Heavy Rain Brings The Chill

Good Monday everyone. Let me start out today by saying… USA… USA… USA… USA!! From a weather standpoint… heavy rain will continue to pound much of the region and this will cause more flooding problems for the western half of the state. As the rain continues… the chilly temps will now join the party for a few days.

Showers and some thunderstorms will be likely today with the highest totals being across western Kentucky. This is a region ravaged by flooding and the new rain will cause more issues for the next several days. Farther east… today’s rains will be a bit more scattered.

Track the rain and storms on our radars…

Rainfall Since Midnight

Low pressure will be moving northeastward along our stalled out front and will increase the rain shield for the entire region tonight into Tuesday. Heavy rains will be a good bet during this time.

We should see one heck of a temp gradient from west to east across the state today. That may mean a 25-30 degree temp swing. You can see that well here on the NAM forecast for this afternoon…

Tuesday will be another chilly day and Wednesday is likely to keep the chill around for another day.

The weather for the end of the week into Kentucky Derby weekend looks unsettled… but milder. We will be in a northwesterly flow that will bring a couple of systems to try to rain on us again. The first will be later Thursday into Friday and should be rather moisture starved. A strong system dives in for Derby weekend with a round of showers and thunderstorms. The timing on this will have to be watched as it can impact Derby day. Hopefully we can hold that off until Sunday.

The temp pattern for the month of May does not look very good as a cooler than normal regime sets up shop. That doesn’t mean we won’t have some warm days… but the month as a whole looks below normal. Check out the Temp anomaly forecast from the GFS Ensembles…

The warmth will stage a fight for the middle and end of the month and that is likely to spell a renewed supercharged severe weather pattern.

I will update as needed. Have a great Monday and take care.

I am not sure I feel like celebrating. This won’t bring our soldiers home nor will it return a lost life. We will never go back to the way it was…

USA! USA! USA! It might not bring our boys home, but it is certainly a step in the right direction.

My heart and prayers go out to the families of the lost on 9/11.

May this bring them closure & peace, though I know they would rather have their loved ones back in their arms.

God bless & protect the USA.

And a big thank you to our brave soldiers & their families…who fought long and hard & sacrificed much for this day.

I don’t see this as a good thing. The news is pretty much saying they expect a retaliation attack and have urged American citizens travelling or living abroad to be careful. They showed LOndon while saying this, how many citizens are in London cause of the royal wedding and now have to be worried travelling. Are we back to having to tell people we are from Canada when travelling to other countries like in 2003?

What a GREAT day to be an American! they are all good, but this one is special! I am with you, Chris! USA USA USA USA!
Already had a heavy shower move through here this morning. I see it is still not time to put away the long sleeved shirts yet…

I would love nothing more, than, for this rain to be snow! Lol.

I NEVER told anyone I was from Canada and was doing significant traveling around the world at the time on business. I’m proud to be an American and if my being from this country causes someone to be upset…then so be it.

Emerson Biggins on May 2, 2011 at 2:09 pm

What? You’ve got to be kidding!

LD on May 2, 2011 at 7:30 pm

Exactly, if declare your American origin, you might be attacked for it or you might not be. However, if you declare yourself a Canadian, you’d most certainly be attacked just on general principle. 😉
Just kidding! Canada I still <3 you

This system doesn’t seem interested in moving east at all…just south.north. By the time it moves east it will be rained out

E-TownKY on May 3, 2011 at 12:54 am

oh Yeah,you’re right… it was much better when he was alive and 3000 innocent citizens were murdered while they were simply at their work places in their home town, in their own country..

Come on….

I never said that what he did was right. It was wrong, but all killing him is going to do his people more angry at us.

A quote I read today:
“I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that” -MLK Jr

^My point.

This was a huge step for America. They have finally cut the head off of the snake.
