Good Wednesday, everyone. We have rounds of heavy rain rolling across the region today, bringing the potential for high water. This is the first of two systems set to bring a lot of rain our way through the coming weekend. That second system may even bring a few strong or severe storms.

As our Wednesday wears on, the rain slows down from west to east, with the last rains getting out of eastern Kentucky later tonight. Here are your tracking tools for the start of the day…

The greatest flood threat this morning is in the west, then the focus shifts farther east as the day goes on.

We will catch a break from the rain on Thursday, but the next system throws showers and some thunderstorms our way by Friday. This is going to be a very powerful storm system developing in the plains and rolling toward the western Great Lakes this weekend. It will likely produce a blizzard behind it and severe weather and flooding ahead of it…

 Strong to severe storms and high winds will be possible across Kentucky and surrounding areas. This setup can also produce significant rainfall, leading to additional flooding issues developing. The Euro continues to spit out some big time totals from Friday through Sunday…

In order to get out of this pattern, we need the flip this pattern around and that’s exactly what looks to happen next week into early March. This is a vey cold signal for much of the country…

I will have updates later today, so check back. Make it a good one and take care.
