Jackson, Kentucky – Morning fog drifts through the foothills of eastern Kentucky, clinging to hollows and softening headlights along Route 15. The chill in the air is steady but not harsh — a quiet calm before a damp November transition later today and into Sunday.
According to the National Weather Service in Jackson, clouds will thicken this afternoon ahead of an approaching disturbance from the west. Showers are expected to develop after midnight and linger into early Sunday, with up to a quarter-inch of rain possible. Roads may become slick across the Kentucky River valley and higher terrain near Breathitt and Wolfe counties, especially before sunrise. Skies begin clearing by late Sunday, setting the stage for several dry, mild days.
Temperatures will hold in the upper 50s Sunday before climbing back to near 60°F on Monday under full sunshine. Winds remain light and variable, a sign that high pressure will dominate much of next week. Those planning outdoor cleanup, travel, or early holiday decorating will find near-perfect weather from Monday through Thursday. Afternoon highs in the mid to upper 60s will pair with crisp, clear nights in the mid-30s to low 40s.
To be fair, November isn’t done teasing its colder side. Long-range models hint at a sharper front late next weekend, possibly bringing the first widespread frost or light freeze back to eastern Kentucky. For now, residents can enjoy this calm stretch — a brief, welcome pause before winter’s next reminder arrives.
