Good Friday afternoon, gang. It’s ugly out there! Rain, wind and chilly temps continue to dominate the weather across much of our part of the world. A huge storm system continues to develop across the Mid Atlantic and throw rounds of rain into Kentucky.

These rains will be heavy at times with winds gusting to 35mph at times. I can’t rule out a 40mph gust somewhere out there.

I’m finally liking what the GFS is cooking with the east coast storm and with Joaquin. The two stay separate with a Thewave of heavy rain working westward into Kentucky early Saturday…

The model then brings that slow-moving band of heavy rain into eastern and central Kentucky through Saturday evening…

GFS 2

If that’s correct, local high water issues could develop. Check out the rain totals from this run…

GFS 3

Winds will continue to be gusty with temps in the 50s.

In case you missed it last weekend, here’s the map I created showing the pattern I thought would be setting up for today…

Special 3

Not too bad… I’ll take it. Don’t hate on my shameless plug of my mad forecasting skillz. 🙂

I’ll focus more on where we go over the next few weeks with my regular late night update. Until then, track the cold Kentucky rain…

 

 

Take care.
