Good Friday, everyone. This illustrious post is coming to you from my iPhone and won’t be as long as normal. I get home to start checking models to begin work on the blog and discover my internet is down.

Our Friday is starting out with light snow and flurries in many areas. These flakes appear to be overachievers and could put down a nice coating in several areas…

I’m trying to paste the radar into this update, but it doesn’t look quite right on my end. Just hit the radar tab at the top of the blog and check them out on your own. Thanks, Windstream.

Flakes wind down later today with very cold air continuing. Highs generally stay in the 20s with a wind chill in the teens.

Saturday starts in the teens with afternoon highs reaching the 30s.

The system moving in for Sunday and Monday keeps what earlier runs were showing with a mix at the start across the northern half of the state, but mainly rain takes over from there. Heavy snows fall to our north, but you can see how the north has a chance at some frozen stuff to start…

A powerful arctic front then follows that up by the middle of next week. That should give us a snow chance before some frigid stuff swings in.

The pattern is starting to show itself as one that is going to be very active on the leading edge of the arctic air. That spells a lot of snow for areas who get in the “zone”. Does that eventually include Kentucky over the next few weeks? The GFS ensembles continue to like that possibility…

The operational GFS does as well…

The new European Model also puts us in the “zone” during the next week to 10 days.

Here’s your friendly reminder that I’m only showing those to illustrate the overall pattern being forecast on the models.

I will have more updates later today, with or without Internet. Have a great day and take care.
