Good evening, everyone. I wanted to drop by for a quick update on the developing winter storm set to impact our weather Thursday night through Saturday morning.

Let’s hit the high notes and get you caught up on where things stand as of now.

A Winter Storm Watch is out for the western half of Kentucky…

Expect that to be extended eastward later tonight and Thursday.

The European Model has a quicker transition to ice and snow Thursday night into early Friday, with snow taking over through Friday night…

Here’s the Ice forecast from that run…

The snowfall from that run is mainly across central and eastern Kentucky…

The GFS keeps showing something a little different from run to run. While it has the theme of the setup correct…

It seems to be choppy with the precipitation and placement. Here’s the ice forecast from the GFS…

The GFS snowfall looks… Odd…

Our WSI provided GFS Ensembles snowfall forecast is targeting much of the region…

The NAM continues to be the most prolific precipitation producer with this storm…

The NAM has a tendency to overdo precipitation amounts, but it did perform best with the east coast winter storm last week. Here’s the Ice forecast from this run of the NAM…

The snowfall from this run…

You probably noticed I did NOT put together a fist call map on WKYT. That’s partially because I ran out of time due to a work meeting I forgot about. But, it’s also because I didn’t feel totally comfortable with doing so. I’m never going to just put one together for the sake of putting one together.

I should put one together for tonight’s 11.

Enjoy your evening and take care.
