Good Saturday, everyone. February is closing out on a frigid note and that comes as a shock to absolutely no one. This has been a legendary month of winter weather across the bluegrass state. What about the start of March? Things are looking wild as we have a TON of weather on the way over the next several days.

A series of storm systems will roll across the region starting Sunday and each of these will deliver a lot of different weather. Everything from freezing rain to rain to high water to thunder to snow and sleet will all be possible in the coming days.

We start to get the first system to throw precipitation our way later tonight and early Sunday. This will be in the form of a mix of freezing rain and rain with some snow possible in the north. All that may change to plain rain during the day Sunday, but go back to a mix or some light snow Sunday night and early Monday. That’s when temps drop again behind a front that sags southward through the region.

That front then slowly lifts to the north as a warm front on Tuesday. Overrunning moisture from this may be in the form of freezing rain to start the day. Here’s the NAM…

The GFS also shows the freezing rain…

Temps will BRIEFLY spike late Tuesday into early Wednesday. That’s when heavy rain and some thunderstorms could blossom across the region. It’s during this time we will have to keep watch on our waterways for the potential of high water issues developing.

A strong cold front will then swing in here on Wednesday as a wave of low pressure develops along it…

That scenario has been showing up with each and every run of the GFS in recent days. Most of the other forecast models have something similar. Here’s where the GFS spits out winter precipitation…

Told ya there were a lot of possibilities on the table for next week. 😉 Let’s sit back and see how many of them come to pass.

I have a busy day of events on tap, but will try to update at some point. I will be tweeting thoughts as needed.

Enjoy your Saturday and take care.
