Good afternoon, everyone. A major severe weather outbreak continues to hammer the southeastern part of the country. A rare high risk is out for a large chunk of real estate. These big storms continue to absorb a lot of the moisture and energy, slowing down the arrive of the heavy rain around here.
This continues to be one major storm system impacting the eastern part of the country. There is a wow factor to this system. If you look at the evolution and track of this system through Monday, you would think this is another shutdown winter storm for our region…
Without a cold high to our north, it’s just a big rain maker for our part of the world. You will notice how that continues toe evolve toward a major snowstorm across the northeast. The models didn’t show that several days ago, but the dynamics of this storm will produce enough cold air in that region.
For us, it still brings in widespread heavy rains that add up to an inch or two across the east…
Here’s regional radar to track the action…
Take the interactive radar down into the deep south and track the severe storms and follow live storm chaser video feeds…
From here, the focus continues to turn toward light snow and snow showers arriving by Thursday and Friday…
Waves of light snow and snow showers will then work across the region this weekend. Each of these can put down light accumulations, especially across central and eastern Kentucky.
One of these systems will try to amplify much more than what any model shows. That’s just how a northwesterly flow works. It’s just impossible to tell from this far out.
All of this is part of a much colder pattern taking control of the country as we wrap up January and roll into the first week of February…
Make it a great day and take care.
Nice how northeast just gets a sudden pop up snow storm.
I wouldn’t mind anything more than a dusting this weekend
Possible dusting Thursday/Friday for eastern ky?
Thanks Chris. Still looks like some heavy rain possible overnight and tomorrow. I would rather get heavy rain instead of them having to go through another day of severe weather in the Deep South. Have a great Sunday afternoon everyone.
Let’s hope the snow for the weekend will over achieve in our area. Many times in prior winters the snow would be less than anticipated. BOTS!
I don’t even think we have had any measurable snow here in Morehead. This winter has been a bust so far. What is the least amount of snow ever for a Ky winter?
2″ Morehead State Police on January 6. So, some in Morehead got something
This has been and continues to be a horrible winter for migraine sufferers 🙁 I’ve never had so many migraines at this time of the year before. Please bring on the snow!
Yes! I’m a long-time lurker but first-time commenter, and I just had to chime in because I have also had a record number of migraines this month.
Guess we can hope for an overachieving clipper because I would bet a fortune in Vegas at this point there will be no southern snow track this year.
Lol..Bad month trying to predict the weather in Ky or any other place..Bring on spring..
I did not think we could not go any lower for snow totals than a few years ago, but this winter could have more salt than snow. New low bar, or a few couple inch clippers?
did not think we could
Look at the bright side IF we don’t get no more accumulating snow we have a real legitimate shot next year of getting more snow than this winter. Surely to God it couldn’t be any worse.
True. Also we did not get the bad storms people got in the south.
As rains pour down, our hopes are still high
To see some snow ❄️ fall from the sky
We’ll wait a few days as it starts to grows cold
This Spring in the Winter is sure getting old
So we’ll follow Chris Bailey with our fingers crossed
Come on cold air, now don’t you get lost
Blow in from the north with temps that will freeze
Turn all of our showers to crystals with ease
Lay down a blanket as white as can be
For another snow day is our genuine plea
❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
Cool poem
Thank you. I write them every winter for the kids at school. I think I have about a million by now. Haha
WORST winter EVER! If we can’t get any southern storms, bring on spring!
