Midweek rain is forecast across the Ohio Valley. The heaviest rainfall is expected along and south of the Ohio River, with amounts ranging from 1 to 3 inches. Despite the potential for heavy rain, the flood risk remains low due to dry antecedent conditions.
ALT Left graphic shows the WPC 5 day rain forecast for the OHRFC basin. The right image shows the low flood risk across the basin.
There is also the option to view the presentation live on our YouTube channel. Webinars are regularly scheduled for the first Thursday of the month, with the opportunity of additional webinars in the case of drought episodes.

#OTD in 1993, a rare #Halloween snowstorm blanketed portions of the Commonwealth with up to several inches of wet snow. Covington in the north saw 6.2", London 3", Louisville 2.4", & Bowling Green 0.9". (map: NOAA archives, pic: in Muhlenberg Co., @KYClimate archives) #kywx
🧵This morning's #DroughtMonitor from @NOAADrought shows a small section of D2 ('Severe Drought') has developed along the TN border from Trigg County E to Monroe County. Slight expansion of D1 ('Moderate Drought') is also noted.
The entire state has been dry over the past week.
Many sites have now gone nearly two weeks without significant rainfall. Some have gone at least 26 days or more without a rainfall of at least 0.25" in one calendar day. There are now six counties under county-wide burn bans per the Kentucky Division of Forestry. #kywx

Over the past 30 days, most of our area has received lower-than-normal amounts of precipitation. However, rain begins moving back into the basin starting this weekend.

Some 60 people were on hand, including officials from the county, state, and federal levels. What a great turnout! #kywx

🧵And to think it all began with just a few holes in the ground over the summer...
Today was a PERFECT day to officially welcome Nelson County to the Mesonet family! Our team is grateful for site host Brad Metcalf, @EmergencyN35406 and their willingness to host today's ceremony.

Virtually no rain is forecast through Saturday morning. Rain is expected over the weekend. Rivers are expected to remain below action levels through early November.
ALT Left image shows very little rain is forecast in the Ohio Valley through Saturday morning. Right image shows potential river levels over the next 10 days are all at normal flow.

"Sun dogs" (aka parhelions) happen when light from the sun is refracted by the ice crystals that make up high clouds. In rarer cases, a 22° halo can surround the sun. Sun dogs are often at brightest when the sun is just above the horizon, which was the case for many Sunday. #kywx

🌤️High cirrus clouds in the upper levels of the atmosphere helped create "sun dogs" late Sunday afternoon just prior to sunset! Classic examples of this phenomenon were captured by webcams near Marion in the west and near Bedford in Trimble County in the north-central region...

We also visited their classroom for more talk of weather (including severe weather and flood safety) a week ago. Many thanks to Mr. Broderick Davis for setting up these visits! #kywx

🗼🙌Big shout-out to the 6th graders from Austin-Tracy Elementary in Barren County! It was a perfect morning to show these students around our site at @WKUAgriculture Farm to show them how we measure and collect weather data.
🧵This morning's #DroughtMonitor update from @NOAADrought shows no significant change from last week's reported conditions. D1 ('Moderate Drought') remains across parts of the western and south-central region.
October is historically the driest month of the year for the Commonwealth. Recent trends are living up to the billing, as noted by the lack of rainfall for the state as a whole for the past week. #kywx
