One potent storm system is moving through Kentucky today and this is the opening act to a much bigger storm coming later this week.

For that, let&#8217;s break it down with the bullet points:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The day starts with a line of strong to, potentially, severe storms racing eastward across Kentucky.<\/li>\n<li>This line should decrease in intensity the farther east it gets, but it may still pack some local wind damage with it.<\/li>\n<li>The actual cold front sweeps into central Kentucky around the middle of the day and then blasts into eastern Kentucky this afternoon. That&#8217;s when another line of strong to severe storms fires up. Eastern Kentucky has the best chance at seeing this action.<\/li>\n<li>Winds are a big player ahead of the front with gusts approaching 40mph at times.<\/li>\n<li>Temps spike ahead of the front then crash through the 50s and 40s behind it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a look at where the Storm Prediction Center is highlighting for the severe threat later today&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/public\/state\/images\/KY_swody1.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Lingering clouds and a few showers may still be an issue on Tuesday, especially early on across central and eastern Kentucky. This will do a number on temps. For areas seeing clouds, you may not get out of the 40s. With some sun, you make it into the 50s.<\/p>\n<p>The Hi Res NAM continues to be most bullish on the clouds and has some of the colder numbers.

Exactly where the clearing takes place might be a game time decision, but the models are pretty enthusiastic on this happening.<\/p>\n<p>The Hi Res NAM continues to be the coldest of all the models and actually shows 20s in the cold valleys of central Kentucky&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/NAM-12.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-50609\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/NAM-12.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"968\" height=\"758\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/NAM-12.png 968w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/NAM-12-300x235.png 300w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/NAM-12-768x601.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 968px) 100vw, 968px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The GFS isn&#8217;t as cold, but we can take the under on the numbers it&#8217;s spitting out&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GFS-TEMPS-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-50611\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GFS-TEMPS-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"962\" height=\"759\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GFS-TEMPS-2.png 962w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GFS-TEMPS-2-300x237.png 300w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GFS-TEMPS-2-768x606.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 962px) 100vw, 962px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The main show arrives in the form of a major fall storm system set to impact us from late Wednesday through Saturday.
