Rainy Days Ahead

Good Wednesday morning everyone. I know you're thinking... why is he posting at this hour, shouldn't he be out reporting? Well I'm reporting night side today through Friday so updates will come late at night or early morning. Your 5-day forecast for London, KY:

Wednesday: Isolated Showers possible, otherwise Mostly Cloudy. Low of 49, High of 76.

Thursday: A much better chance of showers, and thunderstorms later in the day. Some of which could be on the strong side. Low of 58. High of 73.

Friday: Scattered showers and thunderstorms possible early, otherwise mostly cloudy. Low of 56, High of 75

Saturday: Partly cloudy, with a chance of scattered thunderstorms. Low of 64, High of 80.

Sunday: A good chance of showers and thunderstorms. Temperatures look to be falling through the day with a morning high of 71, and a low that evening 48.

Forecast Discussion:

Well once again a very rainy few days is in store for us. Here is a look at radar to track the rains through the day.

The good news for today is it looks most of the rain with the warm front that's moving through will stay north of us. The bad news is that as the cold front behind starts to move through, It's going to slam the breaks and move in like that uncle that always over stays his welcome. Here's a look at the models to see when we get this boundary out of here.

Thursday Afternoon:

Friday Afternoon:


The front stalls out until another Low Pressure system slides in behind it and finally pushes the entire mess on out of the area. This will start on Saturday.

Saturday Afternoon:

Sunday Morning:


So the GFS is backing off it's total rain for the period through Monday, but we still could see a couple of inches in eastern KY, which is not what we need.

Rain through Monday:

So I'll be keeping an eye on the water levels through the weekend. Until we talk again take care!

Shane,

When will this pattern end? Do you see any indications in long range models that we might actually have more typical late spring weather? This rain and fronts stalling out is brutal. I'd love to see a strong High move our way and setup camp for a couple weeks. Thanks for the updates.
