Instead, let&#8217;s break it down by my confidence level:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>(Tie) Heavy rainfall from 1&#8243;-3&#8243; through Halloween<\/li>\n<li>(Tie) Temperature crash on Halloween. Readings drop from the 60s in the morning to the 30s by evening and then into the 20s that night.<\/li>\n<li>Gusty winds of greater than 30mph-40mph will be possible.<\/li>\n<li>Strong to locally severe storms. The low-end risk is there on Wednesday and then again early Thursday in the east. Damaging wind is the primary threat.<\/li>\n<li>The first flakes mixing in with the rain Halloween evening. It&#8217;s the lowest risk of the bunch, but a few flakes may show up across the central and eastern part of the state.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the evolution of it all from the GFS&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/GFS-32.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-37820\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/GFS-32.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"783\" \/><\/a>The Hi Res NAM only goes through around 8pm on Halloween, but you can see how the model is showing a few flakes firing up at that time&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/NAM-3-2.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-37818\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/NAM-3-2.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"984\" height=\"808\" \/><\/a>The temperature crash is dramatic..<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/NAM-5.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-37819\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/NAM-5.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"984\" height=\"808\" \/><\/a>Hello, wind chills&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/NAM-2-7.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-37817\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/NAM-2-7.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"984\" height=\"808\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As far as the severe storms potential, the Storm Prediction Center has a low end severe weather risk for most of the state for Wednesday&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"jetpack-lazy-image jetpack-lazy-image--handled\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/public\/state\/images\/KY_swody2.png\" data-lazy-loaded=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Additional blasts of cold are on the way this weekend through next week and this may include some clippers diving into the area from the northwest.<\/p>\n<p>I will have the latest on WKYT-TV starting at 4pm and will have another update on KWC later this evening.
