UPDATED · 5:05 a.m. ET · WEATHER / OFFICIAL WARNING
The freeze warning was re-issued at 4:04 a.m. and now carries a full 10 a.m. expiry; the airport slipped back above freezing at 34°
NWS Louisville re-issued the freeze warning covering Fayette County at 4:04 a.m. ET, and the new message expires at 10 a.m. — the same time as its stated end, which the 9:04 a.m. Saturday version did not: that one expired at 5 a.m., five hours before the warning was due to end, and this page flagged the mismatch in the 3:07 a.m. pass. The substance is unchanged. Sub-freezing temperatures “as low as the upper 20s” are still forecast, the same long county list is in the alert (Fayette, Woodford, Jessamine, Clark, Madison, Boyle, Garrard, Mercer, Anderson and Scott among them), and the impact language is still crops, sensitive vegetation and possibly unprotected outdoor plumbing. At the airport the 3:54 a.m. observation read 1.1 C — about 34°F — under clear skies, with humidity at 92 percent and a 5 mph wind from the south, so the local station is back above freezing after the 2:25 a.m. reading of 0 C. The point forecast was refreshed in the same window: widespread frost before 9 a.m. and a sunny high near 59; a clear Sunday night with a low near 37; patchy frost before 8 a.m. Monday and a high near 61; patchy frost before 7 a.m. Tuesday and a high near 65; and mostly sunny and 64 for Veterans Day. The warning’s regional text and Lexington’s point forecast still describe different zones — the upper 20s in the advisory, roughly freezing at the airport — so LEX13 reports both and does not reconcile them. Alerts and observations are revised continuously; LEX13 has not observed conditions on the ground.

Lexington firefighters’ toy program moves to Baptist Health Hamburg after losing its planned space; sign-ups open Monday
WKYT reports the Lexington Fraternal Order of Firefighters’ annual toy program has a new home for the holidays: the second floor of Baptist Health Hamburg at 3000 Baptist Health Boulevard, off Polo Club. The drive had been set for the old Isaac’s House Warmings building, but the outlet reports the building’s owners withdrew permission, leaving the program with a late need for a venue. Sign-ups begin Monday, Nov. 9, and the outlet says signage and staff will be in place at the hospital to direct families. New, unwrapped toys can be donated at any Lexington fire station. The outlet quotes the organization’s vice president, Lt. Shane Larkin, saying Baptist Health “stepped in and saved the 2026 program.” The report gives no eligibility rules, age ranges, income guidelines or distribution dates, and LEX13 has not seen the program’s own sign-up materials.

African Children’s Choir brings 18 children from Uganda — and a school-funding mission — to a Lexington church
LEX 18 reported late Saturday on the African Children’s Choir at First Alliance Church in Lexington: 18 children from Uganda, 10 girls and eight boys, performing a cappella harmonies, African drumming and traditional dance. Director Tina Sipp told the outlet the children come from vulnerable circumstances and did not know English as recently as February; since then they have attended school, caught up to a third-grade level and learned an 80-minute performance in a second language. Four of the choir’s African chaperones were once choir members themselves, and the organization says it has helped educate more than 54,000 children over 42 years. The report describes the program and the performance; it gives no attendance figure, ticket price or remaining tour dates, and LEX13 did not attend.

A second outlet puts Kentucky’s loss at Tennessee at 34-6; fans watched from LexLive, and Florida visits on Nov. 14
LEX 18’s game story gives the final as 34-6, with Kentucky scoring only on two Adam Zouaghi field goals; the earlier edition withheld the score because WKYT’s own story opened by calling it “27-6 … 34-6” in one sentence. WKYT’s account also carries 34-6, and its detail that all of Kentucky’s points came on field goals matches LEX 18’s two-field-goal description, so LEX13 now publishes 34-6. The two outlets do not agree on the rankings: WKYT’s headline calls Kentucky No. 8 and Tennessee No. 16, while LEX 18 calls them No. 6 and No. 13. WKYT also reported that Kentucky fans who did not travel to Knoxville gathered at LexLive in downtown Lexington to watch, and that the room cooled as the Wildcats fell behind and did not complete a comeback — an outlet’s description of people at a public venue, not a count of how many came or a measure of what the city thought. Kentucky (7-2, 5-2 SEC) hosts Florida at Kroger Field on Nov. 14 for an ESPN night game, per WKYT, then travels to Missouri and closes the regular season against Louisville.

