Kentucky Climate Summary
By: Matthew Dixon, UK Agricultural Weather Center - 10/26/2021
Weatherwise, Kentucky couldn't have asked for a much better start to the workweek. Outside of a cool Monday morning (upper 30s to low 40s), highs reached into the upper 60s to mid-70s each day under mostly sunny skies. A cold front crossing through the region on Thursday generated some showers across Southeastern Kentucky, but otherwise, most of the state remained dry through Friday. Additional rain showers with some storms arrived over the weekend, but not everyone saw this activity. Overall, the state only 0.16 inches for the week, which marks a second straight week of below normal rainfall. Rain that fell Sunday night will be incorporated into the data on next week's report.
Temperatures for the period averaged 58 degrees across the state which was 2 degrees warmer than normal and 8 degrees cooler than the previous period. High temperatures averaged from 71 in the West to 69 in the East. Departure from normal high temperatures ranged from 1 degree warmer than normal in the West to near normal in the East. Low temperatures averaged from 47 degrees in the West to 46 degrees in the East. Departure from normal low temperature ranged from 1 degree warmer than normal in the West to 5 degrees warmer than normal in the East. The extreme high temperature for the period was 83 degrees at PADUCAH ASOS and the extreme low was 33 degrees at PAINTSVILLE 4W.
Precipitation (liq. equ.) for the period totaled 0.16 inches statewide which was 0.54 inches below normal and 23% of normal. Precipitation totals by climate division, West 0.13 inches, Central 0.09 inches, Bluegrass 0.30 inches and East 0.12 inches, which was 0.65, 0.62, 0.35 and 0.55 inches below normal.
