Good afternoon, everyone. Spring and winter are colliding today as we track the potential for a few strong storms and a period of light snow that follows. That pretty much sums up Kentucky weather… Don’t ya think?
A system working across the area today has very mild air ahead of it and very cold air behind it. Initially, that means showers and thunderstorms breaking out ahead of it. Some of these storms can be strong or locally severe across the southeast. The SPC has a Marginal to Slight risk out for these areas…
Much colder air then sweeps in this evening as temps crash from northwest to southeast. As the low strengthens into a monster to our east, it will have a period of wraparound light snows then snow showers…
As temps drop into the 20s, some slick spots can develop on area roads by Thursday morning. Can we get some accumulations from this? There’s a chance to get a covering, especially on grassy and elevated surfaces.
The same cannot be said for areas to our northeast. How about a road trip to the northeast?
Just a few days ago, folks up there were complaining about how they hadn’t had much snow and there was no snow in sight. With an active pattern, these types of systems can blow up with just a few days notice. Let’s keep that in mind over the next few weeks.
I leave you with your tracking toys for the day. Don’t forget to take the interactive radar for a ride. It has live storm chaser cams for your viewing pleasure…

Enjoy the day and take care.
are we going to get some snow next week in southern ohio sure would love a snow day lol
A “surprise” big snow would be very welcome around here. East coast, North Carolina, Oregon, upper midwest have all had snow (or will have). It’s our turn! Rodger in Dodger
Thanks Chris. I was thankful we didn’t get storms yesterday. I heard Jim say on the morning news that the overnight storms and rain could stabilize the atmosphere, and it seems that was the case. I’ll take it. Today, we have 60 degrees with the sun trying to peek out from time to time. So there’s that. I would like to see snow, even some light snow and some COLD. Please! Have a great hump day everyone! Thanks again Chris, for all you and your team do.
Actually the NE has gotten some good snows, so at least have some results to support an outlook chance 🙂 We though appear to be in Honey Boo Boo land for snow this winter.
Again, we had three HUGE snow storms the previous two winters. That was cool and not long ago 🙂 The shoveling was not cool though.
“that new interactive radar is amazing and will surely continue to improve and look nothing like it’s humble beginnings right now”

Since winter couldn’t sustain itself at all, let’s see if spring can do better or just do the usual 80 degree temps in early April and go straight into summer again. 6 weeks of winter, 6 weeks of spring, 6 months of summer (april ~ sept), 3 months of fall.
For a snow lover, its painful to watch that bright blue radar just to the north…oh so close…
Indeed. Agreed.
Someday, someday guys it will be our turn!!!
It will. Keep the hope alive.
Will the snow be enough for some delays or cancelations
Maybe that southern tail of radar-winter-blue will sweep across norhtern Kentucky with some extra gusto! I’ve got my eye on that!
Good…. bill in Louisville…I live in northern ky Campbell county keep me posted ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
