Good Saturday everyone and welcome to your Labor Day Holiday Weekend. We have some amazing weather with us for the next few days and we may even flirt with a record low temp Sunday morning. We also have this little football game being played between my Kentucky Wildcats and the louisville cardinals.
As I have mentioned this week… I am trying to not show my big blue colors as much due to the big surge of blog visitors from the Louisville area. In years past… I have been a little harsh with our feathered friends wearing red and black. If this were a year ago… you might have seen me posting some things like this…
That would have been kind of mean of me to include such images in my blog. It sure is a good thing I have turned over a new leaf this year… even though my blood runs as blue as it can possibly be. I will be nice to our feathered friends and not feed into the inferiority complex that engulfs that program and their fan base. 
How about the weather for the big game? We will see partly sunny skies with temps around 75 for kickoff and readings dropping to around 70 for the second half. Winds will be a bit gusty as well.
For the rest of the state… highs will range from the low 70s for central and eastern Kentucky to the middle 70s for the rest of the state. Winds will be gusty at times as we start out with mostly sunny skies before some clouds develop in the afternoon hours.
Current Temps
Very chilly air will be with us tonight as temps take a major tumble deep into the 40s. As a matter of fact… we have a shot at a record low or two before all is said and done. The raw numbers from the GFS actually take thermometers into the UPPER 30S Sunday morning across the east. While I don’t think it will get THAT cold… some of the traditional cold spots can dip closer to 40. Brrrrr!
Sunday looks like another AWESOME weather day with temps back in the 70s for highs and sunshine. Labor Day will see temps return to the lower 80s for much of the region… with the western sections being a few degrees warmer.
Speaking of warmer air… it will be fighting in here again by Tuesday as temps spike well into the mid and upper 80s. The good news is that this does NOT look like a very hot pattern that gets out of control like we have seen in recent weeks. A weak front should approach the area from the northwest Wednesday into Thursday and bring a chance for showers and thunderstorms our way. This should knock temps back toward the lower and middle 80s.
I wanted to leave you with a gorgeous September weather video from a few years ago. It was a VERY nice weather night across Kentucky and had people dancing in the streets and anywhere else they could find…
That is all I have for you guys today… I hope our feathered friends have enjoyed the kinder, gentler version of your friendly weather dude. Believe it or not… I used to be so much worse! 
Have a great Saturday and GO BIG BLUE!!! Take care.

Song of the Day: “Goodbye Earl” by The Dixie Chicks…
And I agree with William’s prediction, just reverse the teams and replace “Charlie Strong” with “Joker Phillips”.
LOL, then you woke up.
GREAT JOB KEEP IT UP
Hey Little Brother. Post game party at Porcini’s. Starts :15 after thegame.
hey big brother, I hear Derrick Miller and Ed Davender are selling tickets to the ball game. Not sure if it’s legit it or not. You may want to investigate since most Big Bro fans are gullible as it gets.
Yes, and they were both sentenced to :15.
And I look great in a turtleneck.
Cats are looking great so far!
Brrr…it’s chilly outside. Might have to kick on the furnace tonight just in case.
Temps already down into upper 50s some places. I love this!
Thanks for the tip, I went ahead and bought a whole book for the season. Also, I just scored some Derby tickets from Steve Masiello. What a day!
BRRR It’s cold out there! Bring back the heat!
You know it feels like fall when a football game is on the TV and the first pot of chili for the season is on the stove!
I used to frequent this blog…always enjoyed it…
UNTIL….
I saw the “roadkill Card”…..??!
I may be a Card fan..always have been, regardless..??!;)I am also a Cats fan, too??!;)
I just thought this photo of a dead Card was in poor taste…
I’m a cats fan but I have to agree with the previous post, I didn’t like the road kill cardinal. On a brighter note, the video from the past was a blast.
I was hoping beyond hope that it wasn’t real…I didn’t like it either.
Also, in addition to the free tickets, an autograph session with World Wide Wes and Drake. So, after hurling the ghetto insult at UofL fans for years, now you guys can “keep it real” with these high rollers.
Get over it. It’s probably fake anyhow. Some people are so easily offended it’s pathetic.
For your information, Mr. Hamlin, I did not say I was offended. I said I DID NOT LIKE IT. I could care less about the sports or who is playing, I simply did not like the photo of the dead bird, if it is indeed real.
It seems some people always have to make asinine comments when someone voices an opinion that is not in line with their own.
