Looks like rain will hold off this weekend. Next chance would be the middle of next week. The Leaves are putting on a show around the Valley. Fantastic colors in spite of many speculations no vibrant color this year.

33 and heavy frost to the Valley floor this morning. I'm seeing some possibly big changes ahead as we enter November. It's extremely uncommon to see the models pointing to impressive Stratospheric Warming event with an elongated Polar Vortex covering the Eastern 2/3 of Canada into the United States in early November. With the usual lag time of a couple of weeks, perhaps some interesting weather ahead in time for Thanksgiving. We will see if the models are correct in the next week or so.

34° with heavy frost this morning in the Valley. It's going to be a beautiful day for the Bluegrass Festival!

34 and frost for the 6th day.

35° and frost this morning.

Light frost this morning and 36°.

Another frosty morning in the Valley.

31 here this morning with heavy frost.

Frost to the ground and 31 this morning.

40 for the low this morning. Gusty wind is blowing bringing the wind chills down into the low 30's.

It will be a great day for College Football Dave. That's for sure!

Freeze Watch issued for the Mountain Counties.

Tomorrow is looking like a dreary windy cold Fall day with temperatures stuck in mid 40's.

It's that time of year!

Definitely a bit of inversion. My low was 49 this morning. The hay field below the house got cut yesterday afternoon for the final time this year. Frost and possibly freezing temperatures are forecast for Saturday and Sunday mornings here in the Valley.
