Issued at 153 AM CST Fri Nov 14 2025 High pressure centered to our east and southeast will produce south to southwest winds today into Saturday. This will result in a significant warm up, with highs today and Saturday in the 70s, and lows tonight only dropping into the middle to upper 50s. On Saturday, a cold front will be approaching the PAH forecast area from the northwest. Ahead of the front, southwest winds will increase to 10 to 20 mph with gusts to around 25 mph. Models take the front through our region Saturday evening, and a few showers will be possible mainly in the Pennyrile region. Behind the front, temperatures will cool back down closer to seasonable readings for Sunday into Monday. Models show a surface low over the Central Plains lifting a warm front into the middle Mississippi and lower Ohio valleys Monday. As the low moves along the boundary, numerous showers and some thunderstorms are expected Monday night into early Tuesday. Current forecast rainfall amounts during this period are generally in the quarter to three-quarters of an inch range. The frontal boundary will remain the focus of chances of showers Tuesday late Tuesday into Wednesday. By mid to late week, a stronger area of surface low pressure and upper level low will slowly approach our region, bringing widespread showers with significant rainfall. Exact timing and locations of the heaviest rainfall is still in question, but latest forecast totals show at least 3 inches or more possible in the the mid to late week time frame. Timing and amounts will continue to be fine tuned over the next several days. Temperatures Tuesday through Thursday will be above normal, especially overnight lows. && .AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SATURDAY/...
