This Is A Heck Of A Cold Pattern

Good Sunday, friends and neighbors. We’re starting out the day on a frosty note across much of the bluegrass state with temps in the low and mid 30s. If you think this is cold… just wait until you see what’s coming in a few days. As the title says… this is one heck of a cold pattern we’re going into.

Highs today will warm toward the low 60s under partly sunny skies. Monday will start with upper 30s and end with low and mid 60s. Winds will gust up ahead of a fast moving cold front. That system arrives Tuesday morning with a lot of wind, showers and cold air…

Man, that is one nasty looking start to the day!

The next system dives in here on Wednesday and works across the Ohio Valley from west to east. This will bring more wind, showers and even colder air. With such cold air moving in aloft… we continue to see the small potential of a few flakes or a touch of sleet mixing in…

Temps Wednesday should only hit the low to mid 40s for highs. That may be generous for a few spots. Keep an eye out for another disturbance or two to dive in from the northwest behind that one. Regardless… the air coming in behind the Wednesday system is COLD. It’s rare to have the potential for 3 straight mornings in the 20s in October…We could challenge a record low or two before all is said and done.

Another front will dive in from the northwest Saturday night and Sunday. This could bring similar conditions to what we see on Wednesday.

I continue to hone in on an even bigger push of cold Halloween week…

Think things change as we head into early November? The temp departure forecast from the GFS Ensembles says, think again…

As I stated several days ago, I will be surprised if we get through the first week of November without seeing the first flakes of the season.

Have a great Sunday and take care.
