Good Monday, everyone. On this Presidents Day, we are looking ahead to a mild week of February weather that may end with some strong storms. That threat is ahead of a push of winter temps surging in later in the weekend and early next week.

Dense fog is out there to start the day and will be very slow to burn away for some. Areas with the lingering fog will only reach the low 50s while areas seeing more sun hit 60.

Temps for Tuesday and Wednesday will generally reach the 60s with a mix of sun and clouds.

The chance is there for a shower or storm to go up at some point Wednesday with a much greater risk for showers and storms showing up later Thursday and Friday. The setup for this features low pressure developing in the Midwest and rolling toward the Great Lakes. The area south and southeast of the track of the low will be in a moderately unstable atmosphere.

The potential for a few rounds of strong to severe storms is there Thursday and Thursday night across Kentucky and parts of the Ohio Valley. You can see these storms firing up on the EURO…

With a little bit of shear showing up, the chance is there for a tornado or two to spin up.

Here’s the lightning from the EURO during this same time…

The front with this slows down on top of us Friday into Saturday, allowing for another low pressure to develop along it. This looks to roll through here with the potential for heavy rain. The opportunity for this to end as some snow is there as cold air crashes in behind it.

The GFS is the most bullish on the winter potential…

The Canadian sees the cold and some flakes…

The EURO doesn’t have the second system and is most progressive with the whole setup…

The EURO Weeklies now take us all the way to the first day of April and continue to look very active in our region. The bullseye of heaviest rainfall is right on top of our region…

The weeklies are also showing a decrease in the winter weather potential, but still suggest we have to be on guard for a storm system that can put our region on the snow side of the track…

Another update or two comes later today. I will also have updates on my Meteorologist Chris Bailey Facebook Page

Have a magnificent Monday and take care.
