Milder Winds Before A November Pattern

Good Wednesday, everyone. Milder winds are starting to kick in and will continue through the end of the week. That changes in a hurry by the weekend as another November looking and feeling pattern settles in for an extended stay.

Our day starts with patchy frost, especially in the valleys across the northern half of the state. A few clouds will be noted as the milder air starts to flex from the southwest to the northeast. Those clouds may also spit out a light shower or two with the greatest chance in the north this afternoon.

Your friendly radars are hanging around to keep you company in case those showers show up…

Temps reach the mid and upper 70s for many Thursday with 80 possible across the western half of the state. Mild temps continue into Friday ahead of our storm system rolling in for the weekend.

I have no changes to the overall progression of this setup:

• Showers and a few thunderstorms roll into western Kentucky Friday and then across the rest of the state Friday evening into early Saturday.
• There’s a low-end chance for a some strong storms with this.
• Winds are very gusty during this time and may reach 35-40mph at times.
• Wrapround showers show up behind the departing low late Saturday as temps fall through the 60s and into the 50s.
• More in the way of wraparound showers will be noted Sunday and Monday on a strong northwest wind flow.
• Highs from Sunday into early next week have a really good chance to stay in the 50s.

You can see all this on the EURO…

Watch those upper lows pinwheel through the region all the way into the middle of next week…

That’s a very impressive look.

Once that moves out, here comes the next big trough ready to deepen the farther east it gets…

That’s the EURO for next Friday and the various Ensembles have been signaling a continuation of the eastern trough right on through the end of October. Check this out from the final week of the month…

This is a remarkably stable pattern, folks.

I will have another update later today. Until then, have a wonderful Wednesday and take care.
