Pattern Remains Active

Good Monday to one and all. We had a rather busy weekend across the state with widespread heavy rains and even accumulating snows for some. As we catch a break in the action over the next few days… we are already watching the next big storm due in town for the middle of the week.

Before we get to the look ahead stuff… let’s review the river flooding situation across the state. Flood Warnings are now out for the following rivers…

– Ohio River at various points

– Kentucky River at Heidelberg and Ravenna

– Cumberland River at Williamsburg

– Green River at Rochester ,Woodbury, Paradise and Calhoun

Major rises are likely along the Ohio River over the next several days. Here is a look at the forecast for the river at various points…













Here is a breakdown of where we go from here…

– Partly sunny skies return today with temps ranging from the mid and upper 40s in the north and east to the low 50s west.

– Tuesday will see some late day clouds moving in ahead of our next storm. Temps will warm into the 50s for all.

– Low pressure will make a run into the Great Lakes Wednesday and drag a cold front into the region. Rain will increase from west to east Tuesday night into Wednesday. Locally heavy rains will again be likely and a few thunderstorms will be possible.

– An upper level low may try to “close off” across the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys late Wednesday into Thursday. This will try to spawn another low developing across the region with a renewed threat for heavy rainfall.

– Cold air will also try to filter into the closed low and this may lead to a change to some wet snow for some later Thursday.

I like what the European Model is doing with this setup…





I will have updates as needed so check back. Have a great Monday and take care.
