A cold front continues to press across the state early today, bringing MUCH better air behind it for the rest of our Labor Day weekend. While temps will toast up again for a few days by the middle of the week, it won&#8217;t be nearly as hot, and it won&#8217;t have the same staying power.<\/p>\n<p>A leftover shower or storm will be noted out there today, especially early on and, especially across the southeast. Highs across central and eastern Kentucky range from the upper 70s to low 80s with still some upper 80s in the far west and southwest. Drier winds will also be kicking in, making it feel really nice as the day wears on.<\/p>\n<p>That drier air will help Labor Day morning lows drop into the mid and upper 50s for some areas&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/WRF.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-78692\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/WRF.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"966\" height=\"758\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/WRF.png 966w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/WRF-300x235.png 300w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/WRF-768x603.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 966px) 100vw, 966px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Labor Day temps are generally in the 80s with a mix of sun and clouds.
