Good afternoon, everyone. Winter weather is moving back into the region tonight, bringing the potential for a slushy snowfall to parts of the region. This kicks off a weekend where we will also be on guard for another potential winter weather maker on Sunday.

Let’s take the first system and concentrate on it out of the gate. Rain develops by early evening, with a band of wet snow developing along the northern and eastern edge of this. A narrow corridor of heavy wet snow will show up, but the exact placement of this is still tough to hone in on.

Here’s my call for snowfall…

You will notice I’ve added some notes to the snow map. I’m going to start doing this will all future snow maps to avoid confusion.

Not everyone in the forecast areas will actually reach the totals, and a few may exceed them.

A Winter Weather Advisory is out for much of central and eastern Kentucky…

The NAM continues to be at the high end of the snow forecast…

The Hi Res isn’t too far behind…

The GFS is similar, but has  MUCH more narrow snow band…

With all of the above maps, you can clearly see the sharp cutoff on the northern and southern edges of this thing.

Whomever gets the snow will be dealing with a very wet snow which can cover roads for a time. This action will quickly move away early Saturday, with a lot of melting ensuing.

Our next system on Sunday is not being handled well by the models. The new GFS is more spread out with the system…

The Canadian Model came north and is stronger than earlier runs…

The Hi Res NAM only goes out far enough to capture the early stages of this system, but it’s pretty far north with the low into southeastern Kentucky…

My concern is, all of a sudden on Saturday, we see the models show converge on a stronger system into southeastern Kentucky.

The south option is very much on the table, but the north option has better odds at the moment. Stay tuned!

I will update things again later today, so check back. Make it a good one and take care.
