Good afternoon, everyone. Our wild weather day rolls on with freezing rain in the north with heavy rain and thunderstorms covering the rest of the state. This action continues through the evening before tapering off to a lighter brand of rain. Behind this comes a system likely to bring a snowfall to the state Wednesday into Wednesday night.
Some areas of the state have already picked more than 3″ of rain out of this system and it continues to come down. Watch for additional flooding issues to develop until the rains diminish later tonight. Strong to severe storms are also hitting areas of southern Kentucky. The SPC continues to highlight this area for the low end threat for severe storms…
The next system quickly works in here Wednesday and Wednesday night and brings accumulating snows to many. How much remains a forecast in progress, but odds favor a fairly widespread 1″-3″ snowfall. This all depends on the track of the low and how fast if moves.
The GFS has been fairly steady with this system…
Here’s what that run of the model suggests for snowfall…
The EURO is a little farther north…
The Canadian has the greatest concentration across the southern half of the state…

The system behind this for the weekend is looking pretty messy with all kinds of precipitation showing up before the cold wins out by Monday…

Make it a good one and take care.
Storm track too far north for most of us. Hoping it goes more south next month.
Today has been a very dreary and cold day with freezing rain and rain both. We had about a tenth of an inch of ice accumulation mostly on trees and other elevated surfaces, roads were mostly fine. It did look really pretty earlier with the light icing on the tree branches, but has since melted just making it an ugly muddy mess outside.
I’m hoping the euro is right and I get some snow Wednesday, the GFS and Canadian are suggesting I get practically nothing. Also, it would be nice if that weekend storm keeps shifting south, it looks like it has the potential to drop 6-10 inches somewhere.
Nothing in the order of storms, wind, or heavy rain here today as has been harped on by several weather outlets. Nothing more than light to slightly moderate random showers
