KEY MESSAGES

- Dry conditions will prevail for the next several days as temperatures climb back to above normal levels.

LONG TERM

(Saturday night through Thursday) Issued at 425 AM EDT FRI AUG 28 2026

The most current model data sticks with the idea of broad 5h ridging covering much of the southeast quadrant of the country through the weekend and well into the new work week. Any model differences seem to be confined to the northern international border region - too far away to have an impact on the weather for eastern Kentucky. Some weakness in the large ridge with time could allow for convection to return to the forecast by mid-week - mainly in the higher southeastern terrain initially then possibly a chance for the entire area on Thursday. Regardless, the end of the month and start of September will be primarily remembered for its warmth and mainly dry conditions.

AVIATION

(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday night) ISSUED AT 155 AM EDT FRI AUG 28 2026

Partly cloudy to clear skies overnight will allow areas of IFR or worse fog formation in valleys and places that saw rain on Thursday. This fog could extend to nearby ridgetops and possibly affect terminals southeast of I-64. Otherwise, conditions will be VFR through the period. Meanwhile, winds will be light - generally 5 kts or less - from the north.

JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
