<\/p>\nGood Tuesday and Happy New Year! 2019 is going out on a relatively cold note with a few flakes showing up for some. As we hit 2020, we focus on another big rain maker rolling in here for Thursday and Friday. This looks to bring another high water threat to the region before winter tries to settle in for a spell.<\/p>\n
Let’s begin with today and roll forward. Mostly cloudy skies will be noted across central and eastern Kentucky with a few flakes possible. The best chance for that happening is across the north and east. Here’s regional radar to try and find a flake for you…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
New Year’s Day starts in the 20s and ends in the 40s with a mix of sun and clouds. Enjoy the dry weather because it changes in a hurry on Thursday.<\/p>\n
That’s when another potent system works our way from the south, bringing heavy rains. The early call is for a general 1″-2″ of rain with locally higher amounts showing up across the south and southeast. With a saturated ground and swollen waterways, the threshold for flooding is pretty low, so it won’t take much to bring renewed flooding.<\/p>\n
The GFS is just beginning to see the heavy rain potential…<\/p>\n

<\/a>The ICON is much more pronounced with the heavy rain…<\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a>The Canadian Model is also on board with a significant rainfall…<\/p>\n
