Good evening gang. Heavy rains continue to work across much of central and eastern Kentucky. The flood threat will be on the rise into the overnight hours and if you live in a flood prone area… please keep an eye on water levels. We have talked a lot about the high water threat and there really isn’t anything else I can say about it.

I want to take this time to talk about the snow threat. Western Kentucky has been seeing on and off snows since last evening and this is an area that has the chance at getting in on heavy snow later tonight into early Tuesday. The snows can come down hard enough to accumulate quickly in some areas as this has been happening across parts of Tennessee. The rest of the state will then get in on some snow later Tuesday into early Wednesday.

Here’s a rough look at what i’m thinking…



The area of western Kentucky I have highlighted in the heavy snow threat will be the one to really watch out for tonight. The area I have as “watching” is an area that will be on the cusp of the heavier snow. I am not mentioning accumulations because it’s not a given the heaviest snow sneaks that far north out of Tennessee. If it does materialize… then 2″-4″ of snow would be possible for some areas. IF!

Areas of west central and southern Kentucky will see some snow mixing in with the rain by morning as cold air lifts northward. Many areas will see a break in the precip tomorrow afternoon before the backlash rain and snows move in from the northwest tomorrow night. This is when some local, light accumulations will be possible.

Track the weather…
