Good Thursday, everyone. It’s been a busy day of travel and your friendly weatherdude is a little on the tired side. That means we are only gonna hit the high notes with this update. As always, I will make it up to you over the next few days.
A fast moving system will bring another round of chilly showers of sleet, rain and some flakes to the region. Here’s regional radar…
Temps today will stay in the low and mid 40s for central and eastern Kentucky. The west will head toward the low 50s with a tad more sunshine.
As skies clear tonight… record lows will be possible. Readings will drop into the mid and upper 20s for most of the state. A few of the cold spots may drop into the low 20s. It simply doesn’t get much colder than that for this time of the year.
Friday will feature some sun and temps only in the 40s again. Saturday starts in the 20s with low 50s coming your way by the afternoon under a partly sunny sky. The next cold front arrives Saturday night into early Sunday. This will bring an increase in clouds and a few cold showers back into town.
The models continue to have issues with the pattern for next week. The massive cold shot is aimed more toward the west and develops a huge storm across the plains. The models then take this toward the northern Ohio Valley into the Great Lakes by Halloween…
That would make for some nasty trick or treating for the kiddos. admittedly , I have not had a lot of time to look at the pattern for next week. But, I’m not even close to being sold on what they are trying to sell right now. More on all that later.
Have a great day and take care.
Thanks Chris! We have Lake Effect snow falling here in central WV right now AND it is sticking with a temp of 33F!
Tonight is going to be very nasty on the roads.. I am envisaging black ice aplenty.. stay safe, folks!
Glad you are home ok Chris. Hope you had a great trip. I know you did. The weather certainly is interesting looking for next week. Think we are going to get an early dose of winter? Beginning to look that way.
Thanks for all you do, Chris, even when on a trip with your daughter. You are truly amazing! Thanks a bunch! Have a great day, everyone!
Lots of snow coming down in WV!
Snowing in Lawrenceburg, KY
50 here I dont think there will be a hard freeze at my plave
Already down to 35 in Lawrenceburg at 7:00 P.M. Skies are starting to clear–I’m guessing 25 or so by morning.
Chris M, even if it was only a trace of snow this time, you might have to teach your young son about proper snow measurements with his weather station sooner than expected 🙂 .
This weather is just YUCK!!!! Big wind gusts just now.
Wouldn’t it be just CRAZY if from this point on, through March or April, that we just had below normal temps. It’s happened before. I guess we will see.
This is awfully cold weather for late October, especially the daytime hi temps.
I’m freezing!! But better too cold than too hot (for me)
SNOWING IN LEXINGTON!!! Nice to see some early season flakes, this snow is making me want more! You were right since 2 weeks ago Chris, we are having our first snow before November.
Looks like Friday night high school football games in our area will be dry. It will be cold so dress warmly, although not quite as cold compared to tonight.
A bit warmer for Saturday college games with most games being dry.
Looks like 60s dropping to 50s tonight with a little bit of wind chill during the Kentucky game in Starkville Mississippi. Starkville’s temps won’t plunge into the upper 30s until after the game ends. Thus, it will be relatively pleasant during the contest.
Here in Waynesburg Ky my car top is solid ice. I couldnt believe it.Bring on the snow.
Two stations are outlooking unseasonably warm temps for next week including 70 degrees for a late week high. This would contradict a sustained cold into November. Wonder what will be correct? I will not even bother pretending to have a clue. Ditto for a winter outlook this year. I surrender!
Did either of them tell you it would snow this week? 😉
