<\/p>\nGood Monday and Happy New Year’s Eve. We have a very busy weather day taking shape across Kentucky as a big storm system rolls through. This is bringing the possibility of severe storms, high winds and high water to much of the region. Honestly, 2018 can’t end soon enough.<\/p>\n
Our day starts with heavy rain and some thunder lifting to the north along a warm front. This action may put down a quick 1″-2″ of rain, leading to local high water issues for some. As that lifts to the north, warmer air shoots into the state. This air is also very humid and a bit unstable for this time of year and that could spell strong or severe storms later today.<\/p>\n
Here’s the current Severe Weather Outlook from the Storm Prediction Center…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Damaging winds and a tornado or two will be possible during this time.<\/p>\n
That line of storms will also bring another round of heavy rain with it. Here’s a look at the areas that have the best chance at seeing some high water issues today…<\/p>\n
High winds may gust to 50mph or a little better at times today into this evening. With a wet ground keeping the root system very soft, it won’t take much to cause some trees to be uprooted.<\/p>\n The next system rolling in later in the week continues to look like another high impact system for Kentucky. Rain and snow are both possible from Wednesday night through Friday…<\/p>\n Canadian<\/p>\n GFS<\/p>\n New version of the GFS<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Special-3-1.png\")
