.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 158 AM CST Tue Dec 9 2025

A return of southerly winds will bring much warmer conditions today
into Wednesday. It will become breezy today as the pressure
gradient tightens across our region between high pressure to
our southeast and low pressure over the upper Mississippi
Valley. South winds will increase to 12-25 mph with gusts of 25
mph to around 30 mph by this afternoon, persisting into tonight
and shifting to the west and northwest Wednesday with the
passage of a cold front. Small chances of light rain will
accompany the cold front late tonight into Wednesday morning
mainly from southwest Indiana into the Pennyrile region.

Models show a warm front lifting into our area Thursday, then
low pressure moving along the front Thursday night into Friday.
A few sprinkles or flurries are possible along Interstate 64
and across southwest Indiana Thursday into Thursday night. High
temperatures Thursday will be colder, then we will see a brief
warm up Thursday night and Friday until the surface low pushes
on through our area. Behind the low, we will see a significant
cool down for Saturday, then another cold front will move
through our region Saturday afternoon into Saturday night. Small
chances of light rain and/or snow will accompany this cold
front, but any amounts will be minimal. The coldest air will
follow this front, and lows Saturday night and Sunday night
will be in the 10 to 20 degree range, with minimum wind chills
of near 0 to around 10 degrees.

The model blend brings small precipitation chances back to the
forecast Monday. There is quite a bit of variation in timing of
this system between individual models, so confidence is low at
this time. Temperatures will remain below normal.
