Good afternoon, gang. Today is a full blown “frozen tundra” day across much of the bluegrass state. Blinding snow squalls, blowing snow, gusty winds and frigid temps are combining forces to give us another taste of the north. Guess what? We have more winter on the way.

A streak of light snow moves into western Kentucky late today into tonight. This action weakens along the way…

NAM

Some light accumulations will be noted in the far west with that batch. Snow showers and flurries will FINALLY start to wind down for the rest of the region. Temps tonight in the central and east can drop into the high single digits if skies clear some.

A true arctic front moves in later Friday, but may have a wave of low pressure along it. The NAM is increasing the chance for some light snow Friday into Friday evening…

NAM 2

The same model fires up the Lake Michigan snow shower/squall machine for Saturday…

NAM 3Temps on Saturday may not get out of the upper teens for highs in some areas. Lows by Sunday morning can drop into the single digits.

Later on Valentine’s Day, we will track a system working in from the west. I’m still not sure how this works out or how strong it can get, but it has plenty of potential. The GFS is still rather convoluted with the scenario, but is picking up on it finally…

I’ll have a full update on WKYT-TV starting at 4pm, and another blog update this evening.

I leave you with your tracking toys for the afternoon…

Enjoy the day and take care.
