Remnants of Francine will bring Rain Chances the next few Days

The remnants Francine will lift northward into the
Mississippi Valley, reaching northeast AR & West TN by dawn on
Friday. Ridging across the Upper Ohio Valley strengthens into a
center of high pressure over the Great Lakes by Friday as well.
One of Francine`s main outer band appears to lift into eastern
Kentucky tonight. This first band may be our best chance of
realizing some type of measurable rainfall across the area
through the short term. However, downsloping will eat away at
much, if not most of the moisture downwind of the spine of the
Appalachians, especially over eastern and southeastern portions
of our forecast area. It is likely that locations east of a
Jenkins to Paintsville line will receive little if any rainfall
through Friday. 
The probability of measurable
rain increases as one moves further west. Areas west of Highway 15
and east of the I-75 corridor have a 60-80% chance of seeing 0.01
inches, and a 30-50% chance of getting up to 0.10 inches. Further
west, locations along and west of the I-75 corridor have a 30-60%
chance of seeing up to 0.5 inches of rainfall through Friday, and
an 80% chance or higher of measuring at least 0.10 inches. Thus on
average, rainfall totals will be meager at best, with a sharp
gradient in rainfall totals as one moves from west to east.
