Good afternoon, everyone. The heavy rain train is slowly working out of Kentucky, with a taste of winter coming in behind it. That may lead to some pockets of travel issues by Monday morning. As we look ahead to the week ahead, I see another flood threat taking shape.

Let’s begin with the setup out there today. A 30-35 degree temperature drop is occurring behind the cold front working east. As that cold air moves in, things begin to slow down in terms of precipitation. That’s great news, as parts of southeastern Kentucky have picked up more than 5″ of rain. Extensive flooding is underway in many areas.

Here are the radars to track the remaining rains…

Cold air continues to press in through tonight, with a band of wintry weather developing across the central and east…

That may put down some VERY light accumulations in a few spots, leading to some slick spots developing. Overall, this really isn’t a big deal.

Leftover showers will be noted for Tuesday, but another increase in rain begins Wednesday and carries us through Friday. Heavy rain and thunderstorms will be likely, with a switch to snow possible by late Friday. This will be followed up by a few more active systems. Here’s how the Canadian sees it…

The GFS…

A lot of moisture may fall during this time. The GFS has some 5″-6″ rains showing up over the next week and change…

I’m not liking the looks of this pattern over the next few weeks. We have mentioned it before on here, but Kentucky is long overdue for a decent river flooding event.

Enjoy the rest of your day and take care.
