Good Wednesday, everyone. We have a small break in the rainy weather, but don’t get too comfortable with it, a lot of rain is on the way. Rounds of rain return as early as Thursday, with the potential for even heavier rain this weekend and early next week.

All of this can lead to, at least, some local high water issues.

Ahead of the next round of rain comes a fairly nice day out there today. Some early day misty showers or drizzle is possible with clouds will hang tough all day. Highs will generally be in the 40s for most.

Rain and some thunder will quickly return from the southwest on Thursday and last into early Friday…

Another 1″-2″ of rain is possible with this system, with locally higher amounts for some in the west and central. Flash flooding is possible with this round.

The rain should move out pretty quickly on Friday as temps surge into the 60s. This carries us into the weekend and a much bigger system set to impact your weather. This comes as a huge upper level low spins into the region and closes off. The end result is a spiraling system of heavy rain, thunderstorms and wind.

The first round of rain comes as this system begins to come together on Saturday…

By Sunday and Monday, this bad boy really gets cranking with the GFS taking this system right on top of us…

The European Model is just a little farther south…

Once that system finally works to our east, Old Man Winter starts to flex some muscle. This continues to look to be another case of the second half of winter being the main show.

The cold look starts to show up by the middle and end of next week, with even colder air arriving a few days later. The Ensembles continue with a cold look…

I will have updates later today. Until then, enjoy your Wednesday and take care.
