AREA WEATHER SUMMARY
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
400 PM EST THU MAR 9 2000

AN ADVANCING COLD FRONT BROUGHT SHOWERS AND EVEN A FEW THUNDERSTORMS 
TO EAST KENTUCKY DURING THE OVERNIGHT AND INTO THE MORNING. ALTHOUGH 
RAINFALL AMOUNTS WERE GENERALLY LESS THAN A TENTH OF AN INCH...THERE 
WERE SOME BRIEF HEAVY DOWN POURS WITH THE THUNDERSTORMS. SOME 
LOCATIONS AS ESTIMATED BY DOPPLER RADAR RECEIVED NEARLY A HALF INCH 
OF RAIN. 

TEMPERATURES AT DAWN WERE MORE TYPICAL OF JUNE THAN MARCH FOR EAST 
KENTUCKY WITH READINGS IN THE 50S AND 60S ALL ACROSS THE REGION. 

AS THE DAY PROGRESSED THE SURFACE TROUGH OUT AHEAD OF THE COLD 
FRONT...MORE DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SHOWERS AND 
THUNDERSTORMS...MOVED TO THE EAST ALLOWING FOR SKIES TO CLEAR 
SOMEWHAT. WINDS ALSO PICKED UP CONSIDERABLY AS THE COLD FRONT BEGAN 
TO PUSH THROUGH THE AREA. WINDS GUSTED TO NEAR 40 MPH IN SOME PLACES 
AS THE STRONG WINDS ALOFT MADE THEIR WAY TO THE SURFACE. 
TEMPERATURES MANAGED TO REACH INTO THE 70S FOR AFTERNOON HIGHS AS 
THE COLDEST AIR WAS LAGGING WELL BEHIND THE FRONT. 

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRIEFLY BUILD INTO THE REGION FROM CANADA 
BRINGING A MOSTLY CLEAR AND MUCH COOLER NIGHT WITH LOWS RANGING FROM 
40 TO 45 DEGREES. FRIDAY WILL BE PARTLY SUNNY AND COOLER WITH HIGHS 
IN THE 50S TO NEAR 60 BEFORE THE NEXT SYSTEM BRINGS INCREASING 
CLOUDS AND A CHANCE OF RAIN BEGINNING FRIDAY NIGHT POSSIBLY ENDING AS 
SNOW ON SATURDAY NIGHT.
