Good evening, folks. We continue to be focused on the big storm system rolling into the bluegrass state for the coming weekend. That’s still on target to bring a lot of heavy rain and high winds our way from Friday night through Saturday night. We will also touch on the Halloween outlook in a few.

Now that we are closer to the weekend, things are coming into better focus in terms of timing and placement. Instead of writing a lot, here are the maps I’ve made to break it all down…

After the initial surge of rain, much of the action takes a break across the eastern half of the state, allowing for some decent weather for a while…

Showers and thunderstorms will be continuing across western Kentucky, then that action works back into central and eastern Kentucky Saturday evening into the wee hours of Sunday…

A general 1″-3″ of rain still look good for much of central and western Kentucky, with lighter amounts across the east.

Winds are going to be a big player, especially Saturday night. Some gusts of 50mph or greater will be possible. The NAM and Euro have some big time gusts…

I leave you with your radars, including the interactive radar. If you want to track snow, that the radar and focus on Texas and Oklahoma for a rare October Snowstorm…

Enjoy the evening and take care.
