Good evening, folks. Mild winds continue to blow across the state as we track a storm system toward the state. This looks to end 2022 out on a wet note with a bigger storm set to follow that up early in the new year.
Clouds are thickening across the region with a shower or two going up in the west. Your regional radars are tracking a few drops…
Temps on Friday will feel 90 degrees+ warmer than last Friday. That’s crazy!
Showers will increase in the west and a few could sneak into central Kentucky. That’s ahead of more widespread showers and some storms kick in Friday night into Saturday, but the heaviest rains look to exit by the time the clock strikes 2023.
The future radar from the Hi Res NAM shows what I’m talking about. This animation starts at 1pm Friday and goes through 12am Sunday…
The setup for the early week storm continues to indicate the potential for a line of strong to severe storms late Monday into early Tuesday. The Storm Prediction Center continues to have the west in the severe threat during this time…
Take a look at the lightning forecast from the EURO…
This happens as low pressure works northward through the Mississippi Valley Monday into Tuesday. That drags a cold front into the region, slowing it down by Wednesday. That would allow for another low to pop along the front. This is the low I’ve talked about for several days as possibly turning things back to winter a little quicker than I had been thinking.
Here’s how the EURO sees this whole scenario…
And the GFS…
Interesting.
Enjoy the evening and take care.
