Wednesday Washout

NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. MIKE: I GET WORRIED BECAUSE I AM GOING TO FLORIDA TO VISIT MY MOM THIS WEEKEND. I KNOW YOU ARE TRAVELING A LOT. ASHLEY: WE ARE DRIVING TO THE MOUNTAINS FOR CHRISTMAS. THIS IS A CONCERN IF WE ARE GOING INTO ROUGH WEATHER. KEVIN: I BELIEVE THIS PARTICULAR STORM IS TEEING UP WHAT IS GOING TO BE ABOUT TWO WEEKS OF WILD DECEMBER WEATHER. WE ARE GOING TO SEE WILD SWINGS AND UNFORTUNATELY I THINK IT IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF BIG HEADACHES FOR FOLKS TRAVELING OVER THE HOLIDAYS. IT IS ALMOST A CERTAINTY THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE ALL TYPES OF TRAVEL HEADACHES. PREPARE YOURSELF. PACK THE PATIENTS. I CAN SEE RIGHT NOW, LOTS OF CANCELED AND DELAYED FLIGHTS. THIS SYSTEM IN PARTICULAR IS GOING TO BRING US RAIN. IT WILL ALSO CHANGE THE ENTIRE WEATHER PATTERN ACROSS THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE. THE END RESULT, IT IS GOING TO UNLEASH REALLY COLD AIR THIS WEEKEND. AND THEN GOING THROUGH CHRISTMAS. IN THE SHORT-TERM, IMPACTOR ALREADY GOING TO BE SIGNIFICANT. WE’VE GOT A WET COMMUTE TOMORROW MORNING AND EVENING. HOW ABOUT YOU PACK YOUR PATIENTS EARLY? YOU WILL PROBABLY NEED IT. THERE WILL BE STANDING WATER ON THE ROADWAYS FOR YOUR COMMUTE. HERE’S THE WEATHER SYSTEM RIGHT NOW. QUIET IN THE OHIO VALLEY. HERE’S THE RAIN MARCHING ITS WAY TOWARD THE RIVER. IT IS OUTDOOR THE ARCH IN ST. LOUIS. GIVE OR TAKE SIX HOURS, IT WILL MOVE INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. FUTURECAST IS QUIET MUCH OF THE FIRST HALF OF THE NIGHT AND THROUGH MIDNIGHT. 2:00 OR 3:00 A.M., THE RAIN MOVES IN. RIGHT ON CUE, RAIN STARTS AS WE PREPARE FOR THE MORNING COMMUTE. BUT SICK IT TO 7:00 A.M. YOU CAN SEE STANDING WATER OUT THERE. LEAVE SOME EXTRA TIME TOMORROW MORNING. IT WILL ALSO BE WINDY AND WET. WE MAY GET A LULL IN THE AFTERNOON, BUT THE THEME OVERALL IS A WASHOUT. THAT TEAM CONTINUES INTO THURSDAY MORNING. RIGHT BEFORE THE MORNING COMMUTE THURSDAY, RAIN BEGINS TO WRAP UP AND YOU SEE THE IMPROVEMENTS BY 7:00 THURSDAY MORNING. BY THEN, TEMPERATURES TUMBLE. LOOK AT THE FORECAST AMOUNTS. A WIDESPREAD SOAKING IN AMOUNTS OF ONE TWO AS HIGHEST — AS HIGH AS THREE INCHES IN NORTHERN KENTUCKY. WEDNESDAY IS A WEATHER IMPACT TODAY. SOGGY COMMUTE. ESSENTIALLY A WASHOUT AND SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL AMOUNTS. HERE IS RADAR AND SATELLITE. TONIGHT, HIGH CLOUDS WHO THEN. THERE IS THE WEATHER SYSTEM. THERE SOME SNOW UP TOWARDS CHICAGO, BUT THAT WILL STAY THERE FOR NOW. ENJOY THE LULL THIS EVENING. WIND IS GOING TO RAMP UP TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. NOT ONLY WILL IT BE WET, BUT ALSO WINDY. TEMPERATURES RANGE FROM AROUND 40. UPPER 30’S, 40 IN THE CITY. 39 IN MOUNT HEALTHY. TEMPTRESS WON’T TAKE A MAJOR DIVE TONIGHT. CLOUDS MOVE IN. MOST OF US WILL END UP SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 35 AND 40 OVERNIGHT. 2:00 OR 3:00 A.M., WET WEATHER TAKES THIS INTO YOUR MORNING COMMUTE. THE RAIN MOVES AND WHILE WE SLEEP TONIGHT. TOMORROW, LOOK FOR A HIGH OF 52. 52 WON’T COME UNTIL TOMORROW NIGHT. DURING THE DAY TOMORROW, IT WILL BE WET AND CHILLY. IT IS GOING TO BE NASTY OVERALL. TEMPERATURES ONLY IN THE MID 40’S DURING THE DAYTIME. WE KEEP CLIMBING WEDNESDAY NIGHT. WE REACH OUR HYATT MIDNIGHT WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY MORNING. THAT IS WHY WE ARE AT 53 EARLY THURSDAY. AND THEN TEMPERATURES TANK THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THIS WEATHER PATTERN BEGINS TO CHANGE OUR PATTERN TO MUCH COLDER THIS WEEKEND. I DO NOT SEE A LOT OF SNOW RIGHT NOW, BUT IT IS GOING TO BE WINDY AND COLD IN THE WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES THEY STRUGGLE TO GET TO FREEZING. BEYOND MONDAY AND TUESDAY, THE WEATHER LOOKS QUITE WILD NEXT
