Kentucky Climate Summary
For the Period October 17th to 23rd, 2011
Below Normal Temperature and Above Normal Rainfall
This past week conditions were the complete opposite of the previous two, with
above normal rainfall and below normal temperatures. Rainfall came from a low
pressure system that started to our south on Tuesday and migrated to northern
Ohio by Thursday. Along with the rainfall the low pressure provided cloudy
skies, cool temperatures, and breezy conditions. Behind the system high pressure
built in and allowed skies to clear up. This warmed up afternoon high
temperatures; however the clear skies allowed overnight lows to drop to around
freezing. This provided widespread frost late in the week.
Temperatures for the period averaged 52 degrees across the state which was 4
degrees cooler than normal and 10 degrees cooler than the previous period. High
temperatures averaged from 61 in the West to 63 in the East. Departure from
normal high temperatures ranged from 10 degrees cooler than normal in the West
to 6 degrees cooler than normal in the East. Low temperatures averaged from 42
degrees in the West to 43 degrees in the East. Departure from normal low
temperature ranged from 4 degrees cooler than normal in the West to 2 degrees
warmer than normal in the East. The extreme high temperature for the period was
82 degrees at Pikeville and the extreme low was 28 degrees at Mayfield.

Kentucky Climate Summary
For the Period May 23rd to 29th, 2011
Above Normal Temperature and Above Normal Rainfall
This past week the Commonwealth had a warm and wet week much like the ones
experienced in April and early May of this year. Low pressure developed early in
the week west and warm moist air came in from the south. This provided scattered
showers and thunderstorms early in the week. Late in the work week the low
pressure moved east dragging a cold front across the state, which brought
widespread heavy rainfall. Behind the front temperatures cooled down a bit;
however building high pressure and a return to southerly flow warmed things back
up for the weekend.
Temperatures for the period averaged 70 degrees across the state which was 2
degrees warmer than normal and 8 degrees warmer than the previous period. High
temperatures averaged from 79 in the West to 80 in the East. Departure from

Kentucky Climate Summary
For the Period May 9th to 15th, 2011
Above Normal Temperature and Below Normal Rainfall
This past week the Commonwealth received a much needed drier than normal week;
especially western parts of the state, which received the least amount of
rainfall. This was the first week in the past 6 with below normal rainfall. The
below normal rainfall in the state allowed river heights to drop and fields to
begin drying out. Most all of the rainfall came in the second half of the week
from a slow moving low pressure system. This brought in scattered showers that
were concentrated mostly in the east. On the back side of this system
temperatures cooled considerably from the summer like conditions felt in the
beginning of the week.
Temperatures for the period averaged 68 degrees across the state which was 5
degrees warmer than normal and 12 degrees warmer than the previous period. High
temperatures averaged from 77 in the West to 78 in the East. Departure from
normal high temperatures ranged from 0 degrees from normal in the West to 3
degrees warmer than normal in the East. Low temperatures averaged from 62
degrees in the West to 59 degrees in the East. Departure from normal low
temperature ranged from 8 degrees warmer than normal in the West to 11 degrees
warmer than normal in the East. The extreme high temperature for the period was
91 degrees at Owensboro and the extreme low was 45 degrees at Big Sandy.
Rainfall for the period totaled 0.82 inches statewide which was 0.29 inches
below normal and 74% of normal. Rainfall totals by climate division, West 0.63
inches, Central 0.89 inches, Bluegrass 0.77 inches and East 1.00 inches, which
was 0.54, 0.28, 0.27 and 0.06 inches below normal. By station, rainfall totals
ranged from a low of 0.22 inches at Princeton to a high of 2.83 inches at
Burkesville.