FCPS opens 2027-28 enrollment with 30-plus specialized programs; families browsed them at Tates Creek
Fayette County Public Schools held its Innovation Showcase at Tates Creek High School on Saturday afternoon, WKYT reports, where families met program leaders for more than 30 Magnet, Gifted & Talented, Career & Technical Education and other specialized programs serving every grade level, including engineering, music and the natural sciences. Enrollment for the 2027-28 school year is open. Program manager Vee Pryor told the outlet some students do not know the programs exist or assume they cost money, and that they are free public school programs; 10th-grade student Zion Ford described talking with several programs in one place. This is an outlet report of a Saturday event — the district’s own enrollment deadlines and application windows are not stated in the report.

No. 23 Kentucky beat James Madison 89-80 at Rupp after a 39-all first half; No. 17 Kansas is next, Tuesday in Chicago
Kentucky men’s basketball is 2-0 after a 89-80 win over James Madison at Rupp Arena on Friday night, both Lexington outlets report. WKYT’s account has junior Zoom Diallo and sophomore Alex Wilkins tied for the team high with 16 points each, and three bench players in double figures — senior Justin McBride 13, freshman Mason Williams 12 and freshman Braydon Hawthrone 10 — with the Dukes ahead 56-54 with 13:59 to play before Kentucky took the lead for good. LEX 18’s report has nine lead changes and three ties on the way to a 39-all halftime, notes that JMU coach Preston Spradlin returned to Rupp after working as a UK graduate assistant and as Morehead State’s head coach, and that McBride played against his former team. The two accounts differ on the size of the decisive second-half run, so LEX13 does not publish one. WKYT reports Kentucky next faces No. 17 Kansas on Tuesday in the State Farm Champions Classic in Chicago. The Rupp date appeared in earlier editions as a venue listing; this is the result. LEX13 has no attendance figure and did not attend.

Transylvania’s new animal-behavior center runs a dog lab that has studied more than 800 dogs
LEX 18 reports Transylvania University has opened a Center for Animal Behavior, Cognition, and Well-Being, built around its Dog Behavior and Cognition Lab, which psychology and neuroscience professors Ellen Furlong of Transylvania and Rebecca Singer of Berea College started two years ago. The outlet says more than 50 students across the two schools have taken part in trials involving more than 800 dogs, focused on how dogs make choices; two dogs, Bailey and Hal, were in trials when the outlet visited. Furlong told the outlet the lab applies what it learns about canine thinking to the animals’ welfare, and Singer described students moving from observers and workers to “full blown scholars.” The story links a form for owners who want their dogs to take part. It describes the center’s research and teaching but gives no opening date, budget, student-enrollment total or outside funding. LEX 18 discloses on the page that the story was converted to its publishing platform with AI assistance and that its editorial team verifies reporting.

155 children received free dental care at Rupp Arena in what WKYT calls Team Smile’s first Kentucky event
WKYT reports 155 children received free dental care at Rupp Arena on Friday, in an event put on by the nonprofit Team Smile, which partners with professional and collegiate teams and with local dentists to build a tailgate-style clinic. Dr. Zindell Richardson told the outlet many of the children had never been to a dentist and described the visit as a chance to teach how dental health affects the rest of the body. The outlet describes the clinic as the organization’s first in the commonwealth. This is its report of Friday’s event; it gives no cost, no sponsor list and no follow-up schedule.

Lexington police told the outlet that two vehicles were involved and that no injuries or charges are expected.

State of Downtown: partnership says Lexington’s project pipeline passed $5 billion since 2015
The Downtown Lexington Partnership held its annual State of Downtown meeting on Thursday, WKYT reports, drawing leaders from a roster of more than 140 local businesses. Housing, the University of Kentucky’s growing footprint and how to keep downtown’s momentum going led the agenda; executive director Alan McDaniel called downtown “the heart of our city.” The keynote came from Jason Ilstrup, president of Downtown Madison, Inc. in Wisconsin, as part of a peer-city exchange that began when Lexington leaders visited Madison last year; Ilstrup said both college towns face the same task of absorbing growth without pricing residents out. The partnership’s 2026 State of Downtown report says the project pipeline has passed $5 billion in investment since 2015, driven by UK, nonprofits and private development, and UK spokesperson Jay Blanton told the outlet the city’s and the university’s futures are “inextricably linked.” The $5 billion figure is the partnership’s own summary; LEX13 has not audited it.

