FIRST ALERT | Chris Bailey Tracks Mild Temps

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - It’s another winner of a weather day across the Commonwealth as our gorgeous September rolls on. We will change things up a bit later this weekend into next week as a big upper level low works into the region.

Temps out there today range from the middle 40s to middle 50s across the state and wind up in the 70s again with a mix of sun and clouds.

Wednesday is a bit milder with mid and upper 70s central and east and low 80s west. Those numbers come up into the upper 70s and low 80s for central and eastern Kentucky Thursday and Friday. The west may see numbers a degree or two better, but this area may also see some showers.

As this is happening, a system develops along the southeastern coast and slowly lifts to the north along the east coast. The National Hurricane Center is even highlighting this region for possible development.

As mentioned, the models take this up the east coast this weekend and early next week. Can it get far enough west to throw a shower into the region? I have my doubts.

As that system pulls away to the northeast, it opens up the pattern to produce a big cutoff system across the Plains and Mississippi Valley. This would likely roll into our region at some point early next week, but the details are still to be determined. This will throw some rain at us early next week.
