Good evening, folks. Our super duper active weather pattern kicks into high gear for the week ahead as several systems roll into the region. The first brings a swath of light snow Monday night and Tuesday, with the next two set to bring a lot of rain.

The Monday night and Tuesday system has been on our radar for many days now. The models had been cutting this system to the Great Lakes but our southward correction was on to something. As a matter of fact, the models have corrected so far south that mainly southern and southeastern Kentucky look to get in on some snow. This is a fast-moving system, but it can throw down light accumulations. Here’s the area with the best chance of seeing some snow on the ground…

That system zips through very quickly, so you only have a small window of opportunity to get snow from this. I will probably be able to put out a First Call For Snowfall map later tonight.

We have been targeting late next week through early the following week for the possibility of flooding rains around here. The focus area remains unchanged…

The first big heavy rain maker rolls into the region late Thursday and likely takes us through Saturday. Rounds of rain and some strong thunderstorms will be possible during this time. Here are the rain numbers from just this first system…

GFS

Euro

Obviously, you are going to see variation from model to model and run to run, but the main takeaway is still the same… A lot of rain will fall from this first storm.

Sunday looks to give us a brief break in the action, but the next big rain maker looks to move in by Monday and Tuesday. Check out the rainfall numbers from just that storm on the Euro…

The sad thing is, we could get another system to come in behind that one later next week.

I’ll see you guys for an update later tonight, so check back. Until then, enjoy your Sunday evening and take care.