Film Lexington and a location-managers guild put Central Kentucky students through a two-day production workshop
WKYT reports students from six Central Kentucky colleges and universities, plus Fayette County Public Schools, filled the Farish Theater for a two-day workshop on location management run by Film Lexington with the Location Managers Guild International. Asbury University dean Jim Owens told the outlet many students arrive thinking only of directing or producing and do not realize how many other film jobs exist; guild secretary Andrea Keener said the aim is to sharpen students’ eye for scouting locations and to show what Kentucky offers beyond “horse and bourbon.” Lisa Brin, who heads Film Lexington, described the state’s entertainment incentive as a 30 to 35 percent refundable tax credit with an additional 5 percent for hiring in-state crews, and the outlet reports Gov. Andy Beshear has said the industry has brought more than $400 million to the commonwealth since 2022. The $400 million figure is the governor’s, as relayed by the outlet; LEX13 has not verified it independently, and the report gives no attendance count.

Legendary Festival of Lights publishes its hours: Nov. 20 to Jan. 2, walk-through, last entry 8:30 on weeknights
Earlier editions of this page carried the Lexington Legends’ Festival of Lights only as a pair of dates. The club’s own event page and FAQ now supply the operating detail. The festival runs Nov. 20, 2026, through Jan. 2, 2027, at CommonSpirit Ballpark, 207 Legends Lane, just off I-75 exit 113. Sundays through Thursdays the field is open 5 to 9 p.m. with last entry at 8:30; Fridays and Saturdays 5 to 10 p.m. with last entry at 9:30. It is a walk-through event, not a drive-through one — patrons make a circuit of the ballpark and field past the displays — with no limit on how long a ticket holder stays, a stamp for same-night re-entry, concessions open, and no strobe effects, though the club says some sections use flashing lights. The ballpark is cashless, with prepaid “Mighty Money” sold at the ticket office or guest services. Santa appears on certain nights, and the club points to its events page for which ones rather than listing them; the site also carries a “Trees of Hope” page and a vendor-market inquiry form. The ticket list on the club’s homepage shows individual 5 p.m. nights beginning with opening night on Nov. 20, then Nov. 21, 22, 25 and 27, plus a season-pass listing dated Nov. 19. No ticket prices, expected attendance or sales figures are published, and LEX13 has not attended.

The Christmas pageant at the Opera House adds a fourth public show — Sunday, Dec. 6 at 2 — and the theatre publishes full price tiers
This page carried Lexington Children’s Theatre’s “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever: The Musical” from LEX 18’s Nov. 7 community segment, which listed three performances and no prices. The theatre’s own show page is more complete. Public performances are Sunday, Nov. 29 at 2 p.m.; Saturday, Dec. 5 at 2 and 7 p.m., the evening show pay-what-you-will; and Sunday, Dec. 6 at 2 p.m. — a fourth show the earlier listing did not have. Tickets are $65 box, $37 premium, $32 preferred, $27 standard and $22 value; the production runs about an hour, is recommended for ages 5 and up, and plays the Lexington Opera House, 418 West Short Street. Pay-what-you-will seats can be bought online or through the box office at (859) 254-4546 extension 245 by naming the number of seats and the amount, and that programme is sponsored by the Kentucky American Water Charitable Foundation. Separately, the theatre’s school field-trip matinees run Nov. 30 through Dec. 7 at 10 a.m. and noon on weekdays, at $12 a seat for school groups. The page does not state how many seats are available at any price, and LEX13 has not attended. This is the organizer’s schedule; the LEX 18 segment remains the outlet’s promotion of the same production.

Library branch event pages do load: a free family photo session Dec. 8 at Tates Creek, registration from Nov. 16
This page has repeatedly recorded the Lexington Public Library’s events host as a script shell, because the monthly calendar at events.lexpublib.org renders nothing to a plain request. Individual branch event pages on the library’s Communico host do render, and one sits directly on the holiday calendar: “Free Holiday Family Photo” at the Tates Creek Branch large meeting room on Tuesday, Dec. 8, 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., with members of the Creative Camera Club taking a free digital family photo. Registration opens Nov. 16. The page lists the audience as families and adults 18 and over, tags the session a special event, and gives the branch number as (859) 231-5500; it states no cost beyond the word “Free,” no capacity, and no guidance on what families should bring. The library’s closures page is unchanged from the earlier checks: all locations close at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 25, and stay closed Thursday, Nov. 26, for Thanksgiving; close Friday, Dec. 4, for staff training; and close Dec. 24 and 25.
