Good afternoon, everyone. I wanted to drop by for a quick update on the next round of heavy rain moving our way. This arrives on the final day of February and continues into the first day of March, and may will likely cause renewed high water concerns.
Wednesday into Thursday should feature a general 1″-2″ of rain, with locally higher amounts. The models are showing the usual spread from a few days out, but I think the NAM is trending closer to reality than the GFS.
Here’s the NAM rainfall…
The GFS is too far south with that big slug of rain…
The Canadian Model backs up the NAM, with greater than 2″ rains falling across the southern half of the state…
We need to watch the heaviest band of rain to shift north in future runs. Obviously, that would be make a bad situation even worse.
Moral of the weather story: Flooding rains are possible again on Wednesday and Thursday.
Flooding is already ongoing in many areas, especially along the Ohio River. Here’s an update on the current warnings and the mighty Ohio…
I will have the latest on WKYT-TV starting at 4pm. Another update on KWC comes your way this evening. Make it a good one and take care.
#TeamSpring
Hashtags will not make Spring arrive any sooner.
WOW, what a revelation, I always thought hashtags were the answer to everything…. I don’t know how to thank you for your wisdom and candor!
I guess Chris Bailey is also put on notice that #TeamSpring isn’t going to help spring get here any faster.
Spring type weather has been here for several weeks.
Just not spring.
Jeff, stop being such a Ham-lin 😉
Duly noted, BubbaSHAAK
This is probably wishcasting, but hopefully the NAM is exhibiting its often precipitation-hyped bias (uh, see Tennessee); the Canadian looks better, so there must be something wrong there, but seriously the 2″ amounts this week looks okay but perhaps a tad too north. One of our Mets here in Louisville is thinking moisture blocking from strong storms to the south might help lower precipitation amounts farther north, but higher amounts south toward TN/KY border.
Is that what BG said? lol
I think so.
I hit the 12 inch rainfall mark for the month-to-date after these morning showers subsided…..geeze. I have a foot of rain for Feb and less than 1 inch of snow…go figure!
#teamspring
Watch it, Jeff Hamlin warns that hashtags won’t make spring come faster….
Awww, somebody got triggered.
IDK, Im not the one that had to make snarky comments about hashtags…. :-/
That’s just Mr. Hamlin being his troll self. He’s not as bad as the Admiral though.
I see SHAAK is back to spewing his usual lies.
Which part was a lie. 😉 j/k
SHAAK loves making false statements about me.
