Our weather is absolutely delightful, and it's not changing anytime soon. Our highs for the next several days will be at and slightly above normal generally in the low and mid 70s into next week. Rain chances are also basically non existent well into next week. Enjoy! #kywx

Our 'Fun Fact To Know And Tell' today is about frost. Per the National Weather Service their statistical average first frost day is October 19. We had a frost Sunday (36° or colder) so that was a day early. Actual data says the mean date is October 15th, so a tad late. #kywx

This remarkable, but not unprecedented, heat wave is ending. Today topped out in the low 80s in Lexington, with upper 80s in the south. Today's high was 6 degrees off the record from 1897. That heat wave nearly 130 years ago still carries 3 record highs that still stand. #kywx

A strong thunderstorm is Bourbon County moving into Paris. Heavy rain and lightning are occurring and wind gusts to 40 mph are possible. Elsewhere, strong storms are also in Bath, Fleming and moving into Rowan County. Overall, the severe threat is low, but we'll keep track #kywx

The Love American Style fireworks background means history was made again today. About 1:30 the Blue Grass Airport thermometer hit 87° breaking the old record of 86 from 1897. For perspective, McKinley was President of the US. We also had a record warm low this morning. #kywx

History is being made this afternoon as the thermometer at the Blue Grass Airport touched 89°. This breaks the old record of 88 from 1935. We still may go up a degree or so and if we hit 90 it will be the latest 90 degree day we've recorded in Lexington. #kywx

Buckle your seatbelts boys and girls and get set for a wild weather ride. The next couple of days will have near record heat in the mid 80s. These are both very old records, so it'll be something if we get there. We'll follow that with frost potential this weekend! #kywx

The big weather story is Hurricane Isaias. It'll have significant impacts along the Gulf Coast, but will still be impactful here. Arrival time has been trending earlier and we may see rain by Saturday afternoon. Gusty winds and heavy downpours are possible with the squalls #kywx

We've had, and will have, perfect weather this week. Of course for Saturday and the big UK game the first rain chances in a week show up with the remnants of Isaias. It's a race to see if the game can finish (11ish) or will the rain arrive before it does. It'll be close #kywx

We are likely looking at the first hurricane of the year in the Atlantic Basin as proto-Isaias is gaining strength in the western Gulf. There's a lot of very warm water in front of it as it heads north toward the central Gulf Coast late this week with strengthening likely. #kywx

Historically, this is our quietest time of the year weather wise, and this week will certainly live up to that billing. We'll enjoy lots of sun through the week with a transition to late summer temperature regime with highs in the 70s tomorrow and 80s the rest of the week. #kywx

Summer heat will be with us as we begin October with highs approaching 90. It'll be a top 3 hot starts to the month. This as we wrap up one of the warmest Septembers placing 3rd. Cooler weather begins as rain chances arrive on Friday and last into the weekend. #kywx

We're looking at a few more absolutely wonderful days. We've got a warming trend running until the end of the week with summertime heat getting in here before the week is done as we head to the upper 80s and push 90. Rain will be arriving Friday and Saturday. #kywx

The first weekend of fall is going to be an absolute dandy. We'll enjoy cool and crisp mornings, in the 40s followed by mainly sunny and mild afternoons. Our highs will top out in the low and mid 70s Saturday and Sunday. #kywx

After what has been a very cool, like October cool, few days, we'll begin to moderate as we head into Friday and especially the weekend. With a partly to mostly sunny sky, high temperatures finally get back above 70, topping out in the low and mid 70s. #kywx
