Good afternoon, gang.  It’s a very windy day across the bluegrass state with gusts approaching 50mph at times. These winds are ushering in a very volatile weather pattern for the days ahead.

I have no real changes on the potential as we roll forward. An arctic front will dive in here by Thursday night and Friday and hang out for a few days. Depending on exactly where that sets up will be the deciding factor on where the freezing rain sets up.

The trend of the Canadian and European Models continues to be a little colder for the entire weekend. The Canadian model now shows a pretty expansive area of freezing rain…

The temp trend on the European Model keeps that freezing line right on top of the region on and off through the weekend. Here’s Friday morning…

The NAM only goes through Friday afternoon, but you can see some ice showing up on it…

The GFS continues to run slightly warmer than all other models. Here’s the total ice on that model through the weekend…

Again, we are walking a very fine line in terms of the all rain verses ice. Here’s hoping that 32 degree line stays well to our north.

I will throw you another update later today. Until then, let’s track those gusty showers across the region…

Enjoy the rest of your day and take care.
