334 AM EDT THU OCT 8 2026
DISCUSSION
A COLD FRONT IS PUSHING THROUGH THE REGION THIS MORNING. A SHARP
WIND SHIFT TO THE NORTH AND A FEW MID-LEVEL CLOUDS ACCOMPANY THIS
FRONT. THE FRONT WILL EXIT SOUTHERN KENTUCKY BY SUNRISE AND BRING
ANY CLOUDS WITH IT. THROUGH THE DAY TODAY, WE WILL SEE TRANSPORT
WINDS START OUT OF THE NORTHEAST AND THEN SHIFT FROM THE NORTH IN
THE AFTERNOON. AMPLE MIXING UP TO 5000-5500FT WILL ALLOW FOR DRIER
AIR TO MIX DOWN TO THE SURFACE. AFTERNOON RH WILL RANGE FROM
20-30%, WITH MINIMUMS MOSTLY BELOW 25%. GIVEN GOOD MIXING, CLEAR
SKIES, AND TRANSPORT WINDS AROUND 7-10KTS, WE WILL SEE FAIR
DISPERSION TODAY.
SIMILAR CLEAR AND DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR FRIDAY.
AFTERNOON RH WILL BE IN THE 22-30% RANGE. TRANSPORT WINDS WILL BE
OUT OF THE SOUTHEAST AROUND 8-10KTS.
