KENTUCKY MONTHLY AND ANNUAL CLIMATE SUMMARY FOR -- 2017 By: Tom Priddy and Matt Dixon -- UK Agricultural Weather Center * Based on Preliminary Data. Weekly graphs available within the UKAWC Kentucky Weather Information Web site. Sources: UKAWC, NCDC and Midwest Regional Climate Center === Kentucky Climate Summary For the Period December 2018 Above Normal Temperatures and Precipitation: * The last month of 2019 started off on the cool side with below normal temperatures through the first half of December. Temperatures stuck in the 30s for much of the first week and was followed by an early season winter storm that weekend. Ice accumulations of a tenth to quarter inch were seen across South Central Kentucky, while 3 to 6+ inches of snow accumulated throughout Southeastern Kentucky. A milder pattern then settled in for the rest of the month, bringing an end to a lengthy period of cooler weather. In fact, the second week of December marked the first week since the middle of October that the average state temperature was actually above normal. While it did get warmer, precipitation went on the increase. Periods of showers fell across the area, becoming widespread at times. The state averaged nearly an inch and a half between the 10th and 16th, alone. Kentucky also had some nuisance flooding on New Years Eve as many across the state saw between 1 and 1.5 inches. Overall, the state averaged 5.86 inches for the month, which marked the second straight month of above normal precipitation. Many stations ended up breaking annual rainfall records, including Lexington, Frankfort, and Louisville. 2018 was the wettest year ever recorded for the Bluegrass and Eastern Kentukcy climate divisions with an average of 68.63 and 64.51 inches, respectively. The 68.63 average in the Bluegrass is nearly 23 inches above normal! The state ended 2018 as the 2nd wettest on record with an average of 63.70 inches, less than an inch behind 2011. Temperatures for the period averaged 41 degrees across the state which was 3 degrees warmer than normal. High temperatures averaged from 49 in the West to 48 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 35 degrees in the West to 35 degrees in the East. Departure from normal low temperature ranged from 5 degrees warmer than normal in the West to 7 degrees warmer than normal in the East. The extreme high temperature for the period was 73 at WHITESBURG 2NW and the extreme low was 12 at CYNTHIANA 8N. Precipitation (liq. equ.) for the period totaled 5.86 inches statewide which was 1.41 inches above normal and 132% of normal. Precipitation totals by climate division, West 5.85 inches, Central 6.01 inches, Bluegrass 5.34 inches and East 6.23 inches, which was 0.97, 1.19, 1.47 and 2 inches above normal. By station, precipitation totals ranged from a low of 3.68 inches at TRIANGLE MOUNTAIN to a high of 9.98 inches at WHITLEY CITY 3N.

It seemed as though each week brought a solid soaking of rainfall. The month started with a cold front coming to stall across the Ohio River. Western Kentucky and areas northeast into the Bluegrass saw 1 to 3+ inches for the first day of November. Another frontal passage on the 5th and 6th led to statewide accumulations of 1 to 2 inches. In fact, over the first 11 days of November, Kentucky averaged 3.27 inches. Putting this into perspective, the state typically averages 3.91 for the entire month. Precipitation then took on a more wintry nature as winter cold took hold for the second half of November. On the night of the 14th and 15th, freezing rain fell across much of Central Kentucky and the Bluegrass with numerous accumulations between a tenth and quarter inch. Ice accumulations were mainly limited to elevated surfaces with warm ground temperatures in place. While this mitigated road impacts, the ice did lead to many downed limbs and associated power outages. Precipitation fell in the form of snow for extreme portions of Western Kentucky with accumulations between 1 and 2 inches. Continued rounds of precipitation later in the month led to a state average of 5.69 inches, which is about two inches above normal and ranks as the 14th wettest November on record. Kentucky year to data rainfall sits at 58.08 inches as of the end of November and ranks as the 4th wettest over that time span. Cooler temperatures returning for the second half of the month led to an average temperature of 5 degrees below normal for November and broke a six-month streak of above normal temperatures for the Bluegrass State.

