Good afternoon, everyone and Happy New Year! As we leave behind the things that held us back in 2019, here’s hoping we all soar to new heights in 2020. The new year is off and running with plenty of sunshine, but it heavy rain and some winter weather are ready to return.

Our first item up for bids is a potential flood maker Thursday through early Saturday. I have zero changes to my thoughts with a general 1″-2″ of rain, with some 3″ amounts possible in the south and southeast…

With a saturated ground and already swollen waterways, it won’t take much to cause renewed high water issues. I would expect Flood Watches to be issued later today or early Thursday.

The 6z run of the Euro continues to match my thoughts…

The GFS is so disjointed with the whole setup that it continues to have a hard time focusing on the rain potential…

It is increasing the totals as we get closer, though. Knowing model biases in certain setups comes in very handy.

A Saturday low pressure looks to wrap up across our region as it lifts to the north and northeast. This is why the Euro has been showing better snow chances. Now we have the NAM trying to do the same thing…

The 6z EURO only goes through Saturday evening, but it looks even more pronounced than the overnight run…

The system coming in behind that continues to have potential for Tuesday and Wednesday or next week…

I will have the latest on WKYT-TV starting at 4pm and again on KWC this evening. Have a wonderful New Year’s Day and take care.
