Haven't had to go to a moderate weather alert code in a while. It is obviously needed due to significant rainfall (across most areas) we have seen today and the past couple of days. Sadly, if you didn't like today's weather, then you won't like Friday or Saturday. Yesterday, I had mentioned rainfall would be less widespread than Wednesday, well was I wrong. A shortwave developed and suprised us weather forecasters/meteorologists. In fact, most National Weather Services, yesterday, only had 30 or 40 POPS (Probability of Precipitation) for today. Weather is by no means an easy phenomena to predict. God has authority over the weather, and that's why we don't always get it right!
Tomorrow and Saturday more shortwaves are expected to ride up along the pesky cold front that has been around for sometime now, providing the lift for these showers and storms. Due to the expected coverage and intensity of rain tomorrow and Saturday, the NWS in Louisville has hoisted a FLASH FLOOD WATCH (graphic and text below)
FROM 8 PM EDT /7 PM CDT/ THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING UNUSUALLY MOIST AIRMASS FOR LATE SEPTEMBER WILL COMBINE WITH AN UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE TO PRODUCE SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STORMS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. A FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE REGION SATURDAY...SERVING AS A FOCUS TO PRODUCE WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAINS. HEAVY RAINS FALLING OVER ALREADY SATURATED GROUNDS WILL BRING A CHANCE FOR FLOODING ON ROADWAYS AS WELL AS FOR SOME CREEKS TO OVERFLOW THEIR BANKS.
Should dry out for Sunday. One word for the beginning of next week...BRRRR!!!! Highs on Tuesday will struggle to make it to 60 with lows in the upper 30's and lower 40's! Fall is here after all! More on this tomorrow! Everyone have a God blessed night!
