Resize Text: Kentucky's location within the broad, central part of the country provides an ideal place for the state to experience a wide variety of weather. It is one of the battleground states for cold, dry air moving south from Canada and warm, moist air moving north from the Gulf of Mexico. Each year, many cyclones cross the state and tap these disparate air masses to create a vast range of weather conditions.
