Good Thursday, folks. FINALLY, we have a busy weather day taking shape across the commonwealth of Kentucky. A strong cold front is brining booming showers and thunderstorms, gusty winds and a big temperature drop. This ends of recent run of obnoxious warm temps.<\/p>\n

Today’s showers and storms can put down some decent totals as they sweep eastward. The best chance for strong storms will be across the central and eastern part of the state. Your tracking tools in a bit.<\/p>\n

Winds are going to be cranking with gusts of 30mph-40mph possible as the colder air sweeps in from west to east.<\/p>\n

Leftover showers get out of town by Friday afternoon with some sunshine returning. Winds will be very gusty and usher in the coldest air of the season with highs in the 50s. Mid and upper 30s are a good bet for many by Saturday morning…<\/p>\n

Winds are likely to remain too high for widespread frost to develop, though some patchy stuff is certainly possible.<\/p>\n

Saturday is another windy and chilly day with low 60s west and middle 50s east. All of this happens as our storm strengthens across new England. This may put down snow in New England and could cause the first flakes to fly in the highest elevations of the Appalachian Mountains…<\/p>\n

That shows some flakes in the high mountains just to our east.<\/p>\n

Nice weather returns to the region from Sunday through early next week with highs mainly in the 60s. This will then set the stage for another potent storm system to impact our weather late in the week into Halloween weekend…<\/p>\n

The latest GFS has a winter look to start November…<\/p>\n

Speaking of winter, the next update will be heavily focused on some of the signs I’m seeing for the winter ahead.<\/p>\n

Let’s get back to tracking the one impacting the region today…<\/p>\n
