We are rounding out the week with an improving sky and rolling into the weekend with more of the same. This weekend also marks the time we flip the calendar from September to October, with some big changes happening in the first week of the new month.<\/p>\n<p>The rainfall of the past few days was exactly what the weather doctor ordered. Some areas picked up 4&#8243;+ of rain, with the majority of the state getting enough rainfall to alleviate the dry spell we&#8217;ve been in for much of September.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s the chance for some scattered showers out there early today as our low slowly slips away to the northeast. Here are your radars to follow whatever shower shows up\u2026<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-wrap\">\n<div class=\"post-content entry-content\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/builder.zoomradar.net\/zoomradar_weather_map\/weather_page.php?key=dlFZs5IY4VCw7bK\" width=\"560\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" seamless=\"seamless\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\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>Some fog may be fairly thick in a few spots this morning and may also be slow to burn away. Most of us will see afternoon sunshine with temps mainly 75-80 for most of the state.<\/p>\n<p>Fog will be noted again early Saturday before a mix of sun and clouds takes control for the final day of the month. Highs range from the upper 70s east to low 80s west. Similar conditions and temps will be noted for Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>The first half of next week is seasonably warm with 80-85 for many. Most October&#8217;s feature some 80 degree temps, especially in the first half of the month, so this isn&#8217;t really that uncommon. Dry skies should continue through Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, I showed you how most of the models were going toward a major reversal of the pattern by the end of the week into next weekend, then continuing into the following week. One model was a holdout, and it was the EUROPEAN. The EURO sometimes struggles to eject troughs out of the west and I even wrote about how the one model that may struggle with the upcoming pattern would be the EURO.<\/p>\n<p>Well, the model has caught up to reality and quickly brings that deepening trough into the eastern half of the country&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/EURO-7.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-60906\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/EURO-7.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"984\" height=\"808\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s one heck of a ridge going up along the west coast and that&#8217;s the +PNA pattern I wrote about yesterday.
