Good Sunday, folks. Rounds of showers and thunderstorms are beginning to rumble across Kentucky and this is a sign of things to come. It is not going to rain the entire day or the entire week ahead, but when it does… watch out. The atmosphere is loaded with moisture and can put down some very heavy rains.

The models continue to key on this heavy rain threat… Today in the west then into central and eastern Kentucky over the next several days. The numbers from the European Model suggest a flash flood threat…

The GFS shows something similar over the next week…

When I start seeing models spitting our 5″ amounts over the same general area, the “uh-oh” alarm goes off in my head. We will need to really watch the local flash flood threat in the coming days.

The overall pattern places our region in between a shot of cool in the northeast and a surge of big heat in the plains…

EuroThat often leads to stormy weather in our part of the world with warm temps and high humidity levels.

Have a great day and take care.
