Good Monday, everyone. It’s a true taste of fall weather taking hold of the Commonwealth this week. This pattern delivers well below normal temperatures and may even bring some record lows to much of our region.
This is a setup that’s been well advertised for a while now. The pattern is actually putting the coldest temperatures in relation from normal across the entire Northern Hemisphere right on top of Kentucky and surrounding areas…
That’s pretty wild to see in the month of August.
Overnight lows this week are generally in the upper 40s to low 50s and that’s exactly where record lows are for many locations. For Lexington, the best chance to tie or break a record low comes Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Here’s a look at the numbers we have to hit:
August 26th: 48 1945
August 27th: 49 1968
August 28th: 50 1986
Fun Fact: July and August are the only two months that have never recorded temps in the 30s in Kentucky…
