.SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Issued at 311 AM EDT Tue Sep 30 2025
An upper level ridge will slowly translate eastward over the Midwest
and western Great Lakes through tonight. NE flow aloft will sling
thin high clouds over the Bluegrass Region late this morning into
the afternoon. We`ll also see some SCT afternoon cumulus develop
once again. Otherwise, mainly clear skies will be common through
this forecast period.
At the surface, strong high pressure will continue to slide east
over Ontario. Its influence will stretch through the Great Lakes and
Ohio Valley. It will be another dry day with warm afternoon temps
and low humidity. NE winds will increase to 10-15 mph this afternoon
during peak mixing. Temperatures should max out just a degree or two
cooler than yesterday: a lot of mid 80s with the warmest spots in
the upper 80s.
Winds will quickly diminish with sunset this evening, with mainly
clear skies overnight and lows in the mid 50s to near 60.

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Issued at 311 AM EDT Tue Sep 30 2025
Dry weather is likely to persist through this weekend. In general,
upper level ridging lingers over the region during this time frame.
Strong sfc high pressure starting over Quebec on Wednesday builds
south over the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic with time.
By Sunday into Monday, we should start seeing better southerly
moisture transport into the region upstream of strong ridging over
the East Coast. Early next week, model guidance suggests a cold
front will attempt to push southeast through the Midwest. The influx
of moisture ahead of this frontal boundary could bring some rain
showers back to the region Monday into Tuesday. However, confidence
in the forecast details (timing, amounts) is low. Highs in the low
to mid 80s will be common, with lows in the 50s.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z WEDNESDAY/...

VFR conditions continue. Mainly clear skies with very light NE to
calm winds early this morning. East-central KY, including LEX/RGA,
will see more SCT thin cirrus from late Tue morning into the
afternoon hours. We`ll also see some SCT afternoon cu around 6 kft.
NE winds will again increase to near 10 kt this afternoon, with
brief gusts to 15+ kts possible during peak afternoon mixing.
