Mild November weather is back across London and much of central & eastern Kentucky, but it won’t stay completely quiet. 🌤️

We’ll ride a warming trend into the weekend with highs climbing into the upper 60s near 70° before a cooler shot of air arrives late weekend into early next week. Expect a mix of sunshine and increasing clouds, with the coolest mornings in the low 30s early on, then milder nights in the 40s and 50s later in the period.

Our next decent rain chance moves in around Tuesday, bringing periods of rain and more clouds for parts of the region. After that, temperatures rebound again with another stretch of pleasant, above-average highs in the 60s to near 70° to close out the 10-day outlook.

In this video, I’ll break down:

Day-by-day highs & lows for southern and eastern Kentucky.
When to expect the next round of rain
How long the mild pattern can hang on
What this means for your weekend plans, commutes, and any outdoor events

If you live anywhere across Laurel County, the Cumberland Valley, or the rest of central and eastern Kentucky, this forecast is for you.

Waiting and seeing if we get a big show like last night .

There remains some uncertainty in tonight's space weather forecast, but if the solar parameters become favorable, mostly clear skies would lead to great viewing conditions here in Eastern Kentucky. We recommend monitoring the Space Weather Prediction Center for the latest updates about tonight's solar storm, but for now, sit tight and prepare to look north!

A heart felt thank you to all of our veterans on this Veterans Day. My papaw served in the Navy during WW2. This a little bit of his story. He was blessed to make it home, but so many were not. We pause to honor and remember them today.

We are starting out cold and chilly this morning. Highs today will only top out in the lower 40s but with gusty winds it will feel colder. The next few days will still be below average but will be more of a typical fall chill.

We warm up for the weekend before a big storm system looks to dive into the Ohio Valley next week. The pattern looks loaded and I’ll have more info on that later.

The snow is wrapping up across Eastern Kentucky, but we do need to keep an eye on the Great Lakes tonight to see if any more snow plumes roll down into the Ohio Valley.

Regardless, watch out for slick spots in the morning on those bridges and overpasses. Even though most spots didn't see a ton of snow, there is a lot of moisture from what melted today and that could cause patchy black ice to develop overnight. At least we got a big warm up heading our way after this system moves out.

The continue to fly tonight in . Here's a quick look at how much more we could see tonight.
