    Stay Weather Aware for one more night! We'll continue to see rounds of heavy rainfall throughout the area tonight with an additional 1.5 to 3 inches likely. Flooding will continue to be a high risk through the night. The Flood Watch continues. NEVER DRIVE ACROSS A FLOODED ROAD. This is on top of historic rains that have fallen so far with a broad swath seeing 4 to 7 inches of rain. The whole month of April normal is 4.4, so we've done more than that in just 3 days.

    We're still looking at more heavy rain Friday night, into Saturday and especially Saturday night, and finally ending on Sunday. On top of the more than a month's worth of rain that has already fallen, we could pick up another month's worth of rain by the time this ends on Sunday. The normal rainfall for the entire month of April is 4.4 inches in Lexington. As of Friday afternoon, we've picked up over 5 inches since it began Wednesday evening. An additional 3 to 5 inches of rain remains possible.

    Given the complexity of the weather scenarios, we're keeping the message simple. For the next 3 days, Stay Weather Aware. We've seen flooding rainfall, and we may double or triple what has already fallen. Waves of strong or severe storms will continue into the weekend. Specifically, a Flood Watch will remain in effect until Sunday. As of Thursday afternoon we've already seen 1.5 to nearly 5 inches of rain and flooding has occurred.

    We're going to enjoy a windy and warm final day of winter. Sunshine will be around early with increasing clouds ahead of a pretty strong cold front. Highs will get back into the low 70s with winds gusting 25-35 mph. A strong cold front will arrive tomorrow night. We'll see rain arriving tomorrow evening along with some embedded thunderstorms. It's possible that a stronger storm may arrive as well, especially west of I-75.

    After the storminess of the weekend, and the chill of Monday, spring will be bouncing back with a couple more really warm days Tuesday and Wednesday. We'll enjoy a lot of sunshine tomorrow and temperatures will jump up from the 30s in the morning to highs in the 70s. It'll be in the 70s again on Wednesday.Both days are looking breezy. Rain chances will come back by Wednesday night, but at this point, it doesn't look severe as the system does look weaker.
