Very little severe weather was observed this month, with damage reports restricted to isolated instances of trees blown down in locally strong storms. The remnants of Hurricane Laura traveled the length of Kentucky on the 28th, but just knocked down some trees in Russellville and brought less than two inches of rain to the region. There were no significant hot or cold spells; no daily average temperature during the month was more than 8 degrees away from normal at any of the climate observation sites.

Repeated rounds of showers and thunderstorms kept humidity levels high and vegetation green.
