Good Thursday, folks. It’s a chillier day, but still on the nice side for much of Kentucky and surrounding areas. From here, it’s all eyes on rounds of heavy rain and thunderstorms on the way for the weekend. This could dump a lot of rain across parts of the state and lead to a high water threat.
Temps out there today are cooler than the past few days, but we still won’t complain too much with highs from the mid 40s to mid 50s. Skies will brighten as the day wears on.
From here, we find rounds of rain rolling toward the region through the weekend. The first system arrives later Friday and takes us through the first half of Saturday with showers and a few thunderstorms…
Rounds of heavy rain and thunderstorms then target the Commonwealth from Saturday night through Sunday night. The trend on the models is for this action to be more widespread and farther north than before…
This action is likely to put down enough rain to bring the threat for flooding into the area. Here’s the area most at risk…
The forecast models continue to spit out some hefty totals through Monday…
GFS
NEW GFS
EURO
After a break for most of Monday, the EURO brings another low with rain and thunderstorms for Tuesday and early Wednesday…
Ugh.
I will have another update later today and will have the latest on WKYT starting at 4.
Enjoy your Thursday and take care.
And the rain-train begins. I’m just glad it’s rain instead of snow and ice. We just don’t need any major flooding.
hoping the rain-train keeps the visits to a minimum during late spring & summer.
Looks like it trended some north… At least it’s only rain. Freezing rain with those numbers would be Mad Max level crazy.
