KENTUCKY MONTHLY AND ANNUAL CLIMATE SUMMARY FOR 2017
By: Tom Priddy and Matt Dixon – UK Agricultural Weather Center
http://weather.uky.edu/ky/agreview.php#Crop_Report
JANUARY
The new year started with a blast of Arctic air from the north. This pushed livestock cold stress into the
emergency category for an extended period. From there, temperatures were much warmer. Official data shows
that January 2017 was the 10th warmest on record with data going back 123 years. Accompanying the warm
temperatures was an active pattern, resulting in many rounds of showers through the end January.
Temperatures for the period averaged 42 degrees across the state, 9 degrees warmer than normal. High
temperatures averaged 49 in the West and East. Low temperatures averaged from 36 degrees in the West to 36
degrees in the East. Precipitation for the period totaled 4.05 inches statewide which was 0.32 inches above
normal.
FEBRUARY
It felt more like spring throughout much of February. Well above normal temperatures led Kentucky to the
warmest February on a 123-year record. The state averaged 46.1 degrees, which was over 8 degrees above
normal for the month. The unseasonably warm conditions was carried by numerous days in the 60s, but even
the 70s were seen occasionally. Several locations pushed into the lower 80s on the 24th. Through the end of the
month, the state had gone 8 straight weeks of above normal temperatures. While it was warm, February saw
well below normal rainfall.
Temperatures for the period averaged 48 degrees across the state which was 10 degrees warmer than normal
and 8 degrees warmer than the previous period. High temperatures averaged from 58 in the West to 58 in the
East. Low temperatures averaged from 39 degrees in the West to 37 degrees in the East. Precipitation for the
period totaled 2.97 inches statewide which was 0.97 inches below normal.
MARCH
March finished near normal for both precipitation and temperatures in Kentucky. The month roared in like a
lion with strong to severe storms pushing across the area ahead of a cold front. Damaging winds, hail, and even
tornadoes was seen on the morning of the first. After a dry February, much of the area received over an inch of
rainfall with this system. More severe weather followed towards the end of the month.
Between the events was a period of winter-like temperatures. Leading into the cold snap, the Bluegrass State
had experienced nine straight weeks of above normal temperatures. This led to winter wheat, plasticulture
strawberries, peaches, and other fruit trees all in advanced growth stages. Because of this, Freeze Warnings
were issued a little earlier than normal as lows dipped well below freezing multiple times. The most extreme
cold came on the mornings of the 15th and 16th as lows dipped into the middle teens to low 20s.
APRIL
An active pattern slowed planting progress through the month of April. This was especially true over the latter
half of the month. In Kentucky, the wettest week of 2017 occurred between the 17th and 23rd as the state
averaged 2.10 inches, which was over an inch above normal. Overall, the state saw slightly above normal
rainfall. Other than a dry February, Kentucky has seen above normal rainfall four of the past five months.
Temperatures remained warm through much of April. Each week saw highs peak in the 80s. Even saw a handful
of locations hit the 90s over the last week of the month. Overall, it was the second warmest April on record for
the Bluegrass State. The state has now went 11 straight months with temperatures averaging above normal.
Kentucky Annual Bulletin (September 2018) 13 USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
MAY
May 2017 marked the third straight month that Kentucky has seen above normal precipitation. Statewide
rainfall averaged over an inch for each week throughout the month. In fact, going back into April, the state had
gone six straight weeks averaging over an inch. A slow moving low-pressure system led to a statewide average
of 1.70 inches. Following the disturbance, temperatures plummeted that weekend. On the mornings of the 7th
and 8th, much of Central/Eastern Kentucky and the Bluegrass saw low temperatures dip into the 30s. Lows are
normally in the low to middle 50s for this time of year. The cooler temperatures were short-lived and by the
third week of May, it felt more like summer with the return of heat and humidity. This led to yet another month
of above normal temperatures. Looking back at the past year, temperatures in Kentucky averaged above normal
each and every month.
JUNE
Temperatures for the period averaged 72 degrees across the state which was near normal. High temperatures
averaged from 84 in the West to 81 in the East. Departure from normal high temperatures ranged from 2
degrees cooler than normal in the West to 2 degrees cooler than normal in the East. Low temperatures averaged
from 64 degrees in the West to 60 degrees in the East. Departure from normal low temperature ranged from 1
degree warmer than normal in the West to 1 degree warmer than normal in the East.
Precipitation for the period totaled 4.90 inches statewide which was 0.48 inches above normal. Precipitation
totals by climate division, West 4.73 inches, Central 5.10 inches, Bluegrass 5.12 inches and East 4.65 inches,
which was 0.42, 0.67, 0.69 and 0.15 inches above normal.
JULY
Overall, Kentucky saw near normal rainfall and temperatures for the month of July, but that only tells half of
the story. After an extremely wet first week of the month, when the state averaged nearly two inches,
conditions became fairly dry across the state until the end of July. Showers and storms were isolated to
scattered in nature for much of the area, keeping most dry. In fact, the second week of the month was one of the
driest weeks of the growing season thus far. Any locations that were lucky enough to get some rainfall did see
torrential rains as the state was situated within a very moist air mass.
