Here are some September Climate Stats for Lexington:

Mean Temperature: 68.4 degrees
This was 0.4 degrees above average -- within half of a degree of normal.

This was the 8th Wettest September in Lexington history. (Somewhat by coincidence, last month landed at the #8 wettest in Frankfort, London and Jackson as well.)

Tonight, clouds will thicken, and we'll see some more widespread showers develop late tonight into early Friday morning. Overnight lows will be near 56 degrees.

Rain will fall during the first half of the day on Friday, but it won't be here long. Showers will slide east during the afternoon, and we will dry out during the second half of the day. If you're heading out for high school football, you should be dry, but it will be cool with a bit of a breeze. Friday's high will only be near 65.

Saturday and Sunday both look spectacular with sunshine, a few patchy clouds, and cool, dry conditions. Highs will be near 62 on Saturday and 61 on Sunday. High pressure will pass overhead.

We will warm back closer to average on Monday, when highs climb back to near 70 degrees. A few showers will develop late in the day ahead of the next storm system.

Tuesday and Wednesday will be wet with scattered showers and thunderstorms. Low pressure will promote plenty of clouds. Highs will be near 72 on Tuesday and 73 on Wednesday.

By Thursday, the low pressure system will slide east. A few showers may linger into the morning, but we should turn drier late in the day. Highs will be near 67.