Kentucky Climate Summary
For the Period May 2nd to 8th, 2011
Below Normal Temperature and Above Normal Rainfall
Another wet week in the Commonwealth, which made this the 5th week in a row with
above normal rainfall and the 4th in a row with more than double the normal
amount. Unlike the previous few weeks, this past week only had one major system
pass that dumped heavy rainfall early in the week. Rainfall was heaviest in
western portions of the state, which worsened flood conditions along the Ohio
River. The rest of the week only isolated to scattered showers were seen. This
past week was also the 1st week since the end of March beginning of April with
below normal temperatures. Cool temperatures came in behind the cold front that
passed through early in the week. Low temperatures even dropped far enough in
the middle of the week for a patchy frost across the state.
Temperatures for the period averaged 56 degrees across the state which was 5
degrees cooler than normal and 8 degrees cooler than the previous period. High
temperatures averaged from 67 in the West to 67 in the East. Departure from
normal high temperatures ranged from 8 degrees cooler than normal in the West to
7 degrees cooler than 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 5 degrees cooler than normal in the West to 0 degrees
from normal in the East. The extreme high temperature for the period was 86
degrees at Cadiz and the extreme low was 30 degrees at Frankfort.
Rainfall for the period totaled 2.54 inches statewide which was 1.45 inches
above normal and 232% of normal. Rainfall totals by climate division, West 3.42
inches, Central 2.41 inches, Bluegrass 2.86 inches and East 1.46 inches, which
was 2.23, 1.27, 1.85 and 0.43 inches above normal. By station, rainfall totals
ranged from a low of 1.29 inches at Cumberland Gap to a high of 4.56 inches at
Frankfort.

Kentucky Climate Summary
For the Period March 25th to May 1st, 2011
Above Normal Temperature and Above Normal Rainfall
For the 4th week in a row the Commonwealth received above normal rainfall, and
for the 3rd week in a row received over 3 inches of rainfall. This past week was
the wettest week thus far this year for the state. Western parts of the state,
especially along the Ohio River, received the most rainfall. This caused
widespread flooding and even caused the Ohio River at the station in Cairo to
rise above the record stage set back in 1937. Along with the heavy rainfall
there was also widespread severe weather across the state. Temperatures were
also above normal as the southerly flow not only kept the state wet, but also
warmer than normal.
Temperatures for the period averaged 63 degrees across the state which was 4
degrees warmer than normal and 2 degrees cooler than the previous period. High
temperatures averaged from 71 in the West to 74 in the East. Departure from
normal high temperatures ranged from 2 degrees cooler than normal in the West to
2 degrees warmer than normal in the East. Low temperatures averaged from 55
degrees in the West to 54 degrees in the East. Departure from normal low
temperature ranged from 5 degrees warmer than normal in the West to 10 degrees
warmer than normal in the East. The extreme high temperature for the period
was 88 degrees at Pikeville and the extreme low was 38 degrees at Whitley City.
Rainfall for the period totaled 3.89 inches statewide which was 2.83 inches
above normal and 366% of normal. Rainfall totals by climate division, West 6.32
inches, Central 4.34 inches, Bluegrass 2.62 inches and East 2.26 inches, which
was 5.12, 3.26, 1.64 and 1.27 inches above normal. By station, rainfall totals
ranged from a low of 1.30 inches at Hindman to a high of 12.74 inches at Poplar
Bluff.

Kentucky Climate Summary
For the Period April 18th to 24th, 2011
Above Normal Temperature and Above Normal Rainfall
This past week was another very wet week across the Commonwealth. Rainfall was
measured 4 to 5 days out of the week in most all locations through the state.
Most of the rainfall came late in the week due to a stationary front that set up
to our northwest. This caused the majority of rain to fall in northern and
western portions of the state along the Ohio River. This frontal boundary also
caused multiple severe thunderstorms to form and added to the flooding across
the state. Temperatures were also above normal as the southerly flow not only
kept the state wet, but also warmer than normal.
Temperatures for the period averaged 64 degrees across the state which was 7
degrees warmer than normal and 8 degrees warmer than the previous period. High
temperatures averaged from 72 in the West to 76 in the East. Departure from
normal high temperatures ranged from 1 degree warmer than normal in the West to
6 degrees warmer than normal in the East. Low temperatures averaged from 57
degrees in the West to 55 degrees in the East. Departure from normal low
temperature ranged from 10 degrees warmer than normal in the West to 13 degrees
warmer than normal in the East. The extreme high temperature for the period
was 87 degrees at Bowling Green and the extreme low was 36 degrees at
Carrollton.
Rainfall for the period totaled 3.49 inches statewide which was 2.49 inches
above normal and 349% of normal. Rainfall totals by climate division, West 5.30
inches, Central 2.92 inches, Bluegrass 4.31 inches and East 1.44 inches, which
was 4.14, 1.92, 3.39 and 0.52 inches above normal. By station, rainfall totals
ranged from a low of 0.37 inches at Pikeville to a high of 8.30 inches at
Morganfield.

