Freeze Wacth 

FROST ADVISORY IN EFFECT TONIGHT... ...FREEZE WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY EVENING THROUGH MONDAY MORNING...

.Cold airmass in place tonight along with light winds should allow for frost formation for many locations in southern Indiana and central Kentucky by daybreak Saturday. A strong cold front will cross the region Sunday morning, allowing for even cold temperatures as we start the day Monday. A killing agricultural freeze is looking more likely, likely ending the growing season for this year.

The National Weather Service in Louisville has issued a Freeze Watch, which is in effect from late Sunday night through Monday morning.

* TEMPERATURE...Low to mid 30s by Saturday morning. Lows in the mid 20s for all but the immediate Louisville metro, where lows should be around 30 Monday morning.

* IMPACTS...Frost could have impacts on agricultural and horticultural interests. Vegetation sensitive to frost may be damaged or killed if left uncovered. The freeze Monday morning likely will end the growing season.

A Frost Advisory means that widespread frost is expected. Sensitive outdoor plants may be killed if left uncovered.

A Freeze Watch means sub-freezing temperatures are possible. These conditions could kill crops and other sensitive vegetation.

If you have mums like I do, be sure to bring them indoors or cover them appropriately.

There are a lot of tropical disturbances to keep an eye on within the coming days. 

It's been a very active season as there is only one name left to be used to name Tropical Storms/Hurricanes in the Atlantic. Once the last name is used, they will begin using the Greek Alphabet to name any future storms. Interesting to note that this is the first time in recorded history, that there are 5 named storms of tropical storm force (39+mph) or higher simultaneously in the Atlantic. (Paulette, Rene, Sally, Teddy, Vicky)

Hurricane Sally is currently packing 100 mph winds, a pressure of 967 mb, moving north northeast at 3 miles an hour.

Potentially historic flooding is possible in portions of Alabama and Florida as Sally moves slowly through Wednesday.
