Good evening, everyone. We continue to look ahead toward a very wet and windy weekend here in Kentucky. The system coming in late Saturday into Sunday has the chance to cause some issues. Winter is still lurking later next week.<\/p>\n

Let’s focus on the weekend systems with the first arriving Friday with showers and some rumbles of thunder with the next system coming in here late Saturday and Sunday. A general 1″-3″ of rain looks likely during this time…<\/p>\n

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

Both systems show up very well on the forecast models. This animation from the GFS starts Friday morning and goes through Monday morning…<\/p>\n

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

The same with the EURO, but this has a stronger low showing up late Saturday and Sunday…<\/p>\n

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

If that verifies, we could very well be dealing with some hefty thunderstorms and high winds. As a matter of fact, this run of the EURO is showing wind gusts approaching 60mph…<\/p>\n

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

The GFS and NAM aren’t too far behind…<\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

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

The next system then blows in with rain and wind for New Year’s Eve with cold air and some flakes flying for New Year’s Day…<\/p>\n

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

That unleashes a very wintry setup as we head into early January. Watch these cold shots…<\/p>\n

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

I’ll have the latest on\u00a0 WKYT-TV starting at 11pm with another KWC update later this evening. Until then, let’s track some showers…<\/p>\n
