Weather ahead

[nWo]

Starting on Wednesday afternoon/evening into Friday we are looking at some possible very heavy rain and storms. Some could become severe. Flash flooding will be possible during this upcoming time period. I'll be posting updates as we get closer.

[Jack of all Trades]

Great. More rain, just what we all need.

[All In]

The local Cincinnati stations seem to be saying Thursday could be sun up to sun down rain event for some. Is that what you are getting? Wednesday and Friday seem to be dry

I can't say it will be a complete washout but, WKY, Louisville and the Cincinnati/NKY area look to get most of the precipitation.

 

It looks to break on Friday but ramp back up again Saturday.

I'd say around an 1" up to 1.5 at the most. The heaviest accumulation look to be from around Bowling Green up to Louisville then into NKY/Cincinnati area. The Louisville area could see 2+ inches.

[nWo]

I just took a quick peak at the NAM 48 accumulation model. It shows the Louisville area in the 2-3" range. Also south central KY from around Bowling Green eastward to around Corbin and just south of Richmond in the same range. I'll update later.

Here is today's rain 24 hr precipitation outlook from 8 am today until 8 am Friday. The X is centered pretty much on the area you asked about. It shows about 1.32 inches of rain accumulation.

Looks like now we could get a break starting sometime on Friday through Saturday. Rain looks to move back into Kentucky on Sunday.
