Rounds of rain continue to roll across the bluegrass state, bringing the potential for local high water issues. I&#8217;m a littler more concerned about this potential than earlier, especially in the southeast. As our storm slowly moves by later Friday, a switch to some wet snow is still in the cards for some.<\/p>\n<p>After that, we focus on the next system later in the Christmas weekend.<\/p>\n<p>As always, let&#8217;s start with the system upon us. My thoughts really haven&#8217;t budged all week long:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Round of heavy rain will put down 1&#8243;-3&#8243; rains across the eastern half of the state. Local high water issues are very possible, especially across the southeast. Watch those water levels!<\/li>\n<li>Winds will increase and gusts may reach 30mph-35mph at times.<\/li>\n<li>Cold air gets pulled in behind our departing storm on Friday. That means a mix of wet snow and rain then a switch to a period of wet snow for parts of central and eastern Kentucky.<\/li>\n<li>Some light accumulations are possible, but the wet ground is gonna put up a fight to melt those falling flakes.<\/li>\n<li>Watch for a few slick spots to develop Friday night and Saturday morning. All this rain and temps in the 20s will make for some icy spots.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I mentioned the high water potential\u00a0showing up a little better than before.