Kentucky Climate Summary
For the Period April 11th to 17th, 2011
Above Normal Temperature and Above Normal Rainfall
This past week the Commonwealth got soaked by two separate systems. The first
system came in on Tuesday and lingered into late Wednesday morning. The second
system moved thru on Friday and Saturday, which even produced some severe
weather in the western part of the state. These two systems combined to give the
wettest week thus far this year and caused widespread flooding. Temperatures
over the week were near normal; however on the backside of each system

This past week was the first week of Spring, and it started off that way. Highs
for the first half of the week were in the 70s and even 80s across the
Commonwealth. However; mid week a strong cold front moved through the state.
This brought scattered showers and strong to severe thunderstorms, and much
colder temperatures on the backside. Highs for the 2nd half of the week dropped
considerably down to the 40s, and to the 30s for lows. These cold temperatures
caused rainfall to switch over to a wintery mix late in the week for northern
and eastern parts of the state. Precipitation was scattered throughout the week,
which caused rainfall totals to vary across the state.

rainfall on the state. Both rainfall events were the result of a low pressure
system moving in from the west and ample amounts of moisture moving up from the
Gulf. This once again doubled the normal amount of rainfall for the week, and

once again in the upper 80s to low 90s. The warmest temperatures came late in
the week from a high pressure that set up just to the east. This brought in some
hot and humid tropical air, which was enough to put livestock heat stress in the
danger category. The hot humid air over the state was also enough to create
plenty of pop-up thunderstorms, which dumped above normal rainfall on the state.

Just Above Normal Temperature and Below Normal Rainfall
This past week most everyday was sunny and clear, with temperatures right around
seasonal normals. The majority of rain fell early in the week in the eastern
part of the state, due to the leftovers from the system that dropped record
rainfall the weekend of May 1st and 2nd. The rest of the work week was mostly
dry, which is precisely what the Commonwealth needed to ease the widespread
flooding caused the week before. The only other widespread period of rainfall
was late Friday early Saturday from a cold front moving across the state, which
brought scattered rainfall in the form of thunderstorms. After the cold front
passed cool conditions entered the state, bringing some patchy frost in the east
on Sunday morning.
Temperatures for the period averaged 64 degrees across the state which was 1
degree above normal and 4 degrees warmer than the previous week. High

Just Below Normal Temperature and Above Normal Rainfall
The past week makes the 2nd week in a row with above normal rainfall. In fact
with the heavy rains over the weekend, this past week has been the wettest all
year. The week started off with some light rain mainly east, which came from a
system that dropped most of its rainfall the previous week. By mid week the
state was mostly clear and warm; however for the weekend things changed a great
deal. Due to a low pressure and cold front moving in from the west and an
abundance of very moist air being brought in from the Gulf Coast, the
Commonwealth received some record heavy rainfall over the weekend. The majority
of rain fell in the western two thirds of the state with the maximum in the south
central, where some places received around 10 inches for the weekend. The system
caused widespread flooding across the state as well as some severe weather;
including large hail, flash flooding, damaging winds, and tornadoes.

having received above normal rainfall. Rain fell nearly every day this past week
somewhere in the state, caused by scattered to isolated showers through early
and mid week and the widespread rainfall late in the week. The majority of
rainfall came late in the week on Saturday and Sunday. This was due to a large
low pressure system that moved east out of the central plains, which produced
one of the first widespread severe weather events of the year. Temperatures
started off cool with some scattered frost Monday morning in the east; however
conditions warmed up through the week to seasonal averages.
Temperatures for the period averaged 60 degrees across the state which was 1
degree above normal and 2 degrees cooler than the previous week. High

received a considerable amount more rainfall than the rest of the state. The
only traces of rainfall for the week came from a cold front sweeping east, which
moved in late Wednesday early Thursday. Despite the warm temperatures nearly
everyday the Commonwealth did experience some overnight lows around freezing.
This was caused by the passing of the cold front and produced some frost for
mainly the central and eastern parts of the state.

