Good afternoon, folks. It’s a windy and cold day in the bluegrass state with a little bit of everything falling from the sky. As we look ahead, we find this active pattern threatening to turn hyper-active with the potential for major rains and more flooding issues.<\/p>\n

Let’s start with the mixed precipitation we have into the evening. Rain, sleet and snow will transition to mainly snow. I can’t rule out a quick, light accumulation on elevated surfaces, with the mountains of southeastern Kentucky likely turning white.<\/p>\n

Here’s regional radar…<\/p>\n

After a nice Sunday, clouds will quickly increase on Monday with light rain, snow and a mixed bag coming in Monday night and Tuesday…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>That’s a quick hitter with some flakes flying behind it into Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

From there, it’s game on toward a full blown heavy rain producing pattern. For days now, I’ve been showing you the deep trough in the western US and a ridge off the southeast coast and how this puts us in a wet setup. A strong southwest flow will be setting up late next week into next weekend. Waves of heavy rain and strong thunderstorms will be possible across the entire region.<\/p>\n

The rainfall forecasts on the computer models are very concerning. The European Model…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The GFS<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Canadian<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>You can see how they differ on placement with the highest totals, but all three models have 7″ or more of rain showing up through next weekend.<\/p>\n

Nothing good comes from this type of a setup.<\/p>\n

Here are your snowflake tracking cams for the rest of the day…<\/p>\n
