Good afternoon, we have seen the return of the colder air today as a well defined upper-level trough has centered itself over the eastern U.S.  Surface high pressure will center itself over the Ohio Valley later today and this will keep our weather calm through tomorrow.

Expect partly cloudy skies today and overnight with high temperatures in the upper 40s and lows in the upper 20s.

Wednesday 11/26– Increasing Clouds; Iso’d PM Showers; Chilly – High 45° / Wed Night –  Cloudy; Rain/Snow Showers – Low 31º

Our weather will become more interesting tomorrow as a clipper system impacts our area.  Clipper systems are defined as areas of low pressure that originate to our northwest in Canada and move southeast into the U.S. An area of low pressure currently moving southeast into South Dakota will drop into the Ohio Valley a chance of rain and snow to the area.

Model guidance is in pretty good agreement that this low will track to our north, meaning southern Kentucky will be too warm for any accumulating snowfall. We will see an increase in cloud cover during the afternoon as this low moves closer. High temperatures will approach the middle 40s before some isolated showers move into the area during the evening hours.

Light precipitation will continue overnight as the low swings east. Rain showers are expected to changeover to snow after midnight, but most of the moisture will have moved off to the east by that point. Snow showers will stick around until daybreak on Thursday. At this point, it looks like we will be too warm for a decent snowfall, but it is possible we could see a dusting by Thanksgiving morning.

Thanksgiving 11/27 – Mostly Cloudy – High 40°  / Thur Night – Partly Cloudy – Low 24°

The Turkey Day forecast is looking good at this point as any precipitation will move out quickly and skies will become mostly cloudy by Thursday afternoon. It will be chilly with highs only reaching the 40º mark. Lows on Thursday night will be in the lower to middle 20s.
