We are getting ready for that big Halloween Week storm system to blast through Kentucky and surrounding areas. This storm will have a huge impact on the entire eastern half of the country for the big week.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s break down how this plays out around here:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rains overspread the state from west to east today, reaching the north and far east by tonight.<\/li>\n<li>Monday looks soggy with fairly widespread rains across central and eastern Kentucky. Locally heavy downpours are likely.<\/li>\n<li>Scattered showers are with us early Tuesday before gusty rains increase from west to east late in the day.<\/li>\n<li>Those rains are ahead of a potent upper level low and surface low spinning right on top of Kentucky.<\/li>\n<li>Those two in tandem will create widespread heavy rains Tuesday night and Wednesday.<\/li>\n<li>As the low wraps up to our east and northeast Thursday, wraparound showers will continue to be common in the central and east<\/li>\n<li>A general 1&#8243;-3&#8243; of rain will show up across the state during this time with pockets of higher totals. Local high water issues can&#8217;t be ruled out.<\/li>\n<li>Winds are gusty this entire time and may reach 30mph on occasion.<\/li>\n<li>Temps are chilly and may not get out of the 40s Wednesday and Thursday.<\/li>\n<li>Some leftover showers may linger into the start of Halloween, but most of the moisture from this looks to be gone.<\/li>\n<li>Can the highest mountains of southeastern Kentucky get in on a flake late Thursday or Thursday night? Maybe, but the best chance is over in WV.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In terms of the first system, watch how the rains pick up later today and then really get going tonight and Monday.
