Of course the winds have been cranking all day on Sunday with gusts over 40 miles per hour for much of the day. These winds out of the south really helped to crank temperatures up into the upper 50s for highs Sunday and we haven't seen much drop off after sunset so expect a mild start to Monday. A cold front with an incredible temperature differences on either side is working toward Kentucky so expect drastic changes to begin the week. Just to give you an example, at 9pm Eastern Sunday it was 59 degrees in St. Louis Missouri in the east and 9 degrees in Kansas City Missouri in the west....WOW! A Winter Storm Watch is already posted for much of the Bluegrass for late Monday and into Tuesday, and this storm definitely has potential.

First things first...as expected we saw a good soaking rain Wednesday and into early Thursday with most locations picking up 1"-2" of rain. It's just what the doctor ordered given the drought situation and it appears now that more rain (along with some wintry weather) is on the way for the end of the week. You know Kentucky weather in "winter"...always complicated/never boring.

First the wind and the warmth here in Kentucky, then the moderate to heavy rain (at least for some folks through the early and mid afternoon). As expected a strong south wind kicked up early Tuesday with gusts up to around 45 miles per hour. I know much of my lawn furniture out back go rearranged promptly thanks to the high wind, so that took some work righting that ship. The plus side of the wind though was late morning/afternoon highs into the low and mid 60s in most spots. This felt like the proverbial "heat wave" compared to what we have seen lately. Eastern Kentucky enjoyed it the longest into the late afternoon since the rain held off there. Everyone gets in on the act with a good soaking into Wednesday.

Ironically we had another spot or two of it this morning as the moisture flow increased from the south, creating a few patches of freezing rain. Luckily it wasn't widespread and didn't last long, and that south wind really took care of the warming things up a bit through Monday afternoon. Even with a mix of clouds and sun, high managed to run up to around 50 degrees through the late afternoon. The warming trend will continue and then some heading into Tuesday.

The snow snuck in a little earlier than even I expected, and with the ground solidly cold from the last couple of days being below freezing, the roadways got slick in a hurry. This is a classic case of little snow but big impact.

It seems like I limp to the finish line more and more each work week, and this one is no exception. While it hasn't been a horribly difficult week, this consistent cold weather is the pits! I'm all for some seasonable temperatures, especially when it comes to December and the holiday season but I guess jumping into the cold earlier than usual makes the novelty wear off quicker. This is ground we've already covered in previous posts so on we go...lol.

No big surprise...the cold air is back but at least it held off long enough Thursday morning so that the majority of the moisture could get out of the area, thus keeping the wintry weather to a bare minimum. Trust me I'd rather throw out the possibility of an impact with the morning commute and have it not materialize, then to say nothing about it...lay a quarter inch of snow down just prior to the rush hour and have everyone skating around dumbfounded!

It's been a rock and roll afternoon in the office so I'll be forced to keep the post shorter today since the clock is ticking toward the late afternoon newscasts. Winds were gusty as expected...around 25 to 30 miles per hour at times. Despite the mid to high level clouds sneaking in a little sooner than I anticipated, we still managed to make it into the low and mid 50s for afternoon highs so it was a nice change of pace even though it still felt cool with the wind. Don't get used to it since the cold air comes plunging in by Thursday morning.

A small wave of energy moved by just to our north during the afternoon hours, and kept extensive cloud cover and chilly temperatures around the Central and Eastern part of Kentucky. We even saw a few snow flurries during the daylight hours Tuesday, but just as quickly conditions will do an "about face" into Wednesday with milder air coming our way, albeit briefly.
