Good evening, folks. I told you guys a case of spring fever would break out early this week! Temps hit 70 or better in several areas, but we are about to go another way. We have a lot of rain on the way over the next several days as our temps come way down. As a matter of fact, there is a growing potential for winter weather later this week into the weekend.

The first wave of rain is is increasing quickly from the southwest this evening. Here are your radars to track the action…

From there, rounds of heavy rain will soak the region through Thursday. Rainfall totals of 1″-3″ will be common, but some areas may top 4″. Here’s the area most at risk for potential flooding issues…

The latest GFS shows this potential very well…

That would be enough to cause some flooding issues over the next few days, so let’s keep a close eye on water levels during this time.

There could also be a period of freezing rain across the north at some point, especially on Wednesday.

As cold air crashes in behind each low, we eventually get in on some snows by Thursday night and Friday. Light accumulations are possible. Here’s the EURO…

Another winter weather maker comes in behind that for the weekend. That one could also put down some accumulations. That system could be interesting for parts of the state.

After that goes through, expect our region to wind up in another very wet looking pattern. The average rainfall from the 21 member GFS Ensembles is way up there for the next 2 weeks…

Crazy!

Enjoy your evening and take care.
