Good Saturday and welcome to the weekend. Another big push of cool air is blowing across the bluegrass state today as a cold front slips in. This front will touch off a scattering of showers and thunderstorms today with the late September temps to follow.

Clouds and scattered showers and storms will help keep today’s temps from getting to 80 degrees in many areas. The actual rain action isn’t going to be a washout, but you will need to keep the umbrella or rain gear handy.

The cold front swing through here this evening and that allows the bottom to fall out… July style. This is a map straight out of fall…

This air mass spells low and mid 50s for low temps Sunday and Monday with highs in the 70s. Record lows are likely to fall both days. Outlying areas may drop into rare territory in July… the upper 40s.

The threat for showers and storms will return by Tuesday and should hang around through the end of the week. That’s when low pressure is forecast to track from west to east across the Tennessee Valley…Euro 2

Hmmm… if this were winter… 😉  Regardless, that’s a setup that will keep temps on the cooler side of normal for the end of next week.

Looking farther down the road, the GFS Ensembles keep the cool pattern through, at least, August 7th…

Make it a great Saturday and take care.
