REGIONAL WEATHER SUMMARY
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
300 PM EDT TUE OCT 15 2013
THERE WERE PLENTY OF CLOUDS ACROSS MUCH OF THE COAL FIELDS THIS
MORNING...WITH A FEW PLACES REPORTING PATCHY FOG AS WELL. MILD
CONDITIONS WERE ALSO PRESENT WITH 7 AM TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 50S
AND LOWER 60S. NORMAL LOWS FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR ARE IN THE MIDDLE
AND UPPER 40S. BY NOONTIME...READINGS WERE IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER
70S UNDER PARTLY SUNNY SKIES.
THIS AFTERNOON SAW MOSTLY CLOUDY TO CLOUDY SKIES BLANKETING EASTERN
KENTUCKY. PLEASANT CONDITIONS WERE ALSO ON TAP...WITH MID AFTERNOON
TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 70S. TYPICAL HIGHS FOR THE MIDDLE
OF OCTOBER ARE AROUND 70 DEGREES.
THERE IS A CHANCE FOR A STRAY SHOWER OR TWO THIS EVENING...BUT A
BETTER CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION WILL ARRIVE TOMORROW AS A COLD FRONT
MOVES INTO THE AREA. AFTER LOWS AROUND 60 TONIGHT...HIGHS WILL BE IN
THE UPPER 60S TO AROUND 70 DEGREES WEDNESDAY. IN FACT..COOLER AIR
WILL SEEP INTO THE REGION LATE WEDNESDAY...WITH THE MERCURY DIPPING
INTO THE 40S FOR LOWS. THURSDAY WILL SEE TEMPERATURES STRUGGLE TO
REACH 60 DEGREES.
ON THIS DATE IN WEATHER HISTORY...IN 1958...EAST KENTUCKY EXPERIENCED
A VERY WARM DAY ACCORDING TO RECORDS AT THE LONDON CORBIN AIRPORT.
THE TEMPERATURE PEAKED AT 89 DEGREES THERE AND ESTABLISHED A RECORD
HIGH FOR THE DATE AND ALSO FOR THE MONTH. FOR THE RECORD HIGH FOR ALL
OF OCTOBER TO FALL MIDWAY THROUGH THE MONTH DEMONSTRATES HOW OUT OF
THE ORDINARY THIS WARMTH WAS. 89 DEGREES STOOD AS THE RECORD HIGH FOR
THE MONTH OF OCTOBER AT LONDON FOR NEARLY 50 YEARS UNTIL THE HEAT
WAVE OF 2007 SHATTERED THAT NUMBER BY PUSHING TEMPERATURES INTO THE
90S ON THREE CONSECUTIVE DAYS FROM THE 6TH THROUGH THE 8TH. THE NEW
RECORD HIGH FOR OCTOBER AT LONDON WAS ESTABLISHED ON THE 7TH OF THAT
YEAR WHEN THE MERCURY REACHED 92 DEGREES. CLIMATE RECORDS AT THE
LONDON CORBIN AIRPORT DATE BACK TO 1954.
