REGIONAL WEATHER SUMMARY
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
354 PM EST TUE NOV 24 2009
THICK CLOUD COVER FROM THE OVERNIGHT HOURS HELPED TO KEEP EASTERN
KENTUCKY FAIRLY MILD THROUGH SUNRISE THIS MORNING. 7 AM TEMPERATURES
WERE GENERALLY IN THE MID TO UPPER 40S ACROSS THE BOARD...A
REFLECTION OF THE OVERNIGHT LOWS. CLOUDS CONTINUED TO BLANKET THE
REGION THROUGH THE MORNING WHILE THE LAST OF THE RAIN DISSIPATED AS
IT HEADED INTO WEST VIRGINIA. AROUND NOON TEMPERATURES HAD WARMED
THEIR WAY INTO THE 50S AND WHILE WE WERE STILL UNDER OVERCAST
SKIES...SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATED SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS
DEVELOPING OVER WESTERN AND CENTRAL KENTUCKY. BY 3 PM...TEMPERATURES
THROUGHOUT EASTERN KENTUCKY WERE JUST ABOUT MAXED OUT IN THE MID TO
UPPER 50S UNDER A BROKEN LAYER OF MID LEVEL CLOUDS WHICH WERE
CONTINUING TO DIMINISH.
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WHICH HAS ALREADY BEEN SPAWNING THUNDERSTORMS
OVER SOUTHERN ILLINOIS THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE LIFTING INTO THE GREAT
LAKES REGION TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING CLOUDS
BACK INTO THE REGION ALONG WITH A FEW SCATTERED SHOWERS ON WEDNESDAY
AND LIMIT THE AFTERNOON HIGHS TO THE 50S...BUT WILL ALSO KEEP THE
OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE 40S. A COLD FRONT WILL THEN PASS THROUGH THE
AREA THANKSGIVING MORNING WITH A MUCH COOLER AIR MASS BEHIND IT TO
END THE WORK WEEK. IN FACT...THERE WILL BE A CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS
MIXING IN WITH RAIN SHOWERS THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. NO
ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED EXCEPT FOR MAYBE A DUSTING OVER THE
HIGHEST RIDGES ALONG THE VIRGINIA BORDER.
ON THIS DATE IN WEATHER HISTORY... A STRONG COLD FRONT BROUGHT
DAMAGING WINDS AND A DRAMATIC TEMPERATURE DROP TO THE AREA IN 2003.
TREES WERE REPORTED DOWN IN MANY COUNTIES FROM WINDS GUSTING AS HIGH
AS 60 MPH AS THE FRONT BARRELED THROUGH JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT.
TEMPERATURES ACROSS EASTERN KENTUCKY WERE IN THE 60S AROUND MIDNIGHT
JUST IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONT... BUT FELL INTO THE 30S BY DAWN BEHIND
THE FRONT AND A FEW SNOW SHOWERS WERE OBSERVED OFF AND ON THROUGHOUT
THE DAY.
