We are just about to roll into Thanksgiving week and we have a major storm system set to impact our weather leading up to turkey day. This brings a lot of wind and rain in here before a winter looking pattern takes over.<\/p>\n<p>Clouds will increase out there from west to east this afternoon and evening with temps into the 50s for most.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a breakdown of the storm to come:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Low pressure develops in the southern Mississippi Valley Monday and rolls into western Kentucky Monday night and Tuesday. This winds up in the Great Lakes by Tuesday night.<\/li>\n<li>Showers develop in the west Monday and slowly push eastward into Monday evening.<\/li>\n<li>Rain and some thunderstorms then increase from southwest to northeast Monday night and Tuesday.<\/li>\n<li>I can&#8217;t rule out a few strong storms across southcentral and southeastern Kentucky.<\/li>\n<li>This action becomes more showery Tuesday night into early Wednesday as the low pulls away.<\/li>\n<li>Rainfall numbers should average .50 to 1.5&#8243; for many with some local 2&#8243; amounts possible.<\/li>\n<li>Winds are a big player with this system with gusts of 40mph possible. There&#8217;s an outside shot of gusts to 50mph.<\/li>\n<li>The air behind this is chilly but not as cold as what it looked like a few days ago. That&#8217;s pushed back deeper into the weekend.<\/li>\n<li>Thanksgiving Day looks mainly dry with temps upper 40s to low 50s.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here&#8217;s how I&#8217;m expecting the most active part of this storm to look on Tuesday&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SPECIAL-MAP-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61834\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SPECIAL-MAP-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"927\" height=\"578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SPECIAL-MAP-2.png 927w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SPECIAL-MAP-2-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SPECIAL-MAP-2-768x479.png 768w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SPECIAL-MAP-2-400x250.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 927px) 100vw, 927px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In terms of rainfall, the models are pretty juiced up for, what would be, our heaviest and most widespread rainfall in a couple months&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/EURO-18.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61844\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/EURO-18.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"961\" height=\"753\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/EURO-18.png 961w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/EURO-18-300x235.png 300w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/EURO-18-768x602.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 961px) 100vw, 961px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/NAM-9.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61839\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/NAM-9.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"963\" height=\"755\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/NAM-9.png 963w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/NAM-9-300x235.png 300w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/NAM-9-768x602.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 963px) 100vw, 963px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Canadian-5.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61837\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Canadian-5.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"963\" height=\"758\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Canadian-5.png 963w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Canadian-5-300x236.png 300w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Canadian-5-768x605.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 963px) 100vw, 963px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The GFS is not like the others, but it&#8217;s ALWAYS a work in progress&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/GFS-10.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61838\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/GFS-10.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"963\" height=\"808\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/GFS-10.png 963w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/GFS-10-300x252.png 300w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/GFS-10-768x644.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 963px) 100vw, 963px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>What happens at the end of the week and weekend?
