Good Thursday, folks. Our super-soaker of a weather pattern is underway with rounds of rain and thunderstorms impacting the region. This setup will likely include some local high water issues from time to time through the Memorial Day holiday weekend and into next week.
Rain is common today across areas of central and eastern Kentucky with the heaviest falling across the southeast. Skies will dry across the west and north but our temps are going to be VERY cool for this time of year. Afternoon temps in the 60s will be noted with the chance for few areas to struggle to get out of the upper 50s. What the what?!!
The slowed boundary has another low pressure develop along it later tonight and Friday. This low rolls northward, bringing more showers and storms across Kentucky. This future radar shows the action from late tonight into early Saturday…
A few strong storms can’t be ruled out and we will need to be on guard for local flash flooding.
Even more rounds of showers and storms rumble through for Sunday and Memorial Day, once again bringing heavy rainfall from time to time. Forecast models don’t really handle rainfall from thunderstorms very well, but the fact they are still showing several inches of rain now through Memorial Day is impressive…
Additional rounds of showers and some storms will show up next week into the following weekend. The EURO AI is showing a lot of rain over the next 2 weeks from our region and south…
The EURO Weeklies sniffed this wet pattern out a while back and they continue to show a wet setup into the first part of Summer. Take a look at the average rainfall numbers from the 101 members of the EURO Weeklies…
Those numbers are well above normal…
I’ll have the latest on WKYT-TV and on WKYT + later today. Until then, here are the tracking tools you need for the day…

Make it a great Thursday and take care.