October started out extremely warm with summer going into overtime. Highs in the upper 80s to low 90s were common into the second week of the month. Normal highs for this time of the year are in the low to middle 70s. A strong cold front then moved through the area on the 10th, marking the start of a very abrupt cool-down. Northwest flow knocked temperatures down into the upper 30s to middle 40s for lows that weekend. The fall-like conditions then stuck around for the second half of the month. Multiple cold fronts sent temperatures a bit lower by the third week of the month with numerous frost advisories and freeze warnings issued. Extreme low temperatures were recorded in the upper 20s to middle 30s statewide. Bottom line, it was an abrupt temperature change from earlier in the month. Precipitation-wise, following the third wettest September on record, the state saw slightly below normal rainfall for the month of October.

The state averaged 8.12 inches, which was almost five above normal. While the state finished third, the Bluegrass Region and Eastern Kentucky each recorded the all-time wettest September on record with averages of 10.33 and 8.59, respectively. The intense rainfall started with the remnants of Tropical Storm Gordon working through the area between the 5th and 9th. Widespread showers and storms led to several bouts of flash flooding and rivers rising into the minor flood stages. During this time span, the state averaged a little over 2.5 inches, but much high totals were seen along the Ohio River and up into Northeastern Kentucky where many were over four inches. This was followed by yet another tropical system a week later as the Tropical Depression Florence worked through Eastern Kentucky. This time, rainfall was less widespread and confined mainly to Eastern the eastern half of the state. Even with the passage of two tropical systems, an active pattern remained for the second half of the month. Thunderstorms developed within an unstable atmosphere on the 21st with the passage of a cold front, producing heavy rain and signaling the start of a very active week with daily rounds of rainfall. Between the 21st and 27th, the state averaged over four inches. Already saturated grounds led to continued flooding issues, especially across the Southern Bluegrass and Northeastern Kentucky.

This led the US Drought Monitor to downgrade portions of the Purchase area to a moderate drought. Luckily, the skies did eventually open for Western Kentucky. Between the 6th and 12th, an active pattern led to each section of the state averaging an inch+. While Western Kentucky was coming out of drought, others received ample rainfall throughout the month. The Bluegrass area of Northern Kentucky averaged two inches over the first week of August. After an active second week as mentioned above, the wet pattern stuck around for a third straight week with a combination of frontal boundaries and disturbances sparking numerous rounds of rainfall. A tropical air mass led to excessive accumulations, especially across North Central Kentucky, which received in excess of three inches. Central Kentucky and the Bluegrass Region each averaged over two inch inches, while Western and Eastern Kentucky were closer to an inch. Kentucky finished the month in the top 25 wettest August's on record. Saying that, the Bluegrass Region finished sixth.

High temperatures routinely jumped into the 90s. The most intense period came on the 4th and 5th as highs peaked in the low to middle 90s statewide. Even had some upper 90s in spots. Combined with high humidity, heat indices topped out around 110, prompting ‘Heat Advisories’ and Excessive Heat Warnings’ to be issued. This pushed the livestock heat stress index into the ‘Danger and Emergency’ on a near daily basis. Luckily, Kentucky finally saw a break from the heat over the second half of July as temperatures dropped below normal for the first time since the end of April. Kentucky ended the month with slightly below normal rainfall, but that does not tell the whole story. Totals varied widely across the state, averaging 2.21 inches across Western Kentucky and up to 5.52 inches across the Bluegrass area. This was in typical summer fashion as isolated to scattered coverage was common over the course of the month. One exception came on the 20th as multiple rounds of severe storms produced everything from torrential rainfall, large hail, damaging winds, and even a few tornadoes. Still though, Western Kentucky missed the rainfall. While Central Kentucky and points east averaged over two inches, Western Kentucky was under three tenths of an inch. The consistent dry pattern led the US Drought Monitor to push portions of the Purchase area into the ‘Abnormally Dry’ category.

The heat continued and intensified through the month. The most intense heat occurred over the last week of the month when high temperatures rose into the low to middle 90s. Combined with dew points in the 70s, heat indices jumped well over the century mark, prompting a ‘Heat Advisory’ to be issued. Overall, the state continued a streak from May with nine straight weeks of above normal temperatures. Officially, June 2018 was the 12th warmest June on record for the Bluegrass State. The state averaged a little over six inches for the month of June, which was almost 2 inches above normal and good for the 11th wettest June on record. Storms were prevalent throughout the month and while coverage was not always high, the repetitive nature pushed rainfall above normal for most everyone. The moist atmosphere led to torrential rainfall and localized flooding at times, which was especially the case over the last week of June when the state averaged 2.70 inches.

