Coldest Air of the Season So Far Pays a Visit The further we get into November, the longer and more frequent Mr. Jack Frost’s visits to the WABBLES community become. And it looks like he’s headed this way for this weekend. The further we get into November, the longer and more frequent Mr. Jack Frost’s visits to the WABBLES community become. And it looks like he’s headed this way for this weekend. The low pressure that brought us the rain earlier this week continues to strengthen as it heads up the northeast coast. As it does, on the backside, much colder Canadian air is quickly filtering in, providing us with some of the coldest highs we’ve seen since early Spring! Last night’s clouds continue to be socked in as northwest winds continue to pump in cooler air for the day today. We'll continue to see drizzle and rain showers, leading to highs well below average into the afternoon. Highs look to only make it into the upper 40s. Playoff football is in full swing and it looks chilly as the teams take the field! With clouds still in place, the chill is real after the sun goes down. We’ll be falling through the 30s through the games, with clear skies and light winds having us down into the upper 20s! Some of our usual cooler spots could dip down into the middle 20s! That’s ahead of yet another cool but increasingly sunny day on Saturday. Despite the abundant sunshine, highs remain nearly ten degrees below normal, only popping up to near 50º at best. That leads into another clear and cold night with lows back into the middle and upper 20s. However, with the growing season over, I wouldn’t expect to see anymore frost or freeze alerts. A few more clouds may try to sneak back in Sunday, but highs should remain below normal in the afternoon. Peaking only in the lower 50s. Great looking, chilly feeling! Partly cloudy skies overnight will still have us down into the middle to upper 20s for overnight lows. As a matter of fact, that’s a trend that keeps on going right on through much of next week. Sunshine looks plentiful for the first half of the week with high pressure in place. As high pressure meanders eastward, we’ll see highs slowly rise from the lower to middle 50s Monday and Tuesday to flirting with 60º by Wednesday. Lows at night stay seasonably chilly, into the upper 20s. Enjoy this break while it lasts, though, because models continue to indicate some level of travel snarling storm system taking shape as we head toward the weekend before Thanksgiving and into Thanksgiving week itself. We’ll keep eyes on it!

11/12 WABBLES winter is peeking its head in the door after a busy night of strong to severe storms. The cold is settling in, and with this cold and excess moisture, you may even see a different type of frozen precipitation closing out the week. When you walk out the door this morning, it will feel just like every other day: sunny with a bit of a chill in the air. Don’t be fooled. The gusty northwesterly wind is locking in, and while our highs will be in the mid-50s, that wind and the chance of scattered gusty showers will make it feel a little chilly out there. This afternoon and evening, moisture wrapping along the back side of the cold front will move in, bringing gusty showers into our region. Most of it looks to be rain, but we can’t rule out some ice pellets, especially as we move into Friday morning. If you thought today was looking cold, tomorrow our high will be in the mid-40s, but most of us won’t get to experience that. This is because we reintroduce our favorite variable, the wind chill. Wind chill values don’t look like they'll escape the 40s tomorrow. If you’re heading to the homecoming parade in Bowling Green tomorrow, make sure you bring your layers. Saturday, we’ll see some relief from the sunshine, but our wind chills still don’t look to break 50 degrees. That’s only the daytime highs; our morning lows through the weekend will be all the way down into the upper 20s. Make sure you have those layers to fight the wind and those gusty showers we’ll have going on today.
