Good Saturday, everyone. We have another dry day across the bluegrass state and you should soak it up because another big rain event is on the way. This begins later Sunday and rolls through the first half of the week, with another lurking by the end of the week.

As the first system moves in here on Sunday, a period of frozen precipitation is possible at the beginning. The NAM is showing a period of freezing rain and some snow to start…

I will have another update later today. Until then, make it a good one and take care.
