Good Monday, everyone. Thanksgiving week is here and that means we are just a few days away from the famous Planes, Trains and Automobiles post. We’re also now a day away from my winter forecast on WKYT-TV. It’s been bumped up to Tuesday evening at 6pm.

The weather this week is off and running on a cold, but nice start. The nice isn’t going to last as a storm system impacts our long Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

Rain develops to our west Thanksgiving Day and rolls in here for Black Friday as colder air settles in from the north and northwest. The showers carry us into Saturday as things turn downright chilly with the potential for a flake mixing in…

The showers should taper off some Saturday night as we wait and see what happens with the energy rolling in from the southwest. That big upper level system may pivot right on top of us early next week…

GFS 3

That setup, if it verifies, would bring another big push of rain and winter weather into this region…

GFS 2

The European Model takes a more southern route with that system and shows more of a winter weather threat…

As I mentioned before, the models are playing catch up to the signals showing up as we close November and enter December. The -EPO and +PNA are usually a good tandem to get winter weather around here and across the eastern part of the country. We shall see.

I will hook you up with another update later today. Enjoy your Monday and take care.
