Good Thursday, everyone. It’s another absolutely soggy day across the bluegrass state, as additional rounds of showers and storms work through here. This keeps the flood and flash flood threat going through the evening hours, at least.
Another 1″-3″ may fall today in some areas, especially in a southwest to northeast corridor. Folks within this region have the greatest threat for seeing flooding issues develop. If you live in a low-lying or flood-prone area, please continue to stay alert to the flood potential.
Here are the latest watches and warnings…
Leftover showers will slowly disappear on Friday, with a cooler wind blowing some better weather into the region. That lasts into Saturday, but quickly changes by the late afternoon and evening. That’s when showers return ahead of a cold front. Those showers last into VERY early on Easter Sunday, then exit east.
Easter Sunday afternoon is better, but another fast-moving system arrives that night into Monday. That has some mainly cold rains with it, but a flake can’t be ruled out.
After that, spring and winter continue their epic battle, leading to some wild temp swings and potential storms. Here’s the middle of next week…
How about the first weekend of April on the GFS…
The same period on the Canadian…
True spring is still a long way away, my friends. Sigh.
Let’s get back to where we are right now. Your radars will help you track today’s heavy rain and flood threat…
I will update things again later today, so stop back in. Have a good one and take care.
I don’t think true Spring is all that far away.
I wish you were right….I don’t think you are, though.
I don’t think the models are right myself. 🙂
With the model runs nearly and a week away and the famous NW SHIFT, I am a bit skeptical on snow for next week south of the Ohio River. It may happen, but at least for now, SE KY is only running as rain and this will probably set-up even farther north than currently depicted.
Thanks Chris for your continuing updates on the potential flooding for parts of the state. I agree with the weather models you presented on your blog this morning, that we are going to have a late Spring. Like I said in earlier post, it’s the solar phase we are currently in, a theory I happen to believe in. As for any accumulating snow, I would not take it off the table. Back on April eight,1971 in Evansville, Indiana ten inches of snow fell and recorded at Dress Regional Airport. Have a great day everyone, and all those in flood prong areas stay alert and stay safe.
Late Spring – or no Spring. I think about the 4th week of April we’ll hit the mid 80s and won’t look back. Straight to Summer. At this point, I won’t complain.
Can’t complain, it never does any good.
