Good Sunday and Happy Super Bowl. Old Man Winter is about to surge back into the bluegrass state with rounds of snow and arctic cold temperatures.
The first system zips in here tonight and Monday morning with a band of rain and snow. This starts as rain, but should quickly go over to snow and could put down a slushy accumulation for some areas. Here’s the Hi Res NAM simulated radar to start Monday…
Temps directly behind that first wave stay above freezing into Monday afternoon. That changes as the next wave of snow showers and squalls move in from Monday afternoon into Monday evening. There is a definitive convective look to the future radar during this time…
That means the potential for blinding snow squalls that can drop a quick inch or two in a short amount of time. Winds would blow that around and we even have a small threat for some thundersnow.
The 10-1 (no fluff factor) snowfall map from that same run suggests some serious squall potential…
Travel issues will likely develop Monday night into Tuesday. I anticipate Winter Weather Advisories being issues for much for much of the region. They are certainly warranted, but that’s out of my control.
The northwesterly flow really kicks on Tuesday into Tuesday night with widespread snow showers and some squalls continuing…
Bitterly cold temps continue to push in during this time as snow showers last into Wednesday. Highs Wednesday and Thursday will have a hard time getting out or the teens with single digit lows possible. Below zero wind chills continue to show up at times…
Another clipper dives in later Friday with a fresh round of arctic air for the weekend…
The European Model continues to show a healthy snowstorm by next Sunday and Monday…
I will have the very latest on WKYT-TV tonight after the Super Bowl. Until then, I have your tracking toys…
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday and take care.
Warm and sunny Carolina or cold and snowy Denver, I think old man winter has made his prediction.
Thanks for update chris. Schools look safe monday, but who knows the rest of the week..timing of the squalls will be the key for school or no school.
I know it’s not a lot of snow,(and this pattern of the warmth is trying to hold on..) but I’m just glad we’re into a WINTER pattern…I enjoy ALL seasons and when it’s winter I like it 32 and colder with snow. So bring on snow and cold, and hopefully next weekend we could get a snow storm.
Chris, how long do you see the cold pattern lasting?
Really hoping for a first call for snowfall through Wednesday!!
Enjoy the Monday-Wednesday snows as they’re probably more likely to occur than the southern storm next week. Not that the southern storm won’t happen but the factors to get a BINGO snow from a southern system are more diverse than the clipper snows coming this week. Rodger in Dodger!
Rodger, what are you thinking for Ashland snowfall?
Still looks like a half foot + for the Harlan area, and I am still arguing with those I work with over the local forecasts–I go with CB all the way!!!
The jury is still out if we get to use our new sleds and snow boots this week. Especially if we will get to use them on a snow day. Hoping the squalls lay down a healthy amount. We will be doing our squall dance. Until then, Go Broncos!
BengalFan pulling for broncos. …their defense needs to play good. Linebackers r key. I just hope it’s a good game
Well, linebackers and defense no doubt pla yed
very good, key for the win. …
Here’s hoping that my bengals can win SB 51
Haha, this made me laugh…

I’m going with Carolina and Cam Newton simply because Colin Cowherd said Newton would be a bust and I despise Cowherd and his smug self.
Oh, and I hope it snows 4 feet!
