Here's a look at Christmas Day Weather Data at the Jackson Weather Office since it opened back in 1981. #kywx #ekywx

[NWS Jackson KY @nwsjacksonky]

Surface high pressure will keep eastern Kentucky dry through Wednesday morning. A strong system takes aim at the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes and will bring a shot of arctic air to eastern Kentucky to end the week. #ekywx

[NWS Jackson KY @nwsjacksonky]

You'll gobble up the temperatures for Thanksgiving Day as highs climb into the lower to mid 60s across eastern Kentucky. Clouds will be on the increase late in the day, but the threat of rain will hold off until tomorrow night. #kywx #ekywx

[NWS Jackson KY @nwsjacksonky]

Cool high pressure will remain in control through Monday before a surface low and associated cold front move toward the Commonwealth late Monday night. A mix of rain and snow will be possible early before transitioning to all rain Tuesday. Temps will remain well below normal.

[NWS Jackson KY @nwsjacksonky]

Residual moisture from Hurricane Nicole will combine with much colder air to support the chance for flurries/sprinkles overnight. High pressures moves into the area Sunday and Monday. A cold front approaches the area mid-week and will support snow showers transitioning to rain.

[NWS Jackson KY @nwsjacksonky]

A soaking rainfall is expected tonight and through Friday with embedded thunderstorms possible. #ekywx #kywx

Showers and storms will bring heavy rain and possibly flooding to eastern Kentucky thru late this eve. #kywx #ekywx

[East Kentucky VOST @EKYVost]

@TeamW700 @EastKYWARN @nwsjacksonky Hope you hear from them soon!

[East Kentucky VOST @EKYVost]

@TeamW700 @EastKYWARN @nwsjacksonky Yep, except like 5 Flatgaps happened in one night this time, plus the additional flooded areas. Hopefully the death toll doesn’t rise any further…

[NWS Jackson KY @nwsjacksonky]

Over 5 inches of rain reported at the Jackson mesonet site, much of that in the past few hours. Significant flash flooding is occurring in multiple counties across Eastern KY. Please don't venture out if you don't have to. #ekywx #kywx

[NWS Jackson KY @nwsjacksonky]

Multiple rounds of thunderstorms are expected to affect the region over the next few days, resulting in a continued threat of flash flooding.