Looking at the official data for the month of May, 'skipping spring' seems like a good remark. May 2018 was the warmest May that Kentuckians have ever seen. 2018 now takes the top spot with an average temperature of 71.6°, breaking a record that has stood since 1962. At least some part of the Commonwealth hit 90 degrees each week of the month and led the way to four straight weeks of above normal temperatures. Putting this into perspective, normal high temperatures run in the upper 70s to lower 80s for late May. In addition to the warmth, summer humidity also returned ahead of schedule. Dew points jumped well into the 60s and even into the 70s at times, further magnifying an abrupt change from a cool April to very warm May. This was a challenge not only for us, but also for animals. The above normal temperatures and high humidity pushed the livestock heat stress index into the “Danger” category several times throughout the month. The summer-like pattern, with Kentucky situated within a moist and unstable atmosphere, led to numerous days with scattered storms developing during the day and waning at night. The month ended with the state having to deal with the remnants of Subtropical Depression Alberto moving north from the Gulf of Mexico. Even with Alberto, Kentucky saw slightly below normal rainfall for the month, averaging 4.69 inches.

It was the seventh coldest April on record for Kentucky as “Freeze Warnings” and “Frost Advisories” were common features on the hazards map throughout the month. Patchy frost was reported as late as the 29th across the eastern half of Kentucky. While Kentucky did see some temporary swings to spring warmth, winter cold ultimately won out. The average state temperature for April was 50.5 degrees, which was over 5 degrees below normal. Winter also made late appearances in the form of snow as bursts of snow showers were seen as late as the 16th. Other than the snow, Kentucky grounds remained moist throughout the month with above normal precipitation in place three of the four weeks. This wet pattern extends back into February with what is now, three straight months of above normal precipitation. Overall, Kentucky averaged 4.47 inches for the month of April. Temperatures for the period averaged 52 degrees across the state which was 4 degrees cooler than normal. High temperatures averaged from 62 in the West to 63 in the East. Departure from normal high temperatures ranged from 7 degrees cooler than normal in the West to 5 degrees cooler than normal in the East. Low temperatures averaged from 42 degrees in the West to 40 degrees in the East. Departure from normal low temperature ranged from 4 degrees cooler than normal in the West to near normal in the East. The extreme high temperature for the period was 86 at LOUISA 1S and the extreme low was 18 at MONTICELLO AWOS. Precipitation (liq. equ.) for the period totaled 4.37 inches statewide which was 0.03 inches above normal and 101% of normal. Precipitation totals by climate division, West 4.82 inches, Central 3.91 inches, Bluegrass 4.34 inches and East 4.40 inches, which was -0.10, -0.52, 0.38 and 0.35 inches respectively from normal. By station, precipitation totals ranged from a low of 2.73 inches at LOUISA 1S to a high of 9.17 inches at WHITLEY CITY 3N.

While the state did have short-lived bouts of spring weather, it seemed winter weather seemed to win out in the transition month. Winter cold returned on the mornings of the 8th and 9th with lows dipping into the 20s. Even had several locations in the teens. This set the stage for a major late season winter storm on the 11th and 12th. A large portion of the state's midsection received in upwards of 4 inches. The highest accumulations were seen around Lexington, Danville, and Richmond with 8 to 10 inches in spots. Even with calendar turning to spring, Kentucky saw a couple more rounds of winter weather. The more significant event occurred on the spring equinox with 5 to 10 inches of additional snowfall falling over North Central Kentucky. The good news was that temperatures quickly rose above freezing and kept most of the snowfall events less impactful. Saying that, the heavy wet nature of the snow did lead some branches to fall and corresponding power outages. The active pattern continued into the last full week of the month where the state averaged almost two inches and kept many farmers out of the fields. Grounds became saturated as a frontal boundary hung up over the area and was the focus for multiple rounds of rainfall as disturbances passed overhead. Overall, the state averaged about five inches of precipitation, which was about three quarters of an inch above normal. This marked the second straight month of above normal precipitation as Kentucky heads into the growing season.

