Good Friday, folks. We’ve made it to the end of the week and we are rolling into a windy and mainly dry weekend across the Commonwealth as a Tropical Storm along the Carolina coast slows everything down. This means our rain chances next week continue to look slow to develop.<\/p>\n

Before we get into the future, let’s give it up for September. The temperature pattern has been nothing short of amazing, especially over the past few weeks. Temps during this run averaged well below normal…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is essentially a continuation of the cooler than normal summer we are coming out of and this pattern shows no signs of letting up anytime soon. Did yea hear that winter lovers?<\/p>\n

Temps today generally range from the upper 70s east to the low 80s for the rest of the region. Skies will feature a mix of sun and clouds.<\/p>\n

As this is happening, Ophelia is developing off the southeastern coast and this will likely become a strong Tropical Storm as it heads toward a early Saturday landfall in North Carolina. Here’s the latest information on Ophelia and the latest track from the National Hurricane Center…<\/p>\n

\"cone<\/p>\n

As you can see, the track of this system likely stays well to our east, but it can throw some clouds into eastern Kentucky. It’s a stretch to get rain west of the Appalachians in a setup like this but the NAM fam is trying…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Again, any shower threat in eastern Kentucky is REALLY low during this time.<\/p>\n

Winds will be rather gusty starting this evening and going through Saturday with a tightening pressure gradient between a high to the north and Ophelia to the east. Gusts of 25mph or a little greater will be possible on this strong northeast flow…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Highs across central and eastern Kentucky will come way down during this time with low and middle 70s for Saturday and Sunday. Lows with a clear sky can get fairly chilly in some of the valleys.<\/p>\n

The setup for next week continues to be a complicated one with several upper-level lows spinning on top of us or nearby…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That will bring an increase in rain chances starting Tuesday and going through the end of the week. Can we finally cash in on these chances? Hope so.<\/p>\n

Have a fantastic Friday and take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
