Highs are deep into the 60s with some late day showers and storms possible.<\/li>\n<li>As our low cranks across the plains and rides into the upper midwest, it drags a cold front toward the region. Watch for another low to pop along this front.<\/li>\n<li>Widespread showers and thunderstorms will develop from Saturday night through Sunday. Some of the storms may even be on the strong side, especially in the west.<\/li>\n<li>Heavy rainfall of 1\u2033-3\u2033 will be possible across areas of the state with locally higher amounts showing up. The best chance of that may be into central areas.<\/li>\n<li>Cold air crashes in behind this with a break in the precip initially. After that, a period of light snow and snow showers wraps in from the northwest later Monday into Tuesday. A few flakes may continue through New Year\u2019s Morning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here&#8217;s how the GFS sees our system&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/GFS-60.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-39475\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/GFS-60.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"984\" height=\"808\" \/><\/a>High water issues are likely if these rain numbers are realized&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/GFS-23.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-39476\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/GFS-23.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"968\" height=\"764\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/GFS-23.png 968w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/GFS-23-300x237.png 300w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/GFS-23-768x606.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 968px) 100vw, 968px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The European Model has amounts approaching 4&#8243;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Euro-20.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-39478\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Euro-20.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"759\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Euro-20.png 960w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Euro-20-300x237.png 300w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Euro-20-768x607.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In terms of severe weather, there is a small chance for severe stuff, especially in the west.
