Good Tuesday afternoon gang. I wanted to drop back in to say…
This is a regional holiday in Mexico that is often celebrated here in the states as well. I am convinced the celebration here in the USA was first observed by college kids looking for yet another excuse to party. 
On a side note… RIP Dom DeLuise!
The actor and comedian passed away last night at the age of 75. He was a funny guy and I loved him in the Cannonball Run Movies.
That is it for what is truly a random post from me! My earlier “serious” weather post is below so check it out. Have a good afternoon and evening and take care.
Good Tuesday gang and thanks for dropping by the blog. We are coming off a period of very heavy rains and flooding across much of the region and the last thing we need is more of the same. Unfortunately, it looks like that is a real possibility this week with several chances for rain and storms that can cause more high water concerns.
Most of the region picked up form 1″-5″ of rain over the past few days with the greatest concentration across southern and eastern Kentucky. This is the same area that has a chance at picking up on some more showers today. These should not be heavy enough to cause any flood concerns today… but they will act to keep the ground soggy. Here is the radar to track the scattered showers…
As we head into the day on Wednesday… a cluster of rain and thunderstorms will be forming to our southwest in Tennessee as a wave of low pressure gathers steam. This will lift northeastward toward us and could bring a big complex of rain and storms through here that would be accompanied by heavy rains. The NAM and the GFS are both beginning to pick up on this…
Those totals are only through Wednesday Night. The NAM is the farthest northwest right now and given how this last round of heavy rain managed to sneak farther northwest… we cannot discount it. Regardless… both models show at least an inch of rain being possible across our region.
Unlike the last heavy rain event… this system should actually be able to produce thunderstorms which may aid in the overall flash flood threat. Some of these storms may become severe as well and the Storm Prediction Center has us in a risk for severe storms…
Just another thing for us to watch!
Beyond Wednesday… more rounds of heavy rain and storms will likely develop Thursday into the coming weekend. This will continue our flood threat and severe weather threat.
Overall, this is a very stormy pattern and is one that we REALLY need to keep a close eye on over the next several days. The blog will be doing just that so keep checking back with us.
Have a great Tuesday and take care.

Crystal me and mine will be praying for you and yours during your time of grief
Oh Crystal…my heart goes out to you. The eulogy you wrote is beautiful, and a great tribute to your mother. My prayers are with you.
Crystal, I am so sorry, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Crystal,
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. You have great memories and a big heart. May God Bless You!
Oh Crystal, I am so sorry for your loss.
Lets hope we dry out enough to get a couple of softball games in….please??
Today’s song goes out to Crystal, and is in honor of her mother. “Go Rest High On That Mountain” by Vince Gill.
God Bless You Crystal… lean on him for comfort and peace
chris, how long are we going to be ni this pattern? At my house, we had over 4 inches total from the last system, and though we mowed the yard last Thursday, it needs it again already. either we need some drier weather, or I am going to have to buy some goats! 😉
Do you think our severe chances are pretty high for Wednesday, or just “iffy?” I may need to have time to help Tim get the ark out of storage.
By the way, has Tim had his surgery yet? Does anyone know?
Thanks Chris, for the update, although I don’t like what it says, at least I can be prepared! 😉
Slight Risk of severe continues the next two days but I think it’ll be a lower level risk actually… Thursday maybe slightly worse than tomorrow.
But…GFS shows dry weather and 90s by the end of the month. Hmm..
My lawn is turning into a jungle with all this rain… I need at least one full day of sunshine to dry it out enough to cut.. Gonna need a hay baler when all is said and done!! Anyone with me?!?
its freakin pouring again there goes any chance of doing anything outside today argh
I thought it was going to be better today? NOT! Clouds and drizzle. I am ready to go buy a boat! We were able to get our yard mowed in between rain. Crystal, your in my prayers. I lost my mom my best friend in 03 right after Mother’s Day. God Bless You!
I just want to say I hate trying to forecast when we’ll see breaks in the rain with stationary boundaries. I thought we’d at least see some sun today, but not happening it looks like :(.
It has rained all day here, i haven’t checked the rain gauge but just guessing probably an additional inch.
Bluegrass no longer in Slight Risk for tomorrow…eastern Ky still is though.
flood watch east ky however NAM taking most of rain across ohio river while GFS has the rain focused over east ky. radar favoring the nam at this point.
Crystal, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. As another poster said, lean on Him. He will give you comfort. And be thankful for all the memories. They are truly treasures to be opened again and again.
We are FINALLY seeing a little sunshine here now. At 4:23 in the afternoon….but, alas, it will not last. ~BIG sigh~
Crystal, so sorry about your mom. Your words said so much about her.She must have been a one in a million. I teach school and I think about all the children who don’t have a mom like yours. You were truly blessed! Just remember the song, “Precious Memories”, and you will have your mom forever through the memories. Take care and I’ll remember you and your family in my prayers.
Crystal-
I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. I lost mine a little over 3 yrs. ago, and there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think of her, both first thing in the morning, and before bedtime. You already have such good memories to hold on to, and believe me, as time passes, the sadness now will develop into even MORE happy memories!:)
May God Bless you & your family @this difficult time.
