KEY MESSAGES

- High pressure supports cool early autumn weather for the start of the week.

- Warmer temperatures return from the middle to the end of the week, along with our next reasonable shot at seeing some rain.

LONG TERM

(Tuesday night through Sunday) Issued at 345 AM EDT MON SEP 28 2026

Not too many changes to the forecast for this period. Confidence remains high that high pressure centered over the Ohio Valley at the start of the period will continue to keep us dry until Thursday or Friday. Confidence is also high that we will be well into the warming trend at the start of the period with highs increasing daily until the 80s return around Wednesday. The 80s will stick around until the weekend when highs should start to gradually drop down closer to normal for this time of year.

Confidence remains lower for how our rain chances will evolve late next week into the weekend. Model guidance continues the trend of slightly slowing down the onset of PoPs to Friday evening and peaking around the Sunday to Monday timeframe. Ensemble probabilties for seeing >.1" of rain Saturday through Monday remain on the higher end at 60-75%. The largest uncertainties at this time remains to be how much rain we could see, where, and when.

AVIATION

(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Monday night) ISSUED AT 140 AM EDT MON SEP 28 2026

Valley fog will be found through the first part of the morning, bringing localized IFR or worse conditions, especially in southeast Kentucky. However, the TAF sites are unlikely to be affected. Otherwise, VFR conditions and light winds will hold through the period.
