We&#8217;re putting the wraps on the weekend and with the Thanksgiving week of weather staring us right in the face. We have a super active setup that&#8217;s going to bring a lot of rain and wind before we get into a full blown winter setup.<\/p>\n<p>Before we get into the latest data, let&#8217;s review where I stand on the first system coming into town over the next few days:<\/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\u2019t 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\u2033 for many with some local 2\u2033 amounts possible.<\/li>\n<li>Winds are a big player with this system with gusts of 40mph possible. There\u2019s 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\u2019s pushed back deeper into the weekend.<\/li>\n<li>Wednesday stays 40-45 for much of the day for highs.<\/li>\n<li>Thanksgiving Day looks mainly dry with temps upper 40s to low 50s.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The forecast models are all in on the soaking rain potential over with this first system&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/NAM-2-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61858\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/NAM-2-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"963\" height=\"755\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/NAM-2-1.png 963w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/NAM-2-1-300x235.png 300w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/NAM-2-1-768x602.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 963px) 100vw, 963px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Canadian-6.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61853\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Canadian-6.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"963\" height=\"755\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Canadian-6.png 963w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Canadian-6-300x235.png 300w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Canadian-6-768x602.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 963px) 100vw, 963px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/EURO-19.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61856\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/EURO-19.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"963\" height=\"758\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/EURO-19.png 963w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/EURO-19-300x236.png 300w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/EURO-19-768x605.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 963px) 100vw, 963px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Those are some good-looking rainfall maps, folks!<\/p>\n<p>Wind gusts to 40mph can&#8217;t be ruled out as the low works across the region onTuesday.
