Good evening, folks. Our big storm system is getting closer and closer and is going to have a major impact on our weather for Wednesday and Halloween. This will bring a lot of different weather to the region, with heavy rain, strong storms, gusty winds, crashing temps and an outside chance for a few snowflakes.

Let’s review the headlines…

  • Heavy rain and thunderstorms roll in on Wednesday and continue through Thursday as a few waves of low pressure move through.
  • The main low works right on top of us Halloween
  • Heavy rainfall of 1″-3″ will be possible across the entire state.
  • Wind gusts of greater than 30mph-40mph will be likely.
  • A few strong to severe storms are also possible starting Wednesday afternoon. The Storm Prediction Center has us in a Marginal Risk for severe storms…

  • Temps crash from west to east on Halloween. We will be in the 60s during the morning with the 30s by late afternoon and early evening. Check out the temp trend from 8am Thursday through 11pm Thursday evening…
  • Wind chill temps will be even colder and absolutely frigid for this time of year…
  • There continues to be a small chance for the cold air to catch the back edge of the departing rain shield by Halloween evening. That could bring a few flakes of snow mixing in with the rain across central and eastern Kentucky. The Hi Res NAM continues to see a couple of flakes…

The Canadian sees a little better chance…

So does the GFS…

So, there are multiple models spitting out the first flakes of the season. Again… It would just be a few flakes if we get them, but that’s still pretty awesome to see.

I will see you guys for another update later tonight. Make it a good one and take care.
