LATE WEEK RAIN/STORMS - Several rounds and waves move through starting Thursday afternoon. The first wave will ride along a cold front Thursday afternoon. Second wave moves in late Thursday night/overnight along a cold front. A few gusty storms could be possible in this time frame. The next wave will roll in late Friday night into Saturday morning as another low moves along the Ohio River.

Most of the severe weather threat will remain either to our west (Thursday) or south (Friday), but again a few gusty storms can't be ruled out.

7 DAY FORECAST - Mild temps continue for the rest of the week. Rain and storms will move in starting Thursday afternoon into Friday. Once the cold front moves through, we will turn sharply colder Saturday with some scattered rain and snow showers around.

Next week starts of quiet and warmer than normal. Some hints that winter makes a return late next week.

A lot of signs pointing to the return of winter by the end middle/end of next week. Back to reality soon. ❄⛄

LATE WEEK STORMS - Chances for severe storms at this point seem relatively low - although I'm not going to rule out a few gusty storms. The graphic below shows the CAPE - instability or storm "fuel". This would be extremely low in typical severe weather months, but colder season storms don't need quite as much to get going.

In terms of other ingredients, there will be PLENTY of moisture. Wind shear (spin in the atmosphere) is there, but better dynamics either to our west, or south of the Ohio River.

All that said - watch the forecast. I don't think we're looking at a severe weather event, but It also wouldn't shock me to see a strong storm or two Thursday/Friday.

SOGGY END TO THE WEEK - A potent system will roll into the state Thursday afternoon through Friday. Steady showers, with heavy downpours, and even a few thunderstorms will be possible.

While the best chance for severe weather remains south of the state Friday, a few gusty storms can't be ruled out.