It felt it as though it was very warm throughout the month. Most of the time, the state sat in the upper 80s to low
90s. This is right around normal. What made the difference was how humid it was outdoors. Dew points
increased into the 70s, pushing heat indices into the triple digits at times, leading to oppressive heat. In addition
to not much recovery at night, livestock stress lifted into the danger to emergency category.
AUGUST
While rainfall was above normal for the Bluegrass state for the month of August 2017, drier than normal
conditions in the western and some central sections of the state had some crops looking less than optimum. In
the eastern part of the state, rainfall was much above normal. By the end of the month, the remnants of
Hurricane Harvey had started to dump tremendous amounts of rainfall on much of the state, especially west and
central.
August will be the first month since May 2016 that the average temperature was more than a degree below
normal for the month at Louisville/Lexington. Temperatures for the period averaged 73 degrees across the state
which was 2 degrees cooler than normal. High temperatures averaged from 84 in the West to 82 in the East.
Low temperatures averaged from 65 degrees in the West to 63 degrees in the East.
14 Kentucky Annual Bulletin (September 2018) USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
Precipitation for the period totaled 4.28 inches statewide which was 0.49 inches above normal. Precipitation
totals by climate division, West 3.21 inches, Central 3.97 inches, Bluegrass 3.88 inches and East 6.06 inches,
which was -0.31, 0.20, 0.11 and 1.96 inches respectively from normal.
SEPTEMBER
Kentucky saw two tropical systems pass through the area over the first half of September. The remnants of
Hurricane Harvey arrived over the first couple days of the month, and then the remnants of Hurricane Irma on
the 12th and 13th. The rest of the month turned mostly dry. Harvey brought more than enough rainfall to push
Kentucky to a seventh straight month of above normal rainfall.
Temperatures for the period averaged 68 degrees across the state which was 1 degree cooler than normal. High
temperatures averaged from 82 in the West to 77 in the East. Low temperatures averaged from 59 degrees in the
West to 57 degrees in the East. Precipitation for the period totaled 4.26 inches statewide which was 0.74 inches
above normal. Precipitation totals by climate division, West 3.99 inches, Central 6.74 inches, Bluegrass 3.87
inches and East 2.42 inches, which was 0.50, 2.87, 0.65 and -1.06 inches respectively from normal.
OCTOBER
Heading into October, most of the state had gone two weeks without seeing any rainfall. Luckily, the state
started October with yet another remnant tropical system moving through the area. This time, it was
Nate. The remnant hurricane interacted with a cold front on the 7th and 8th and produced a tremendous amount
of rainfall. The active pattern then continued for a second straight week and after a temporary dry spell, the state
averaged another two inches the last week of October. Overall, it was the 9th wettest October on record.
Temperatures remained warm for most of the month, but it was only a matter of time before the first frost. That
came over the last few days of October as lows dipped into the low to middle 30s, some in the 20s.
Temperatures for the period averaged 60 degrees across the state which was 2 degrees warmer than normal.
Precipitation for the period totaled 5.17 inches statewide which was 1.87 inches above normal. Precipitation
totals by climate division, West 5.38 inches, Central 5.36 inches, Bluegrass 5.00 inches and East 4.93 inches,
which was 1.87, 1.96, 1.91 and 1.72 inches above normal.
NOVEMBER
November started with multiple frontal boundaries pushing north and south across the region. This led to
multiple rounds of showers and at times, storms. While accumulations were not very high, the frequency of the
events in addition to cloud cover kept soil conditions on the moist side and farmers out of the fields, slowing
harvest progress. The last couple of weeks were mostly rain-free.
Temperatures for the period averaged 48 degrees across the state which was near normal. High temperatures
averaged from 59 in the West to 58 in the East. Low temperatures averaged from 40 degrees in the West to 38
degrees in the East. Rain for the period totaled 2.23 inches statewide which was 1.67 inches below normal.
Precipitation totals by climate division, West 2.34 inches, Central 2.07 inches, Bluegrass 2.96 inches and East
1.53 inches, which was 2.18, 2.04, 0.45 and 2.05 inches below normal.
DECEMBER
A dry trend continued into the first half of December as the state only saw one significant round of widespread
showers. Low pressure lifted northeast through the region on the 22nd and 23rd. This system had a large
amount of moisture to work with and led to most of Kentucky averaging over 1.5 inches.
Kentucky Annual Bulletin (September 2018) 15 USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
Overall, temperatures ran a couple degrees below normal, but the bigger story was the return of Arctic air,
especially the last week of 2017. Temperatures dipped into the single digits over a handful of the nights. This
led to an extended period of livestock cold stress in the Emergency category.
Temperatures for the period averaged 36 degrees across the state, 2 degrees cooler than normal. High
temperatures averaged from 45 in the West to 45 in the East. Low temperatures averaged from 29 degrees in the
West to 29 degrees in the East. Precipitation totaled 2.85 inches statewide which was 1.6 inches below normal.
Precipitation totals by climate division, West 3.03 inches, Central 3.30 inches, Bluegrass 2.33 inches and East
2.76 inches, which was 1.85, 1.52, 1.54 and 1.47 inches below normal.
