Heavy Rains Usher In!

Good late morning/early afternoon everyone and welcome back to the blog! I've been very busy with the college life and it's left me little to no room for posting on the blog. I do promise though they blog will pick back up in activity as we head further into the fall season.

Today we have alot of rain pushing in from our south and west. This will produce heavy rains through out the day some of which could produce up to 4 inches of rain and maybe some locally higher amounts. That is why there is a Flood Watch for most of our area. Counties included are: Laurel, Knox, Whitley, McCreary, Pulaski, Rockcastle, Jackson, and Clay counties.

Here's what the GFS rainfall output is showing for today's rain totals:

Thats up to 5 inches of rain possible in some areas! Pack those raincoats!

The rain should move out by tomorrow morning but with that the potent cold front will move through too. As the rain stops, the clouds will hang around as temperatures crash through the day tomorrow. Possibly into the 50s by late evening hours. Wednesday could be a whole different story! Wednesday morning lows could be in the upper 30s! That all depends on how quick the clouds move out of your area. If they move out fast then temperatures have a greater shot at bottoming out into the 30s.

I will have more updates later on Twitter and Facebook as the day goes on and I will also try to get some rainfall totals posted as I get them and radar estimates. Have a great Monday everyone and take care! :)
