It&#8217;s our final weekend of October kicking off and that means it&#8217;s also time for Halloween. That big weekend forecast starts off in killer shape before turning into a full-blown strangler as we brew up a late Halloween Weekend storm system.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t hate my on weather puns&#8230; I happen to think I&#8217;m very punny. Get it? Punny instead of funny? Oh never mind. &#x1f47b;&#x1f383; &#x1f61c;<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s break down the big weekend outlook&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Things start on a very good note today with highs in the 65-70 degree range with a mix of sun and clouds.<\/li>\n<li>Clouds thicken on Saturday as our storm system works our way from the southwest. Showers and a few thunderstorms move into western Kentucky by the afternoon and evening.<\/li>\n<li>Those showers and storms quickly overspread the rest of the state Saturday night and Sunday.<\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s not all day rain by any means on Sunday, but some hefty rain totals will show up. Temps struggle to get out of the 50s.<\/li>\n<li>Scattered showers then linger Sunday night into Halloween.<\/li>\n<li>Rainfall numbers are generall .25&#8243;-1&#8243; for many with some 1&#8243;+ amounts showing up.<\/li>\n<li>Halloween itself will feature a few showers that slowly wind down from west to east later in the day. Trick-or-treaters will find the decreasing chance for showers, but that still doesn&#8217;t ensure it&#8217;s fully dry. We still have some time to work on that.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The GFS is now picking up on the local 1&#8243; amounts&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/GFS-12.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-55266\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/GFS-12.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"967\" height=\"761\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That weak system I mentioned in my last post as possibly showing up by the middle of the week is a little more prominent on the latest run of the GFS&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/GFS-19.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-55265\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/GFS-19.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"984\" height=\"808\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not entirely sold on that system having that much of an impact on us, but the overall pattern is changing and it&#8217;s doing so very quickly.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been pointing toward late next week into the following weekend as a bit of a wild card. The EPO is forecast to dip negative in early November and I shared those forecasts with you a few days ago. That suggests a very active look to the pattern as troughs kick east into our region.<\/p>\n<p>The operational models and the ensembles have had some wild swings during the highlighted time period, and I suspect we will see that continue for a bit longer.<\/p>\n<p>The latest GFS is looking a lot like recent runs of the EURO and Canadian in bringing a big system in here late next week and weekend with cold air to follow&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/GFS-2-7.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-55264\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/GFS-2-7.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"984\" height=\"808\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Canadian still has a similar look&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Canadian-22.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-55263\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Canadian-22.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"984\" height=\"808\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The look there could bring the threat for strong storms before a major temp drop and this is something for us to watch as we get closer. That&#8217;s Breeders&#8217; Cup Weekend here in Lexington, so the forecast certainly takes on added importance.<\/p>\n<p>I will update all this later today, so check back.
