Sunday/Late Afternoon

WEATHER CODE: YELLOW ***Moderate to at sometimes heavy rain tonight into tomorrow***



Few points to make here before we start the new work week. Since it is Sunday...short post for today...I will go more in depth tomorrow.

-First off moderate to heavy rain will overspread Kentuckiana tonight, and it may end off as a little light snow flurry activity tomorrow afternoon. No snow accumulation is expected, however a few slick spots could develop if we see a burst of heavier snow flurry/showers. Rainfall totals will be in the half of an inch to an inch range. Good soaking expected across the entire region.

-Now that I have this weekends storm figured out...I can talk about it a little. Their is two storm systems that have the potential to become our first winter storm of the year. I'll just talk about this upcoming weekend for now.

Models have been everywhere, but most of them do show a storm, which is good! Models also agree plentiful moisture will be available from the Gulf of Mexico. What this does mean is whoever get's snow/ice, it could be a rather large amount (4-6+). Depending on the track of the storm will determine where the snow/ice/and rain set-up. If we want heavy snow here, look for the low to track into Eastern Kentucky!

The latest GFS has it cutting through Central Georgia and Alabama. This would put most of the moisture to our south! However, this is not set in stone and the computer models will vary day by day until the storm system is nearly here. Let's hope for a more north and northeasterly track...

Henry Margusity from ACCUWEATHER has Louisville on north in the snow band this upcoming weekend, and the rest of Kentucky in a mix of precipitation! Let's hope this all pans out...STAY TUNED SNOW LOVERS!
