-----------------
Well, did you enjoy the rain? I received right at 1.50" here at my place. Most areas picked up between 0.70-1.50". A few spots had locally heavier rain. No severe weather was reported in our local counties. A few rumbles of thunder. A nice rain - much needed. We are trying to make up for the drought conditions over the last few months.
Showers continue this morning - I am receiving light rain here at my place - chilly rain. As temperature cool later today, I expect the rain showers to turn to a mixture of snow and sleet/pellets. No accumulation is forecast - more of a novelty event than anything. Just a reminder that winter is knocking on our door.
Areas across central and eastern Kentucky will remain under the main rain shield for several more hours - rain/thunderstorms - some heavy can be expected over that way. See Chris's discussion below for more information on that topic.
It appears the rest of the week will be fairly quiet. Another clipper type system will approach on Saturday night or Sunday - can not rule out some light precipitation. If the system does track further south - which is possible - then snow would be a possibility over much of the region - moisture is limited. However, these clipper type systems have a way of producing a quick burst of snow. We will keep an eye on that system. I will update accordingly..
Also watching a system for around December 6-8th. I have low confidence as to whether we will pick up precipitation from that event. The EC (model from Europe) wants to take the storm fairly far south. This would put us in a favorable area for mixed precipitation. However, I am just not confident enough to make a forecast call on that event. Ensembles are also all over the place.
We will keep an eye! Stay tuned.
Otherwise - enjoy your week.
