Good Monday afternoon, gang. The winds out there today have been everything I expected and then some. Gusts have topped out at 60mph+ in a few spots. Trees are down and thousands are without power. Those winds are ushering in much colder air that will set the stage for possible travel troubles on Wednesday.

The day before Thanksgiving is the busiest travel day of the year across the country and Old Man Winter is going to cause some big issues.

A massive winter storm will slam the eastern part of the country as a light snow maker zips across the Ohio Valley from the northwest. Each of these should impact the weather across Kentucky. The question is… now much of an impact will each have?

The east coast storm is likely to throw some snow across southeastern parts of the state. The European Model has been the farthest west with the snow shield. The latest SREF also shows a farther west extension of the system…

The new European Model comes out in a bit and I will tweet about what it’s showing.

The GFS shows snow across southeastern Kentucky with the east coast storm and has the separate swath of snow from northwest to southeast…

GFS Snow

That second system mainly comes late Wednesday into Wednesday night. One way or another, travel across Kentucky looks to have a wintry impact on Wednesday.

I will have another update later. Take care.
