Good Wednesday to one and all. A big storm system is set to bring a little rain and a lot of wind to the region over the next few days. This will be followed up by a cutoff system that may impact our weather over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Temps today are a little cooler than yesterday with just a few showers showing up. The numbers climb from south to north through tonight and should reach the 60s for many areas. As our low passes by well to the west and north, a cold front works in from the west early Thursday with a broken line of showers and maybe a thunderstorm. Here’s the future radar from the HRRR from 1pm today through 1pm Thursday…<\/p>\n

Some of the storms may be strong or locally severe across the west later today. The Storm Prediction Center has a low-end risk for severe storms…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Winds are a MAJOR player later tonight and Thursday. Gusts of 50mph or higher will be possible and the models are all agreeing on this…<\/p>\n

Wind damage and power hits are a good possibility during this time, so take precautions now.<\/p>\n

The next system on tap for the weekend is a tricky one because we are dealing with an upper level low that becomes cutoff from the main flow. Typically, winter weather falls on the north and northwest side of the track of these things.<\/p>\n

Here’s the GFS with this…<\/p>\n

Here’s what that looks like at the surface…<\/p>\n

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

Notice how that takes some wintry weather into areas of the deep south before brushing the southeast with some snow.<\/p>\n

The Canadian is very similar…<\/p>\n

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

The EURO is a little farther south and east with this system…<\/p>\n

I will update things later today. Until then, here are your radars to track whatever showers and storms are roaming across Kentucky…<\/p>\n
