Drought and Frost Update

No maps for this post. But, moderate drought has resurfaced, this time over western Kentucky. Paducah has only seen 2.99" since August 1. Louisville is no longer in any drought or pre-drought condition. I have seen 2.67" this month while Louisville International has had 1.41".

Both Euro and NAM are in agreement about Sunday morning temperatures so far. Louisville heat island may keep temperatures from bottoming out below 37 degrees. However, locations outside the airport will drop off quickly. At my house, I am predicting 31-32 degrees.

Locations in the bluegrass could see a damaging freeze even. Some typical cold areas like Cynthiana may tumble into the mid and upper 20's. Frankfort 31 degrees. Don't be surprised if Lexington Mesonet site is at least 2-3 degrees warmer than the bluegrass airport like say 34 or 35 degrees. It's time to calibrate something on that equipment.
