LONG TERM
(Sunday night through Friday) Issued at 226 AM EDT SAT OCT 3 2026
A cold front will be moving south across the area to begin the period Sunday evening, bringing a prolonged stretch of dry weather lasting through the upcoming week.
Monday will see the return to calm and quiet conditions across the region. High pressure will build across the Great Lakes, before migrating further east with time. A second high pressure system will then build in across the Ohio Valley, sustaining our dry weather through Friday with plentiful sunshine expected. Highs each day through the week should be mostly in the 70s, with a few 80s returning to our southwest counties as early as Thursday. Lows, especially on Monday and Tuesday nights, do look to be pretty chilly in the lower 40s. A few sheltered valleys could dip into the upper 30s, although model guidance does not really support frost quite yet, with fog a better possibility in the river valleys.
AVIATION
(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Saturday night) ISSUED AT 131 AM EDT SAT OCT 3 2026
A cold front has moved through the area, with mostly low MVFR or lower cigs within the post-frontal environment across eastern Kentucky as of 05z. Widespread MVFR to IFR conditions are anticipated to continue through much of the overnight into Saturday morning, although intermittent showers and low ceilings, courtesy of low stratus, may lead to temporary localized reductions to LIFR conditions. Ceilings will gradually improve to VFR later this morning through the afternoon today, with improvements first from the west and northwest, with slower improvements farther south and east. For all TAF sites, winds should generally remain northeasterly or variable at under 10 kts within the post-frontal environment.
