Good Tuesday, everyone. It’s a windy and fairly mild day across the Commonwealth with dry skies rolling on. These dry skies will take us into the early part of Thursday before a big storm system moves in with gusty winds and heavy rain to close out January.

Temps out there today are generally in the 40s with a 50 across the south and west. Winds will increase later this afternoon and evening as a system passes by to our northeast. Winds may reach 30mph-40mph tonight into Wednesday morning.

Temps for Wednesday look even better with many areas topping out at 50 or better.

The next system is the first of what is likely to be many potent low pressures moving our way through February. Here’s what that system brings to Kentucky…

Here’s what this storm system looks like as it moves through from late Thursday through Saturday morning…

As mentioned, this will bring some hefty rain totals across our region…

 

The pattern continues to trend toward a super-active one as we head into February, and we are likely to see some wild temp swings to start the month.

The models will continue to try and get a handle on this volatile setup. A setup that can bring heavy rain and strong storms with snow threats to follow.

Here’s the latest EURO looks like this from February 6th through the 12th…

The GFS through roughly the same time period…

To further illustrate this busy pattern, the EURO Weeklies continue to spit out a ton of precipitation over the next 6 weeks or so…

I’ll see you back here later today for another update. Make it a good one and take care.
