A BEAUTIFUL weekend is on tap for our region. As you can see outside your window this morning - plenty of sunshine. Got to love this late November weather. No extreme cold or severe weather. Normal temperatures for our region. Arctic air is well to our north - so we don't have to worry about that subject for the time being.
RAIN is heading our way - once again. I believe this makes the 5th or 6th event in the last two or three weeks. Our active late November weather continues. We need the rain - so no complaints, please!
Here is a look at the official 5 day rainfall total forecast from HPC/NWS. I believe most of us will see 0.75"-1.50". Some locally higher amounts are possible.
The above map is the NAM forecast map for Monday afternoon. You can see showers already moving into portions of our region at that time. Expect showers to become more numerous during the afternoon and evening hours. A rumble of thunder is possible. I am not expecting severe weather. Click images for larger view, as always. Images are from my favorite model web-site www.wright-weather.com
The above map is for around 8 or 9 pm on Monday evening. Lot of rain in our region.
And here we go on Tuesday morning - see the pink/purples moving away. That is the cold front pushing east of our region. This will end our rain chances.
I am not expecting any snow with this system in western Kentucky. Eastern Kentucky may have a brief mix or change over - snow showers.
The next system I am watching will arrive or approach our region around December 6th. Too far out for predictions. I have been watching that system for some time now.
Enjoy your holiday weekend!
