Good afternoon, everyone. I wanted to drop by for a quick update on the heavy rains moving in and the heavy rains on the way later this weekend. Oh, and the winter weather likely to follow later next week.<\/p>\n

Rain continues to develop from southwest to northeast and will become heavy at times. The models continue to point toward a general 1″-2″ of rain across the central part of the state…<\/p>\n

\"NAM\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A few spots can exceed the 2″ mark. With a saturated ground and swollen waterways, local flooding issues may develop. That’s something to keep a very close eye on. Watches are overrated.<\/p>\n

Here’s regional radar to track the increase in the action…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The weekend system will throw some scattered stuff in here on Saturday as temps spike into the 60s.<\/p>\n

The exact track of the big storm is still in question for Sunday and Monday, but the NAM shows this system rolling right across Kentucky…<\/p>\n

\"NAM<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s a very impressive system with heavy rain, high winds and some thunder. Here’s what that run of the NAM is spitting out for rainfall just for rainfall on Sunday through 7pm…<\/p>\n

\"NAM<\/a><\/p>\n

Obviously, if the NAM is correct, we are going to have some flooding issues Sunday and Monday. The GFS continues to be just a bit farther south with the heaviest rains in Tennessee. Given this looks like a winter system, I wonder if the GFS is treating it like one and showing it farther south than it actually will be?<\/p>\n

After all this, here comes winter for the second part of next week. The first system arrives from the northwest with some light snow possible…<\/p>\n

\"GFS<\/a><\/p>\n

Additional systems then dive in here on the GFS…<\/p>\n

\"GFS<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s a true clipper showing up…<\/p>\n

\"GFS<\/a><\/p>\n

And then a super clipper after that…<\/p>\n

\"GFS<\/a><\/p>\n

Back loaded winter ahead.<\/p>\n

I will update things later today. Enjoy your Thursday and take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
