Good Saturday, everyone. We FINALLY have some milder air blowing across the bluegrass state this weekend. Old Man Winter packed a few bags and left town for the weekend. That’s gives us the chance to thaw out from what has been a history making cold wave.
Temps today will warm well into the 50s for many with 60 possible in the west and south. There is still the chance for a shower or two, but most areas will see a mix of sun and clouds. Overall, today looks like a darn nice weather day to get outside and enjoy.
Sunday will find winds cranking up as showers and rumbles of thunder roll in from south to north. The action kicks into high gear during the afternoon and evening hours. The Hi Res NAM shows a lot of action on the simulated radar…
Locally heavy rainfall is a good bet. Winds will be super gusty and could reach 40mph at times Sunday night.
That system lifts to our north Sunday night and Monday, allowing colder air to filter in from the west and northwest. Some of the models suggest we get cold enough for some snowflakes by Monday evening…
The models continue to go jump around on what to do for the Thanksgiving holiday period. These swings are anticipated with so much going on in the atmosphere. The European Model continues to advertise a big east coast storm with another system diving in from behind it across our region. These two get VERY close to hooking up on the latest run…
That’s something to keep a super duper close eye on in the coming days. It wouldn’t take much to get that to have more than a light snow and cold impact on our weather.
Updates later today. Take care.
That system diving in Thanksgiving looks like a clipper, but I suspect it will give up it’s energy to that coast hugger. Could be looking at a serious n’oreaster!
Thanks Chris.
Great leaf raking weather out there.
Bring on the crazy winter weather!
Thanks Chris. This time of year you never know. But I did notice that we here in southern KY always manage to get the cold or heavy rain but as soon as it turns to snow, it moved north! HA! Just sayin’ 😉
Have a great Saturday everyone.
Chris close call means no snow that’s just our ky weather luck
If we could get some early phasing it sure would get interesting…Hopefully tomorrow runs will trend in that direction..
Nws I think is giving mid 40s most of next week. But their nowcast may vhsnge if they see a headline for snow in our region.
Coffeelady, I seem notice that also. We always get cold rain. Bubbas rulecalways applys to our area. 33 degrees higher = lots of mosture work with. 32 degrees and colder = not enough mosture left from drparting system to give much snow. If the temp is 32 and below, yhere is warm air aloft which still gives rain. A cold 21 degree freezing rain few years back was sad.
With that said, I still rely on chris bailey for the most accurate forecast
