Good Wednesday to one and all. The blog is giving me fits in trying to update and it’s making me want to get on that whole upgrade thing faster than I planned. 
We continue in a nice stretch of weather across the state and this has a few more days before we look ahead to the next big storm arriving over the coming weekend.
Before we look ahead… let’s look back at the recent severe weather outbreak. Here is what the National Weather Service in Louisville found…
Henry County
Jefferson County
Lincoln County
If you would like to read all about the tornadoes and see some damage pics… check out this page from the NWS Louisville . By the way… I thought they did an OUTSTANDING job in getting warnings out and being money in the placement of them. Kudos to all those fine folks who were working that night. I am pretty sure our buddy MJ was issuing many of those warnings.
Let’s get to a quick look ahead before I kick my computer.
Today looks like another winner of a weather day with highs spiking up into the mid and upper 50s with a 60 possible in the south. Skies should be partly to mostly sunny with a nice breeze kicking up.
A weak front will be moving through and you likely won’t even notice it. There is NO moisture at all and temps may come down a degree or two behind it… especially in the north. Highs for Thursday should be similar to what we have today with more in the way of some sunshine.
This will set the stage for another big storm system to impact our weather over the weekend. Moisture will begin to increase around here on Friday with showers breaking out. Low pressure will work into the western Ohio Valley by early Saturday and drag a slow moving cold front our way. Showers and thunderstorms will continue into much of the day Saturday. This slow moving front is likely to have another low pressure develop along it and that may happen right on top of us by Saturday night and Sunday. Take a look at the progression on the European Model…
That setup is likely to bring more heavy rains and possibly strong storms into much of the region. If the European is correct… it could also mean a BIG temp drop from west to east Sunday with a change to light snow. By the way… check out how much arctic air is still up in Canada. That is the stuff I have been talking about as it simply will not go away and is likely to head our way at some point the next few weeks.
As a matter of fact… that may happen toward the middle and end of next week behind another big storm.
We will get in on all that and update the weekend storm in more detail with an update later today. Have a great Wednesday and take care.

Good Morning!…Spring fever is kicking in and I just wish old man winter would make his final stand! ….Thanks Chris!…Now if you could do something to make sure those that run the weather sirens are doing it right!
Originally, 3 injuries were reported with the Henry Co. EF-3. That chart says “none”. What happened?
I’m not a big fan of canceling softball games because of snow. I”m an even lesser fan of playing in 40* weather. Spring ,get here and stay.

Bookmark that site. It’s one of the best viewers online that I’ve found for model data. Will become my new favorite once NOAA goes live with their horrible new site next month that’s non-user friendly.
Just because the cold air is built up in Canada, doesn’t mean it HAS TO come this way? It can do whatever it wants…two weeks ago, you thought the cold air would be here beginning of march??? Yes, we will probably get a shot of some 20 degrees for lows a couple of nights, but that is nothing to drag us on with…So, with that said, please no more big rains, come on golf weather
This article for NWS is amazing!

Well, is it spring, or spwinter? guess we are kind of in between at this point.
At least we get a couple of days to dry out before the next one hits. Hang in there, Chris! WE are all pulling for you! 😉
Spring is tip-toeing thru the tulips down here in s. Ky. (Literaaly) trees are budding,tulips and dafodills are either in full bloom or close to it and the grass is getting greener on a daily basis!
I have a QUESTION about the NOAA website
When you go to the main page……….go to the left and click “observed precip”……….which brings up a map of the US and drop down boxes to choose options………………Right below the map there are options to highlight counties/ highway city/ Topo / Rivers and there is one that says RFC boundary….
What is RFC boundary?
Thanks
I know Patty!!!!!!!
When I read that I was thinking……But how??? I’ve never heard of anything like that before…….I don’t want their dirt on my car. LOL
The chart is wrong…not sure why. The local storm report that was sent out states there was one injury and that person was sent to the hospital.
It is a very nice day out today!! Go out and enjoy some of it, because the should be several storms in the next couple weeks. I also have an update on my blog for those interested.
River Forecast Center
Honestly, I like the new models page. The only thing I do not like is that I cannot save the images and put them on my blog.
18z GFS is showing good rain to heavy snow event late next week.
Yes, that and the images are too big to view without scrolling around, which makes manually flipping through hours on the loop a PITA now. And, there are more layers and steps to go through to get to the same charts. Just more time consuming to use it now. They are taking 2 steps backward. That’s the government for ya’.
Very good point.
Hmmm…accuweather is showing ICE for March 10th in my extended forecast.
LOL. but… not funny, accuweather.
