» It finally felt like fall here in Central and Eastern Kentucky on
» Thursday as an upper level low dropped out of the Great Lakes and
» into the Ohio Valley. Under mostly cloudy skies many locations
» struggled to reach the upper 50s for afternoon highs and a cool
» northwest wind made it feel even cooler. The upper low will begin
» to move away from the region into Friday but we should still see
» some cloudiness around. Highs should make it back to around 60
» degrees or so to end the week with a very pleasant weekend on tap
» for the area. Temperatures may drop into the 30s in the early
» morning over the weekend so some patchy frost is possible, but the
» afternoons should be fantastic so make some outdoor plans and get
» out and enjoy it. We’ll see a bit of a warming trend early next
» week with another shot of rain by Tuesday…TG
