Good Sunday, everyone. Our weekend his finishing on a rather dreary note… again. Lots of clouds will be with us today and these clouds could even spit out a shower. You guys don’t care about that… you want to know when some winter weather moves back in. The headlines have your breakdown:
– Today will feature mostly cloudy skies with the threat for a sprinkle or light shower. The cold valleys across the southeast could even see some light freezing rain early today. High temps will range from around 40 east to 50 in the far west.
– Showers move in late Monday as another area of low pressure works across the northern Ohio Valley into the Great Lakes.
– Much colder air slowly funnels in Tuesday with falling temps from west to east.
– Seasonally cold air will be around Wednesday and Thursday and that’s when we have to watch for some moisture working in from the west. This will likely dry up before it gets too far east, but the European Model shows frozen precipitation getting into the west on Thursday…
– The European Model continues to advertise a decent winter storm developing across the south Friday. That system them rolls toward the eastern Tennessee Valley with another low developing across North Carolina…
– The model continues to point toward a healthy swath of snow and frozen precipitation across parts of our region…
– I want to again emphasize this is one run of one computer model. That said, the European Model has been consistently showing some type of system impacting our weather during this time. Other models aren’t as keen on this type a scenario taking place.
– My advice is to put this into the “something to really watch” category in the coming days. Anyone saying you’re getting a snowstorm or telling you there’s nothing to see here, should be made politely giggled at behind their backs. 😉
– There continues to be another signal for a storm system around Christmas Eve or Day. The GFS ensembles are screaming storm with a huge trough diving in…
I will have updates later today. Have a sensational Sunday and take care.
when do you sleep? 😉 Thanks for the updates
Thank you Chris.
I like the way these next couple of weeks are shaping up.
Fingers crossed for snow!
So latest runs are keeping southeast Kentucky in the warm side
Expected
Andy is alive!!!!!!!!!!
As Chris said this is One run of the models and there are several models all with multiple runs each day. The Euro model has been pretty consistent at sniffing out storms weeks in advance. We Will see plenty of waffles over the days, but I do like the fact that this one model run has most of KY getting in on a big snow storm. Hopefully it waffles to the south a bit more so at game time the NW shift puts the Louisville area in the sweet spot. Going to be interesting to track. THINK SNOW!! Thanks CB for the update.
Chris has been far more accurate with his forecasts than other meteorologists in the area for sometime. Great job Chris. Hope we receive a big snow for Christmas!
Well, only took one model run to shift this thing northwest, no big surprise there. I expect snow in southeast Ky about as much as I expect to find a million dollars out by my shed. Ain’t gonna happen.
This thing will be a lake cutter or yet another northern KY deal, once again.
Honestly, shaping up to be one of the dreariest, wet and gray winter we’ve had, for most of us
There’s 2 and a half months of winter to go. Or more then 3 if you go by the fact we haven’t even had the winter equinox yet. Patience, friend. You may yet get your snow.
Bjenks- My wife and I were just talking about Chris honing in on less than mild temps when a couple other locals had it getting much warmer.
He’s the best at seeing that stuff evolving and not depending on one model.
I’m looking forward to the next few weeks leading up to winter and Christmas!
We host a huge Christmas party on Saturday. As far as I’m concerned, this thing can shift northwest all the way to Indianapolis and I would be happy. But Mr. Bailey, thank you for sharing that we should be watching for “something” this next weekend. Whatever we get, we’ll be prepared, and it will be thanks to your hard work for us.
Unfortunately, it appears the 540 is struggling. It’s got to drop before we can get snow, otherwise, it’s a chilly rain.
It has snowed MANY, MANY times with a higher thickness value. The 1998 “dusting” is just one example.
Taking bets that Jackson and London end with <10.0 "of snow this year. Gotta be a way to set this up.
Taking bets your stockings gonna be filled with coal this Christmas
Thanks Chris. If the one run were set in stone I would be bummers. As it is, going to just watch it and your blog, as I do daily. Have a great Sunday everyone!
