Round of heavy rain have drenched much of the region over the past few days as a slow-moving upper low moved through. That system is moving away, with nice weather to follow to begin the new week. That good stuff isn&#8217;t going to last long as another powerhouse of a storm looks to develop by Thursday and Friday.<\/p>\n<p>That has a pretty interesting look to it and I will talk more about that in a bit.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s begin with today and roll forward. Leftover showers will be slow to depart the eastern half of the state as clouds linger through the afternoon. Western parts of the state may see some clearing, boosting temps into the low 50s there. Much of the rest of the state stays in\u00a0 the seasonal 40s.<\/p>\n<p>Here are your radars to track any leftover shower&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/radblast-mi.wunderground.com\/cgi-bin\/radar\/WUNIDS_map?station=LVX&amp;brand=wui&amp;num=6&amp;delay=15&amp;type=N0R&amp;frame=0&amp;scale=1.000&amp;noclutter=0&amp;t=1272129536&amp;lat=0&amp;lon=0&amp;label=you&amp;showstorms=0&amp;map.x=400&amp;map.y=240&amp;centerx=400&amp;centery=240&amp;transx=0&amp;transy=0&amp;showlabels=1&amp;severe=0&amp;rainsnow=0&amp;lightning=0&amp;smooth=0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/radblast-mi.wunderground.com\/cgi-bin\/radar\/WUNIDS_map?station=JKL&amp;brand=wui&amp;num=6&amp;delay=15&amp;type=N0R&amp;frame=0&amp;scale=1.000&amp;noclutter=0&amp;t=1272129776&amp;lat=0&amp;lon=0&amp;label=you&amp;showstorms=0&amp;map.x=400&amp;map.y=240&amp;centerx=400&amp;centery=240&amp;transx=0&amp;transy=0&amp;showlabels=1&amp;severe=0&amp;rainsnow=0&amp;lightning=0&amp;smooth=0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Temps over the next few days will be back in the 40s with lows hitting the 20s.

There&#8217;s a lot of energy\u00a0swinging through\u00a0during this time and how all that energy plays together will be the determining factor on the weather across Kentucky.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the look of this system upstairs&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/GFS-3-9.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-33302\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/GFS-3-9.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"696\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>How all that translates to the surface remains to be seen.
