Good afternoon, everyone. Snow is on the way to the bluegrass state as we head into Thursday and early Friday. This will be the first widespread snow of the season, and will likely cause slick travel to develop. Get your snow dance on, kids and teachers! 🙂

I’m riding the current forecast I have out…

special-4

Within that area of 1″-3″, some local 4″ amounts may very well show up. The Interstate 64 corridor may be the prime target for that, in addition to the southeast.

The new snow map from the GFS looks like it copy and pasted my snow forecast…

gfs-snow

The NAM isn’t too dissimilar, but it always overdoes WAA, leading to too much of a gradient…

namI would beef up the south and southeast quite a bit on that model run.

The next system on still tries to swipe southeastern Kentucky with a little more snow later Friday…

canadian-2

That’s the Canadian Model that shows this storm cranking just a bit to far south and east to have a big impact on our weather. Let’s see how the European handles it this afternoon.

Don’t sleep on the arctic cold coming! There’s a chance some areas don’t get out of the teens from Friday through Sunday. Overnight lows will likely drop deep into the single digits…

Can we get a negative number to show up in the traditional cold spots? I’m thinking that’s now a real possibility.

I will have a New Call For Snowfall on WKYT-TV starting at 4. Given the fact I’m on for 3 straight hours, I will likely update the map on the fly during that time, as I see new data.

Of course, I will post that right here later today.

Make it a good one and let’s see those snow dances!!! 😉

Take care.
