<\/p>\nGood Thursday, everyone. Francine continues to weaken as the remnant low heads closer to our region. This brings spiraling bands of showers and storms across parts of Kentucky over the next few days with another system of interest showing up by early next week.<\/p>\n
Let’s kick this off with the latest on Francine from the National Hurricane Center…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With this system only getting into western Tennessee before slowing down, it means we still see one heck of a rainfall gradient showing up across Kentucky. Areas of the north and east may not see much rain at all, if any. Farther west, several inches of rain may fall.<\/p>\n
The first bands of showers and storms spin into the south and west late this afternoon and evening. From there, here’s what I’m expecting tonight into Friday…<\/p>\n
Again, there’s going to be a sharp gradient from storms to zero rain and that sets up somewhere across the north and east.<\/p>\n As this system continues to weaken across Tennessee, the focus on showers and storms will push a bit to the west…<\/p>\n Since we are dealing with spiraling bands of showers and storms, some hefty totals will likely show up in narrow corridors. Those will be the areas where, at least, local high water issues will be possible.<\/p>\n Additional showers and storms may show up in some of the same areas for Sunday.<\/p>\n The Contril run of the EURO Ensembles are the most generous with rainfall across Kentucky through the weekend…<\/p>\n The GFS Ensembles are a little more reserved…<\/p>\n The EURO Ensembles are a blend of the two models from above…<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/1-MAP.jpg\")
