Our new week is off and running on a mild note, but that&#8217;s going to change in a hurry. We have a lot of ugly weather taking shape over the next week and this includes a lot of rain, thunderstorms, wind, and then the increasing potential for some very cold air. Ugh.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s get started with the better weather of today. Highs make a run at 70 with a mix of sun and clouds. For those wondering, today is the best day of the next week, so please get out and enjoy it. Even on this nice day, there&#8217;s the risk for a shower or storm to get into western Kentucky.<\/p>\n<p>The pattern for the rest of the week features a HUGE cutoff low pressure slowly rolling from the plains into the east. This will crank a deep surface low to our west and this will slowly lift northeastward into the northern Ohio Valley and Great Lakes through Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>This brings a lot of wild weather our way. Here&#8217;s a breakdown:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A few showers and storms might roll into the far west before today is over.<\/li>\n<li>Rounds of heavy rain producing showers and storms kick in from west to east Tuesday into Wednesday.<\/li>\n<li>The heaviest rains will fall across western and central Kentucky. 1&#8243;-3&#8243; of rain will be possible but locally higher amounts will show up with thunderstorms. This is the area where some flooding issues may show up.<\/li>\n<li>A few strong storms can&#8217;t be ruled out in these same areas on Tuesday.<\/li>\n<li>Winds will be very gusty during this time and could exceed 40mph at times.<\/li>\n<li>Colder winds and showers will then settle in for Thursday and Friday. This looks kinda ugly to be honest.<\/li>\n<li>A true cold shot drops in over the weekend and will likely send our temps WAY below normal. There&#8217;s even the chance for some rain or snow showers to show up at some point. &#x1f440;&#x1f621;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the area most at risk for the heavy rain and high water threat&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/FOVvuHfXwAMRpU7?format=png&amp;name=medium\" alt=\"Image\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Storm Prediction Center has the greatest threat for Tuesday severe weather well to our south&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spc.noaa.gov\/public\/state\/images\/KY_swody2.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In terms of the cold blast for the weekend, there&#8217;s the chance it brings some flake action to parts of the region.
