Temps are very chilly to start the day with a few upper 30s possible for areas getting clear skies. Highs this afternoon are mainly in the 60s with a mix of sun and clouds. Those clouds in the east may still contain a few showers.

I can&#8217;t totally rule out an isolated shower going up. Temps are well into the 70s.<\/p>\n<p>A major plains storm system is developing and will roll toward the upper midwest by Friday. That system will have a major snowstorm along and to the west of the track, putting a smackdown on many areas. This storm drags a cold front quickly across Kentucky on Friday. The timing on this is still in flux, but it should bring a line of showers and storms across the state&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/canadian-2-1.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-37378\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/canadian-2-1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"786\" \/><\/a>Winds look VERY gusty with this setup as temperatures crash from west to east.
