Fri Oct 04 05:21:37 UTC 2024: ## Kentucky Forecast: Weekend Warmth Gives Way to Chilly Start to October
**Lexington, KY (October 4, 2024)** – Enjoy a pleasant and mostly dry weekend, with temperatures hovering in the upper 70s to low 80s, before a cold front arrives Sunday night, bringing a chill to the region.
“The weekend has a lot of mid-September in it,” says Chris Bailey, local meteorologist, “but a crisp cold front changes that in a hurry by Sunday night and Monday.”
The front will usher in a broken band of showers and storms across eastern Kentucky, with temperatures dropping below normal from Monday through the following weekend.
While the front brings a chilly start to October, there’s a developing system in the Gulf of Mexico that could bring some potential for rain in the coming weeks.
“That should eventually develop into a named storm in the coming days and it’s likely to hang around the eastern Gulf for a while,” says Bailey, adding that he wouldn’t be surprised to see multiple systems form from this disturbance.
While the local forecast shows less than a 10% chance for rain over the next ten days, the incoming cold front and developing tropical system could bring a change to that.
“Check out the temperature departures from the EURO,” Bailey advises, “That model even gives us an outside shot at some patchy frost later next week.”
Be sure to check the latest forecasts and stay tuned for any updates.
