Good Tuesday, everyone. Our big storm system is still on track to have a significant impact on our weather as we head into Halloween. This is a potent storm that will bring a lot of rain, wind, and the potential of strong and severe storms.
We have a nice surge of milder air coming in ahead of this system. Temps will hit the 60s today with the threat for a shower or thunderstorm going up. Here’s regional radar…
Wednesday will warm close to 70 degrees in some areas as scattered showers and thunderstorms return… especially in the west and north. Those will impact temps.
The real action begins on Thursday as low pressure rolls from the plains states into the Great Lakes and drags a cold front across the state…
Here’s a quick breakdown of the day…
– Widespread rain and thunderstorms will work eastward through the day into Thursday night.
– Heavy rainfall of 1″-2″ will be likely for much of the state.
– There is a tremendous amount of wind energy available. Wind gusts approaching 40mph will be a good possibility.
– Can we get some strong or severe storms? The potential is there… especially across the western part of the state. The latest severe weather threat for Thursday from the SPC:
Timing will be everything in determining how much strong or severe storm action we get into. Damaging wind will be the primary threat.
Leftover showers scoot out of here early Friday as we await the arrival of another cold front over the weekend. That one has a quick hitting shot of cold air behind it…
That may have a few rain showers ahead of it on Saturday. There is still a small chance for a few flakes to mix in across the east Saturday night.
Another big storm system is likely to roll our way by the middle of next week as our yo yo pattern gets going.
I will continue to monitor the Halloween storm system and have updates as needed. Enjoy your day and take care.
What the FOG is going on? Frankfort is in the soup this morning!
Ha!!!!
I know, rite!! And the NWS has been forcasting “mostly sunny” for today…….Looking at the satellite, I don’t see how mostly sunny is possible today.
No sun in Frankfort with a very low cloud deck and temps in the low 50s still!
Looks like rain is moving in from the west also!
What happened to the cold air we were supposed to have at the end of the month? Looks like the weather is going to be bad Halloween for the kiddos. Are you thinking we might get a significant snow in November Chris for Lexington?
If CB could predict a significant snow for Lexington or any part of KY for November this far out, CB would be running hot dog stands on the moon.
You seem like a great candidate for that one way trip to Mars Prelude. Maybe hotdogs would be a hit up there also.
That Fog was wild this morning. I have an office in Louisville and Lexington and today was my day to drive from Lawrenceburg to Louisville. It usually takes me about 45 minutes to get to the office on Shelbyville Road. Today it took 1 hour 20 minutes.
I drove into Frankfort at 7:30 this morning… not foggy at all. Left Frankfort for a meeting in Paris at 8:45..the fog was HORRID! Left paris at 10:45…still there! What the fog???????! 🙂
Fog was horrible this morn in Flatwoods! Left for Frankfort around 9:30 and had fog the whole way there and was still foggy when we got there around 11:30! I don’t think I saw the sun until we got back to Flatwoods late this afternoon!!!!!
