Good afternoon, everyone. As expected, a dying band of showers and thunderstorms is kicking off the afternoon, but the focus is on additional development later today and tonight. Heavy rain is becoming increasingly likely, especially across central Kentucky. This may lead to some local flooding issues tonight and early Sunday.

The overall severe storms threat is lower, but the high water threat is now higher. Look at the rain numbers coming from the models…

Most of that will fall within a 12 hour window. Given our soggy spring, let’s keep a close eye on water levels overnight and early Sunday.

The heavy rains will taper off quickly from west to east later Sunday, with much colder air sweeping in from the northwest. That northwesterly flow will touch off some snow showers and flurries from late Sunday night into Monday. There is even the chance for a rooftop coating…

At some point you just have to laugh to keep from crying. 🙂

Here are your tracking tools to get you through the rest of the day…
