Good Monday everyone. It’s a very busy start to the week as we track the potential for severe storms and heavy rainfall. This is a dynamic fall storm system impacting our region over the next few days and we have you set up to track everything it throws our way.

Today will be another windy one as scattered showers and thunderstorms develop. Some of these may become strong or severe this afternoon and evening with damaging winds and large hail the main players. A brief tornado can never be ruled out in a setup like this one.

Here are your storm tracking toys…

Today’s scattered storms will make the transition into a very heavy rain maker later tonight into Tuesday and Wednesday. Low pressure will work toward the region over the next few days and will result in a prolonged heavy rain event.

Rainfall from today through Wednesday should range from 1″-3″ across the state with locally higher amounts possible. This may result in some local high water issues and that’s something we will be watching for.

Much colder air will pour in here behind the departing low for the middle and end of the week.

I will have updates as needed and will send out quick thoughts and warnings via twitter. Follow me here: Kentuckyweather or follow along in the twitter feed on the right side of the blog.

Have a great Monday and take care.
