Western Rain Clusters and Humid Afternoon Showers
A decaying complex of storms will bring heavy rain to Western Kentucky this morning, while a stalled boundary and high tropical moisture trigger scattered showers elsewhere later today.
Confidence Assessment
High confidence in the warm and muggy thermal profile, but significant model disagreement exists regarding the track and survival of the western convective remnants.
Get Personalized Forecasts
Choose which region in Kentucky you're interested in and we'll always show you that one first. You can change your selected region by clicking the "Star" icon on any regional forecast.
Purchase Area
Expect a wet start to the day as a cluster of rain moves through during the morning. Accumulations around 0.6 inches are likely before skies turn partly cloudy and very humid by afternoon.
Northwest Pennyrile
Heavy rain is expected through the morning hours, potentially leading to water on roads. Expect around 0.9 inches of total rain with high humidity throughout the day.
Southwest Pennyrile
A few rounds of rain will move through during the morning and midday hours. Total rainfall should remain around 0.15 inches as the heaviest clusters stay to the north.
Barren River
It will be a very humid day with scattered light showers passing through occasionally. Accumulations of roughly 0.08 inches are expected, primarily during the morning.
Louisville Metro
Gray skies will dominate the day with a few morning sprinkles. The most consistent rain arrives in the evening with around 0.35 inches expected.
Lincoln Trail
Expect periods of light rain and persistent cloud cover today. Rainfall totals will average around 0.15 inches through the evening.
Lake Cumberland
Light rain showers are likely throughout the day, especially near the plateau. Expect around 0.2 inches of rain by the time the system exits tonight.
Northern Kentucky
Northern Kentucky will stay cooler today with periods of light rain. Expect accumulations around 0.2 inches, mainly during the late afternoon and evening.
Inner Bluegrass
While some morning sprinkles are possible, the main rain arrives late today. Expect around 0.3 inches of rain as a system moves through this evening.
Bluegrass Foothills
Rain will be most persistent during the afternoon and evening hours. Accumulations of around 0.25 inches are expected under cloudy skies.
Northeast Kentucky
A warm and humid day will give way to rain showers by the evening. Expect around 0.2 inches of rainfall as the system moves into the area.
Southeast Kentucky
Clouds and humidity will persist throughout the day with scattered showers. Expect roughly 0.2 inches of rain, with the highest peaks seeing fog.
Possible Outcomes
Weather forecasting involves uncertainty. Below are two scenarios representing the range of possible outcomes: the "Boom" scenario shows the worst-case/highest-impact result if conditions align unfavorably, while the "Bust" scenario shows the best-case/lowest-impact result if the forecast doesn't materialize as expected.
The 'Boom' Scenario
The morning MCS maintains its integrity further east, bringing 1-2 inches of rain as far as the I-65 corridor before noon.
The 'Bust' Scenario
The western ridge suppresses the MCS early, leaving the state mostly dry with only localized, nuisance-level afternoon sprinkles.
Model Disagreements
When models disagree, a call must be made to determine the most likely outcome. This decision is based on a combination of factors including model performance, historical data, and the models general accounting of each climatic region of Kentucky.
The Western MCS Showdown
NAM predicts a significant convective cluster with over 2 inches of rain in the Pennyrile, while the Euro remains nearly dry, favoring a building ridge.
Why NAM Wins
NAM typically resolves mesoscale convective remnants and their associated low-level jet support better than global models within a 24-hour window.
Evening Precipitation Timing
GFS focuses the heaviest central/eastern rain in the evening, whereas the Euro suggests a more persistent, light stratiform rain throughout the day.
Why BLEND Wins
High humidity and weak forcing suggest a mix of steady light rain and more vigorous evening pulses as shortwave energy arrives.
