Good Sunday, everyone. High winds and heavy rain are blowing into the bluegrass state this afternoon ahead of a powerful low pressure. Wind gusts of 40mph-50mph will be possible late tonight into Monday as the cold front sweeps in.
Heavy rain may even bring some thunder our way…
Sustained Winds
I have no changes to my thoughts on the Thanksgiving holiday period. The GFS is doing what the GFS does and that’s trend toward the European Model late in the game. The last two runs of the GFS bring a major winter storm up the east coast Wednesday into Thanksgiving morning. This storm grazes far southeastern Ky with some snow as a light snow maker swings across the rest of the state.
The usual westward correction of the models COULD put parts of eastern and southeastern Kentucky more in play. That’s something to watch for.
I’ll update things later today. Take care.
What hapoened to the storm dropping in from the Northwest you previously mentioned?
The MSM (Mike’s snowfall model) says take the axis three days out and shift it 75 miles northwest. Let’s see…
The MECS either needs to stay offshore or shift west/northwest in a big way. No in between. Can’t take another east TN/KY special…with the rest of us getting the shaft. Hopefully impacts are minimal so everyone can have a safe Thanksgiving!
It’s funny that whenever there is a chance for an east KY snowstorm the folks from the west are saying they always get the shaft and when there is a west KY snowstorm the folks from the east are saying they always get the shaft.
It’s all good. As a north central TN resident, we get the shaft in most situations anyway 😉
And I get the blame for both! 🙂
Awe. It’s all in good fun….no one blames you Chris. You’re a very talented met and everyone know that KY and TN are the hardest states in the nation to forecast.Too many variables exist here that exist nowhere else in the nation. At any rate…..someone is almost always gonna get the shaft and thanks for the updates even when they are almost always not what we long for……the elusive BIG snow.
That made me laugh I had to comment cuz it’s true Chris
Looks like the CPC is predicting some above average temps to start December. When can we expect the next arctic blast?
