Happy Monday, folks. The sun is making an appearance for many areas, but temps in the central and east aren’t responding very much. Many thermometers in these areas will struggle to the freezing mark.
I wanted to drop by for a quick update on where we go from here. It’s a busy pattern that puts out region on the fence through the coming weekend.
A cold front moves in here on Tuesday with very gusty winds and spiking temps ahead of it. We could see a shower or two as it passes through. That front then slows down and slams on the brakes for Wednesday, setting up a nice north-south temperature gradient. Can we get a weak system to ride this gradient?
The GFS goes back and forth with that system, but the Canadian keeps showing it…
Seasonally cold temps settle in for the rest of the week and there could be another weak system move through on Friday.
That’s ahead of a couple of bigger systems potentially impacting our region from this weekend into early next week. The first system is likely to bring rain, snow and some ice our way. Here’s the latest GFS in motion…
It shows a “wide right” with that second storm coming from the Gulf early next week, but that’s common for the GFS to do.
I will update things this evening. Have a good one and take care.
Well, at least there’s come chances to watch. Rodger’s part of the world is snow-starved. Nothing this past weekend. Rodger in Dodger
Seems it will be mainly cold rain and mix. Not even CB seems to be touting much snow potential.
Looking more and more like the first winter CB does not even call a Threat Mode. A new low bar for snow seems likely. Perhaps the only way get lower overall is zero.
Upper 30s here in knott co at 1 what little snow we got is pretty much gone.
This blog is so depressing
Yes it is
The upper air dynamics just are not there to support a major storm for Sunday. I think ohio may at most see 3-6 inches of snow. Now I think the one after that has great dynamics to work with just looks like it’s just going to miss us.
If trends a *little* NW without skewering the cold; we could have an App Runner, but it`s a long shot.
For the 2nd system that is.
Yes I agree actually a good shot.
Personally, I’m just enjoying the nice sunny skies we are having today as opposed to yesterdays dreary rain and 20 some minutes of snow tease.
This.
Good point, Troy. We haven’t had many sunny days though there’s been many of them in comparison to snowy days this sad winter! Rodger in Dodger
43 degrees. Just a tick above freezing but that’s to be expected
Yep and this weekend most precip if pans out will probably be above 32 degrees. If the cold does time with it, we will probably see a lot of warm air aloft, making the frozen stuff we do not want.
At least we got three big snows in the past two winters 🙂 Well, those that got the snow, of course.
Frankfort stands at about 3.2 inches of snow for the winter, i have seen worse totals in winters of the past, our biggest snow will probably show up in march when most of us are in spring mode :]
You guys are on the high end of the curve 🙂
We have .7″ in BG, but hey, after 4′ the last two Winters combined I guess were due a goose egg.
Half an inch TOTAL in Rodger’s backyard near Henderson all winter! Sad! Rodger in Dodger
About the same in Richmond.
What are the chances of more sticking snow on Wednesday? Anyone?
This upcoming snow potential makes me giddy!
Whoa some blowtorch temps showing up in the near future..Personally don’t believe it..Analog 73-74 kinda in my mind..Think there was a nasty tornado outbreak in April 74..Winter also was not kind to snow lovers..Was a La Nina also..
Don’t lose hope! It’s not even February 1st yet!
