Imagine perfect fall weather locally, but the tropics remain active

WLKY Chief Meteorologist Jay Cardosi has a great fall forecast for the Ohio Valley, along with the latest information on Hurricane Ian and its path.

STREET. NOW YOU ARE WLKY. WHY WEATHER WITH CHIEF METEOROLOGIST JAY CARDOSI. OKAY. LET’S TAKE A BREAK FROM ALL THE BAD WEATHER WE HAVE REPORTED THE PAST COUPLE, THREE DAYS AND TALK ABOUT DROP OIL. AS YOU KNOW, THERE IS NOT LOTS OF COLOR ON THESE TREES YET, BUT IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. LET’S GET AN UPDATE ON WHERE COLOR NEEDS TO SPARK AROUND. HEY, THE APPLE COLUMN IS FACING NORTHEAST. THE NORTH LEVEL OF THE COUNTRY. ALSO THE ROCKIES ARE STARTING TO REGISTER WITH QUITE DECENT COLOR ON THE TREES AND, YOU KNOW, IT’S JUST A QUESTION OF TIME WHILE IN OCTOBER, COMING CLOSE TO HALLOWEEN, THIS COLOR WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE STEADY PROGRESS . SOUTH ACROSS THE LOWER 48, ACTUALLY. IN OUR AREA WE ARE EXPECTING A PEAK OF COLOR THROUGH HALLOWEEN IN THE FIRST WEEK OF NOVEMBER SOMETHING TO EXPECT AND IT SHOULD BE A PRETTY DECENT SEASON GIVEN THE WEATHER CONDITIONS WE HAVE HAD HERE IN THE OHIO VALLEY. AT THIS TIME, THESE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE IMPECCABLE, LOTS OF SUN IDEAL. VERY PLEASANT TEMPERATURES. 71 AND 47. WE STILL SEE WELL BELOW THERE OF 77 AND 57. BUT NEVERTHELESS, THE AMOUNT OF A BEAUTIFUL AUTUMN DAY TODAY. RIGHT NOW HUMIDITY EVEN 70 DEGREES 41% AND A NORTHEAST BREEZE HERE 13 MPH. WHAT ABOUT THE NUMBERS. FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. FROM WEST TO EAST IN THE OBSERVATION AREA. LOW ALREADY APPEARS. THE CAPITAL TOWARDS SHELBYVILLE. YOU ARRIVE AT 70 IN DOWNTOWN LOUISVILLE. THIS NUMBER EQUAL TO MUNFORD TOWN. OTHERWISE, EVERYBODY AND THE UPPER 60S ARE PLEASANTLY COOL. AND AS WE GET DEEP INTO THE EVENING, IT’S GOING TO BE EVEN COOLER FOR JOG OUTSIDE, WALK AROUND THE BLOCK. OF COURSE. YOU HAVE THIS JACKET OR SWEATSHIRT READY TO GO. A FEW CLOUDS TODAY. THESE ARE MANY DISAPPEARED. HIGH PRESSURE IN CONTROL WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE OUR WEATHER TOMORROW. THE REST OF THE WEEKEND LIKE. GOOD. HERE IT IS. HURRICANE IAN. YES, IT IS INTENSIFYING. FROM A TROPICAL STORM TO A HURRICANE. THIS IS A CATEGORY 1 STORM NOT EXPECTING A BOMB OR SOMETHING, BUT IT WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS. MORE ESPECIALLY FOR CAROLINA, SOUTH CAROLINA ESPECIALLY AS IT IS EXPECTED TO MAKE LANDFALL TOMORROW AFTERNOON. IMMEDIATELY NORTH OF CHARLESTON AND RIGHT OF THE CENTER OF CIRCULATION WE COULD HAVE A QUITE DECENT STORM SURGE. AND IT COULD BE NEAR MYRTLE BEACH. THEREFORE WE WILL KEEP YOU INFORMED OF THIS SYSTEM AS IT CONTINUES TO TRACK TOWARDS AND FINALLY DISSIPATES. IT’S IN VIRGINIA. THE RAIN SHIELD COULD WORK IN FAR EAST KENTUCKY BUT A LOT OF RAIN SEEMS TO STAY FAR AWAY FROM US. COULD BE A BRIEF DOWNPOUR IN OUR FAR EAST COMMUNITIES ON SATURDAY, LATE IN THE DAY OR SATURDAY EVENING. BUT PEOPLE, IT SEEMS TO BE JUST ABOUT THIS. HEY, TOMORROW MORNING. LOW AND MEDIUM FOR THOSE. TOMORROW WILL BE ANOTHER GOOD DAY, A BRIGHT SUN IS EXPECTED OVER THE REGION. HIGH TEMPERATURES, GORGEOUS A MIX OF LOW AND MID 70S. AND OVERALL THIS GOOD WEATHER HOLDS THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND FOR THE ST JAMES SHOW. 70 FOR TOMORROW, LOW TO MID 70, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WITH A MIX OF CLOUDS. SUN FOR YOUR WEEKEND. OKAY. HERE ARE THE DETAILS. CLEAR SKIES, RAPID CHILLING FROM THE 60S TO BACK TO THE 50S THIS THURSDAY EVENING. WE WAKE UP IN THE COOL QUARANTINES IN THE MORNING, TRANSITIONING TO THE LOW AND MIDDLE HIGHS MAKING A BEAUTIFUL AREA FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL MATCHES TOMORROW NIGHT SHOULD BE AWESOME. HERE IS YOUR WEEKEND WEATHER, VICKI. THERE MAY BE SHOWERS LATE IN THE DAY SATURDAY, SATURDAY EVENING IN OUR EASTERN COMMUNITIES. I THINK THE METRO IS DRY THIS WEEKEND AND IT WILL BE DRY EVERYWHERE AS WE GO THROUGH SUNDAY AND MOST OF NEXT WEEK WITH NICE TEMPERATURES. I THINK SOMEONE IS COMPLAINTING OVERNIGHT RAIN NEEDS IT. OH, WE DO. IT IS VERY DRY THERE. AND THIS IS THE TIME OF YEAR WE USUALLY DON’T GET A LOT OF RAIN UNLESS A TROPICAL SYSTEM IS PASSING BY. AND IT WILL NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME WE GET RID OF THIS RAGGRASS THAT AFFECTS ME. IT’S QUITE HIGH AND RISING. SO W
