Odds favor a rather robust winter setup to return quickly as we roll into next week.<\/p>\n<p>Low clouds and fog may be tough to burn off in some areas today. That could keep a few areas much cooler than the rest of the state. Those with more clouds may be closer to 40 degrees. More sun and you&#8217;re into the mid and upper 40s. Western Kentucky soars deep into the 50s.<\/p>\n<p>Gusty southwesterly winds will crank on Friday and could reach 45mph at times.
