Frost this morning, CVG went down to 31 so the coldest morning of the season so far.

[WeatherGuesser]

I always try to make it to December before turning the heat on. Despite an overly warm October, with 23 outside and 53 inside this morning, I figured it was time though.

[WeatherGuesser]

We're doing the November swing that makes me nervous. low 20s recent mornings and now forecast to be mid to upper 70s by late week, then back down again, T-storms forecast for Friday, but so far no mention of severe on the SPC site.

[WeatherGuesser]

Not looking forward to the impending cooldown.

Hopefully it will be short-lived.

Not much traffic here, but if anybody wants to share thoughts on January ....

[tolakram]

No real idea on January except I would not be surprised if it ended up being fairly mild. Paducah had a blurb, this morning I think, that if the temps fall 50 degrees withing a certain time it will be a new record. Good luck with that wild ride!

[WeatherGuesser]

I was looking at that earlier:

"We may see a rare, but not unprecedented, temperature drop of 50 degrees during this time frame. The largest temperature drop from one calendar day to the next in Paducah was November 23-24, 1950, falling from 57 to -2, a difference of 59 degrees!"

830AM, 64 degrees

1030AM, 68 Degrees

Opened a few windows to draw some of this warm air inside. Just need to watch for the changeover so I can get them closed before the cold air arrives.

[tolakram]

I'm jealous, I don't think we will get that warm here.

[WeatherGuesser]

1230PM, 71 degrees

[WeatherGuesser]

I think it topped out at 72 a little while ago. Official is now showing 70, so we'll see what happens from here.

Heard a couple of thunder noises too.

[WeatherGuesser]

Enhanced Risk kicked in with a few scattered TORs already issued.
