Good afternoon, gang. I wanted to drop by for an update on the storm moving in tonight and Wednesday. Overall, my thoughts have not changed and the models are now lining up with our thinking from the past several days.

A Winter Weather Advisory is out for much of the region into Wednesday, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see an upgrade to a warning for a few areas…

The Advisory matches up well with the area we’ve been highlighting for the potential of freezing rain and some snow…

The GFS freezing rain forecast matches up very well and shows some local .50″+ amounts…

Areas of northern Kentucky have the best chance at seeing accumulating snows from this, with a few inches possible…

Most areas will switch to some light snow as this mess comes to an end from west to east on Wednesday.

The other aspect of this storm is heavy rain. Local high water issues are possible across Kentucky, especially the south and east. Amounts of 2.5″ will be possible in less than 12 hours…

Those kinds of numbers on a semi-frozen ground can produce extensive runoff that can cause some flooding. Flash Flood Watches would be more than justified in this setup.

I will have the latest on WKYT-TV starting at 4pm and will have another blog update this evening.

Make it a good one and take care.