Ending the month, the state averaged 8.91 inches, which is good for the third wettest February on record for the Bluegrass State. Based on data from the Ag Weather Center, over the 21 day period between the 7th and the 27th, the Bluegrass State averaged 7.79 inches. Putting 7.79 into perspective, normal precipitation for the month of February is 3.68, over double what we normally see. Separating the three-week period above gives a closer look at how we got to this point. Between the 5th and the 11th, the state averaged 2.32 inches, which was the most in one week since the end of August and start of September last year. With continued rainfall the following week, rivers and streams began running high, prompting river flood warnings to be issued. After soils had become saturated, Kentucky then experienced it’s wettest week since early July of 2016. From the 21st through the 25th, the Commonwealth averaged almost four inches of rainfall. What made the period unique was that widespread rains fell on a daily basis. With tropical moisture in place, moderate, to at times, heavy rain led to tremendous runoff and ponding of low-lying areas. Agriculture felt a variety of impacts through the month. The latest version of the Kentucky Crop Progress and Condition Report points to some of those problems, whether it be waterlogged pastures, muddy conditions hampering mobility and feeding, or delayed management strategies. This was in addition to many area rivers flooding across the state. While it has been wet, it was warm also. High temperatures jumped into the upper 70s to low 80s on February 20th behind breezy southwest flow. Some locations broke all-time record highs for the month of February. That includes data going back to 1895. The warmth stuck with the area for much of the latter half of February. In fact, the state was 20 degrees above normal for the period of January 19th through the 25th. Overall, Feburary 2018 was the sixth warmest February on record for Kentucky.

The start of the New Year started on a very cold note. In fact, low temperatures over the first week averaged in the single digits, which is roughly 20 degrees below normal. Lows on the morning of the 2nd dipped below zero for much of Kentucky, marking the first time this had happened since late winter of 2015. With wind chills dropping below zero for an extended period, this created very stressful conditions for livestock, keeping the cold stress index in the Emergency category. It was not until the first weekend of the month that temperatures finally went above freezing, marking the first time that had happened since December 23rd. The followed week brought somewhat of a spring thaw as highs pushed into the 50s and 60s at one point, but this was followed by yet another Arctic front through the area. The passage of this boundary also led to the first significant winter storm of the season. Most everyone saw a period of a wintry mix before changing to all snow, some longer than others. Ice accumulations were highest across the western half of Kentucky with a quarter inch in some spots. Snow accumulations ranged from as little as 1 inch to 6+ inches south of Paducah. The fresh snowpack led to another extended period of cold, dropping below zero at times. This was followed by another winter storm a few days later. This time, precipitation was all snow. Most of the state saw another couple inches, but a large percentage received in excess of four, especially Western Kentucky. The tide turned once again to close out the month. Between the 22nd and 28th, high temperatures jumped back into the 50s for most of the week, along with a couple significant rounds of rainfall. The state averaged about an inch with these events, but it was not enough to bring the state closer to normal for January. Overall, the state was just over an inch below normal for the month. Temperatures for the period averaged 31 degrees across the state which was 2 degrees cooler than normal. High temperatures averaged from 39 in the West to 42 in the East. Departure from normal high temperatures ranged from 4 degrees cooler than normal in the West to 2 degrees cooler than normal in the East. Low temperatures averaged from 24 degrees in the West to 22 degrees in the East. Departure from normal low temperature ranged from 1 degree cooler than normal in the West to 1 degree cooler than normal in the East. The extreme high temperature for the period was 74 at LOUISA 1S and the extreme low was -17 at MONTICELLO AWOS. Precipitation (liq. equ.) for the period totaled 2.32 inches statewide which was 1.07 inches below normal and 68% of normal. Precipitation totals by climate division, West 3.30 inches, Central 2.14 inches, Bluegrass 2.06 inches and East 1.79 inches, which was 0.26, 1.48, 0.86 and 1.66 inches below normal. By station, precipitation totals ranged from a low of 0.34 inches at MONTICELLO AWOS to a high of 4.60 inches at MURRAY 1W.
