Another September looking and feeling cold front is ready to push through the region tonight and early Friday. This brings another round of nice temps before we turn up the heat into early next week. How long that heat sticks around has a lot to do with the tropics.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s begin with our September cold front working in tonight. The weather ahead of this is really nice today with upper 70s and low 80s as winds gust up and a few clouds increase. This front is moisture starved but should be able to fire up a broken line of showers and storms with it during the late evening hours. This pushes through very quickly overnight.<\/p>\n<p>Here are your radars to follow this finger of evening showers and a rumble of thunder\u2026<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-wrap\">\n<div class=\"post-content entry-content\">\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accuweather.com\/radar-large.asp?partner=netweather&amp;traveler=0&amp;site=KY_&amp;type=SIR&amp;anim=1&amp;level=state&amp;large=1#\"><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"jetpack-lazy-image jetpack-lazy-image--handled lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/sirocco.accuweather.com\/nx_mosaic_640x480_public\/sir\/inmaSIRKY_.gif\" alt=\"\" usemap=\"#largemap\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sirocco.accuweather.com\/nx_mosaic_640x480_public\/sir\/inmaSIRKY_.gif\" data-lazy-loaded=\"1\" \/><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The air coming in behind this is fresh and feels like mid to late September.

If you look closely enough at the map above, you see the lower highs along the California coast. That&#8217;s because the leftovers of soon to be Hurricane Hilary may very well impact southern California.
