Temps then start to come up a bit with mid 70s to low 80s for the middle and end of the week. Skies will once again be on the dry side with a nice breeze kicking in.<\/p>\n<p>An upper-level low is spinning to our southeast over the next few days and this will spawn a healthy low that rides up the east coast. This has the chance to bring some clouds in here by late week with an even smaller chance for a shower in the east.<\/p>\n<p>As this system rolls up the eastern seaboard, it opens the door for another system to roll in from the west. The evolution of this is still a work in progress, but a stout closed upper level low is a good possibility this weekend into the first part of next week&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Canadian-14.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-60797\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Canadian-14.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"984\" height=\"808\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That happens as we revert back to a pattern that features blocking across Canada with troughs trapped underneath into our region.
