain. Looks dry and very warm on the eight to fourteenth day outlook, and even a ninety degree high showing up on the twenty first. This tells me the system along the East Coast will keep it warm and dry here in the Mid- West and Ohio Valley ? Will welcome Fall temperatures in the mid thirties to forties for lows and highs in the fifties and sixties in October I hope, but the signals for this to happen are not showing up. In the meantime, enjoy the late Summer like temperatures with the low dew points and humidity.

The cold front moved through yesterday evening, accompanied by line of showers and thunderstorms, and instead of pestering out or detouring around our location, a particularly strong cell passed right over us. Between 6:45 pm CDT and 7:05 pm CDT, I recorded 1.31″ of rain! At 6:55 pm, the rain rate was 4.10″ per hour, which is fire hose on a flat rock territory. From a standpoint of precipitation, this has certainly been an all or nothing year.
A moderate thunderstorm cell passed directly over my home just south of Bowling Green around 6:45 pm, and by 7:05 pm it had dropped 1.31″ of rain. At 6:55 pm, the rain rate was 4.10 inches per hour!