Kentucky Climate Summary
For the Period March 15th to 21st, 2010
Above Normal Temperature and Below Normal Rainfall
After the prior week broke the cold spell, the Commonwealth experienced another
warmer than normal week. This past week started off cloudy due to a low pressure
well east of the state, with highs in the 50s. As the week went on high pressure
started to build in clearing skies and raising high temperatures to the 60s. Not
till late in the weekend did skies begin to cloud up again, due to a low
pressure that produced some heavy rainfall for the western part of the state
Sunday. This provided some just above normal rainfall measurements for western
portions of the state; however central and eastern parts of the state were still
well below normal.
Temperatures for the period averaged 51 degrees across the state which was 5
degrees above normal and 1 degree cooler than the previous week. High

got some warm weather. The week started off with clear skies and highs in the
70s in some locations. By mid week the large low pressure in the Plains began to
cloud up skies and bring in some rainfall. This low pressure would drive the
weather for the remainder of the week, with cloudy skies and scattered rainfall
each day. By the weekend the low reached and passed the state, leaving it a bit
colder with continued scattered rainfall. Despite having rainfall nearly every
day through the week, the state still received below normal precipitation,
however only slightly.

every other week this past week started off cold, with an occluded low pressure
system moving east out of the state. This brought some cold arctic air down into
the state for the beginning and middle part of the week, along with some

For the Period February 1 to 7, 2010
Slightly Below Normal Temperature and Above Normal Precipitation
After a cold and snowy ending to January, February starts off cold and rainy. In
fact Monday was the only day that no precipitation fell in the Commonwealth. For
the middle part of the week rain stayed in eastern portions of the state and was
light. It was not until Friday that heavy rains came in to put us above average
for the week. The rainfall was courtesy of a low pressure system that developed
along the Gulf. After temperatures began to drop, rainfall from the low pressure
slowly changed over to snow for some locations. Temperatures were just below
normal, which was due to cloudy conditions for most of the week. This kept
daytime highs well below average, but also kept lows above average.
Temperatures for the period averaged 32 degrees across the state which was 1
degree below normal and 5 degrees warmer than the previous week. High
temperatures averaged from 38 in the West to 38 in the East. Departure from

Kentucky Climate Summary
For the Period January 25 to 31, 2010
Below Normal Temperature and Below Normal Precipitation
After two weeks of warmer than average temperatures and rain, the Commonwealth
got a cold snowy reminder of winter. The week started off mild with just below
normal temperatures and some isolated snowfall. The big snowstorm did not arrive
until Friday night Saturday morning. Due to the low pressure that caused this
weather being well to our south, southern portions of the state received the
most snowfall with the southeast corner of the state receiving the most. Behind
the winter storm was a strong arctic high that drove temperatures well below
normal and with the wind chill even down to the emergency level for livestock
coldstress.
Temperatures for the period averaged 27 degrees across the state which was 6
degrees below normal and 18 degrees cooler than the previous week. High
temperatures averaged from 33 in the West to 34 in the East. Departure from
normal high temperatures ranged from 12 degrees below normal in the West to 6

Kentucky Climate Summary
For the Period January 18 to 24, 2010
Above Normal Temperature and Above Normal Precipitation
The warming trend continued, however the dry streak of 2010 came to an abrupt
end. The wet weather started Tuesday with a warm front moving in from the south.
The front soon became stationary, which gave the state constantly cloudy skies
and rainy weather through early Friday. Saturday would clear up a bit only to be
followed by a strong cold front Sunday, which dumped heavy rain on the
Commonwealth. Temperatures for the week were well above average due to the flow
from the gulf, which in turn is the reason for all the rainfall the state
received. Despite having above average temperatures for the state as a whole,
some northern parts of the state had much cooler days than the rest of the
state. This was due to the stationary front in place, which kept the cooler air
to the north and warmer air to the south for the middle part of the week.
Temperatures for the period averaged 45 degrees across the state which was 13
degrees above normal and 11 degrees warmer than the previous week. High
temperatures averaged from 53 in the West to 52 in the East. Departure from
normal high temperatures ranged from 9 degrees above normal in the West to 13
degrees above normal in the East. Low temperatures averaged from 40 degrees in

After a bitterly cold first full week of the New Year, this past week warmed up
considerably. However, for Monday and Tuesday this was not the case as much of
the Commonwealth had temperatures below freezing. The warm up came in on
Wednesday, due to a high pressure that set up in the Ohio Valley. This brought
in highs into the 50s and lows that did not even get below the freezing mark.
Precipitation for the week came late with some heavy rain on Saturday night and
Sunday. The heavy rains were due to a low pressure that came north off of the
gulf, and was the only significant amount of precipitation that fell, other than
a few flurries on Monday.
Temperatures for the period averaged 34 degrees across the state which was 3
degrees above normal and 17 degrees warmer than the previous week. High
