No Hype.
No Clickbait.
Just Honest Forecasting.
KYWX Report was built by one frustrated weather lover who got tired of sensationalized headlines and vague forecasts.
The Problem with Weather Forecasts
Sensationalized Headlines
"SNOWMAGEDDON!" "POLAR VORTEX APOCALYPSE!" Media outlets compete for clicks with fear-mongering language that rarely matches reality.
Vague Predictions
"A wintry mix is possible." What does that mean? How much? When? Where exactly? Too often, forecasts lack the specificity people need to plan.
One-Size-Fits-All
Kentucky spans 400 miles from the Mississippi to the Appalachians. A forecast for "Kentucky" is useless when Paducah gets rain while Harlan gets 8 inches of snow.
How This Works
AI Analyzes Multiple Weather Models
Every forecast starts with raw data from professional weather models: NAM, GFS, ECMWF, and HRRR. These models simulate the atmosphere using physics equations and supercomputers, but they often disagree with each other.
We read every model's output for Kentucky—examining temperature profiles, moisture content, wind patterns, and atmospheric stability at multiple levels.
Resolves Model Disagreements
When NAM shows freezing rain in Lexington but ECMWF shows all snow, the AI doesn't just average them. It evaluates which model has the better track record for similar setups in Kentucky's climate.
The forecast explains these "model battles" transparently, showing you what different models predict and why one was chosen over another. No hiding the uncertainty - you see exactly where confidence is high or low.
Creates Region-Specific Forecasts
Kentucky is divided into 12 distinct climate regions, from the warm Purchase Area to the frigid Northern Kentucky valleys. Each region gets its own tailored forecast accounting for local topography and climate patterns.
The Muldraugh Escarpment near Elizabethtown? That ridge creates sharp precipitation gradients. The Ohio River valley? Cold air drains there differently than the plateau. Our AI model knows these details and factors them into every forecast.
Explains the "Why" Behind Every Forecast
You don't just get a temperature and precipitation chance. You get the atmospheric reasoning: jet stream positioning, thermal profiles, moisture transport, dynamic forcing mechanisms.
Technical? Yes. But also honest. Weather forecasting is complex, and this site doesn't dumb it down. If you want to understand why it's snowing, you can read the synoptic deep-dive. If you just want the bottom line, the summary gives you that too.
What Makes This Different
No Ads, No Paywalls
This is a passion project, not a business. There are no ads cluttering the page, no premium tiers, no data being sold. Just weather.
Transparent Confidence Scores
Every forecast includes a confidence percentage and explains what drives it. High agreement across models? 90% confidence. Models disagree wildly? Maybe 55%. You deserve to know when forecasters are guessing.
Boom/Bust Scenarios
Weather isn't a single outcome—it's a range of possibilities. Every forecast shows the "boom" scenario (worst case) and "bust" scenario (best case) so you can plan for the full spectrum.
Raw Model Data Included
Want to see the actual NAM or GFS charts? They're right there on the page. No gatekeeping—you can verify the AI's interpretation against the source data yourself.
Built for Weather Enthusiasts
This site is written for people who want to understand the atmosphere, not just be told what to wear tomorrow. If you've ever wondered "why" during a weather event, this is for you.
Who Made This?
I'm a developer and weather enthusiast based in Kentucky. After years of frustration with local weather coverage - the endless "chance of snow" teases, the breathless BREAKING NEWS alerts for rain showers, the complete lack of regional specificity, I decided to build something better.
This started as a weekend project: "Can AI parse weather model output and generate a coherent forecast?" The answer was yes, but only if you teach it Kentucky's climate quirks. Months of refinement later, here we are.
Is this perfect? No. Weather forecasting is hard, and even the best meteorologists get it wrong sometimes. But this approach is honest, transparent, and built for people who want substance over sensationalism.
Limitations & Disclaimers
This is an experimental project. It's not operated by the National Weather Service or a professional meteorology organization. Use it as one tool among many.
AI can make mistakes. The forecasts are generated by analyzing weather models, but AI interpretation isn't perfect. Always cross-reference with official NWS forecasts for severe weather.
Severe weather warnings come from NWS. This site doesn't issue watches or warnings. For tornado warnings, severe thunderstorm warnings, or flash flood warnings, monitor NOAA Weather Radio and local emergency alerts.
Data freshness varies. Forecasts are updated when new model runs are available, typically every 6 hours. Check the timestamp on each forecast.
