The first couple of days this work week were uneventful and even nice, but last night into today it's been a different story with steady and soaking rains. Totals have been between half and one inch for most with Lexington almost receiving one inch and we have more to go tonight as the low pressure comes through. The wind will pick up with the rain so these will be soaking and gusty showers. Wind gusts may be up to 35 mph overnight and into tomorrow. A few rumbles of thunder are also a possibility, but the severe action remains much farther south of Kentucky.
Post cold front, temperatures will remain in the low 50s for Thursday, but we'll get some sunshine out of the mix. After tomorrow, big changes are coming. The high temperature trend will fall from the 50s to the 30s by Friday and that's only the start of the cold. A large area of Arctic air is setting up near Alaska now and will be falling south into the lower 50s very soon. Instead of highs in the 40s (normal), several weather models suggest we will experience highs in the teens to 20s and lows in the single digits as we move closer to Christmas.
