Mostly sunny skies prevail across the Coalfields and adjacent
regions at mid-afternoon. Temperatures range from the lower to
mid-70s, and are warmest on the deep valley floors and near Lake
Cumberland. The only interruption to the sunshine is a few mid-
level clouds drifting into the I-64 corridor from the north and
a few high clouds streaming in from the southeast. The latest
analysis reveals that the clouds drifting in from the north are
associated with a decaying cold front, which in turn is associated
with a closed, ~562 dam low over the Niagara Frontier region.
Meanwhile, the upper-level moisture (cirrus streaming into eastern
KY) is associated with an ~573 dam low near Savannah, GA, and its
sub-1000 mb surface reflection offshore. Meanwhile, upper-level
ridging holds firm to the west, with a 500 hPa ridge axis
extending from Texas northeastward through the Upper Midwest and
into northern Ontario.
Through the short-term, the upper lows will circulate nearly in
place and gradually fill, while the upper-level ridge shifts
further east. This will send the decaying cold front across the
JKL CWA tonight, followed by subsequent overall weak height rises
and surface high pressure ridging over eastern Kentucky. There
will be no threat of rain with this boundary, as the region will
remain under a dry northerly flow (PWATs
