Remarkable amount of rainfall in Kentucky. A swath of 5"+ in the southwest, and even the northeast part of the state with a solid 2"-3".
Image from the fantastic Kentucky Mesonet. Wish every state had something this good.

From a purely scientific standpoint, I quite like the WPC PPP snowfall maps with 25th-75th percentile point sample ranges.
From a "show this to the public without getting laughed at" standpoint, I'm not sure what to do with "<5" or "4-12". 😂

Do the 16-year-olds who tweet at us asking for winter storm warnings know we're not actually going to issue winter storm warnings just because they asked us to issue winter storm warnings?

Today's buried treasure from the back room (courtesy of a coworker) is a set of maps depicting meteorological records and extremes ... from 1985.

It's November, it's snowing, and I'm still in the DAT checking and QCing things from March. That's the kind of year it's been. 46 tornadoes in the forecast area in 2024, let's not do that again in 2025.

Got to work with the Greene County OH archives department on a really cool new exhibit about the 1974 Xenia F5 -- focused on the changes that followed from the tornado's impact. The display was installed this week. Xenia Lives!

Interesting observation at KCVG about an hour ago. Heavy rain with reduced visibility (5SM +RA) with a ceiling height way up there at 10,000 feet (OVC100). Sometimes the forcing aloft beats out the two miles worth of dry air underneath.
