Good evening, folks. It’s been a fund at work with our annual WKYT Thanksgiving dinner. It’s also been a busy one as I put the final touches on the winter forecast. This will get you jacked up for it…

Hmmm… nothing like a little pressure to deliver 4 in a row. 🙂 You can also watch that on wkyt.com and then there is this…

Let’s get you caught up on the short term forecast. Record highs are a strong possibility on Friday as gusty southwesterly winds kick in. This is going to be a very bad forest fire day. As the cold front blows in Friday night, gusty showers will become likely. The models are delivering modest rain totals.

Here’s the GFS…

Leftover snow flurries can linger into Sunday across the east as our cold northwesterly wind flow continues.

Looking toward Thanksgiving, another storm system will impact the region with chilly rains on Wednesday into early Thanksgiving. Can that end as a wet snowflake? The European says there’s a chance…

I will have another update later tonight. Enjoy your evening and remember… Winter Is Coming! 🙂

Take care.
