Good afternoon, folks. Our storm system is rolling into the region and brining a wintry mix before the heavy rains set in. That heavy rain may lead to flooding issues in the coming days, with another big storm system lurking for the upcoming weekend.

A Winter Weather Advisory is out for areas along and north of Interstate 64 this evening into the wee hours of Wednesday morning…

Light accumulations of snow and freezing rain will be possible before rain takes over from south to north. Heavy rain then kicks in tonight through Wednesday night, with a few rumbles of thunder possible. Rainfall totals of 1″-3″ are likely during this time.

Here’s regional radar to track the action in from the south…

General flooding and river flooding will be possible from this event. I will have the latest on WKYT starting at 4pm and then again on KWC this evening.

After a break on Thursday, rain returns for Friday as another major storm system develops across the plains. That will roll toward the Great Lakes, with mild and humid air surging our way ahead of it. This will spawn rounds showers and thunderstorms from Friday night through Saturday night…

That could drop another 1″-3″ of rain across the region, leading to more flooding issues. Some of the storms may also become strong or severe. The SPC has a rare outlook already out for the western half of the state for Saturday…

Another system moves early next week and unleashes a much colder pattern as we close out the month and head into March.

We’ve been talking about the cold, but can we get some snow chances for March? If you’re a snow lover, lock in the GFS…

That’s only 12 days away… What could go wrong? #teamspring

Have a good one and take care.
