Kentucky Weather Forecast: Sunshine Returns Tuesday Before Breezy Midweek Warm-Up
LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY — After a chilly start to the week, Kentucky will enjoy a seasonable and sunny Tuesday, with comfortable temperatures expected across much of the state before another cold front and breezy winds arrive midweek.
According to FOX 56 Weather Authority, Monday night will bring patchy fog and lows in the mid-30s, making for a cool start Tuesday morning. Sunshine will quickly return through the afternoon, allowing temperatures to rebound into the low 60s — right on target for early November averages.
Breezy Midweek Warm-Up Before Cooldown
By Wednesday, southwest winds will increase, producing gusts over 30 mph in some areas. That will help push highs into the upper 60s to near 70 degrees, offering one of the warmest afternoons of the week.
However, a weak cold front will move through Thursday, bringing a slight cooldown but keeping skies mostly dry and bright. Daytime highs are expected to hover in the upper 50s to low 60s, with plenty of sunshine.
Rain Chances Return Friday Night
Another weather system is forecast to move through Friday evening, bringing a chance for scattered rain showers and isolated thunder. Meteorologists say a few stronger storms could develop, potentially producing small hail in localized areas.
While widespread severe weather is not expected, residents should keep an eye on updated forecasts as conditions evolve heading into the weekend.
Weekend Brings Coldest Air Since Last Winter
Forecasters warn that much colder air is expected to arrive by Sunday into early next week, marking a sharp temperature drop across the region.
As a strong cold front sweeps through the eastern U.S., Kentucky could see light rain transitioning to a few snow showers late Sunday night into Monday morning. Highs will struggle to reach 40°F, while overnight lows could dip into the 20s — the coldest temperatures since last winter.
Meteorologists say this pattern marks the start of a more winter-like setup heading into mid-November.
Kentucky residents are encouraged to prepare for quick temperature swings this week — from sunshine and warmth to frosty mornings and a possible taste of snow by next Monday. For the latest Kentucky weather forecasts, alerts, and seasonal outlooks, stay tuned to ChicagoMusicGuide.com.
