Good afternoon, friends and neighbors. Our Winter Storm ALERT continues for parts of the bluegrass state from late tonight through Saturday night. This is for the potential of several inches of wet snow to fall in a rather narrow corridor.

Temps tomorrow are critical as to who gets a cold rain and who gets a thumping snowstorm. Highs from the NAM continue to come in a littler colder with each run…

I was going to put out a new call for snowfall, but I haven’t seen enough for me to make any substantial changes to what I already have out. Keep in mind, I’m leaving myself some wiggle room with these lines and will tighten them up later today…

This is a VERY tight gradient setting up, with a mile or two being the difference between all rain and heavy snow. As is usually the case, some areas will come in on the under, and a few may hit the over on totals.

I will have a brand new call for snowfall on WKYT-TV starting at 4pm.

Winter Storm Watches will likely be upgraded to warnings and those should be expanded into eastern Kentucky and West Virginia…

Outside of the narrow corridor of heavy snow, it’s all about heavy rain. 1″-2″ of rain will be likely, with local high water issues possible. Some thunder may even rumble. Moral of the story… Saturday is just a nasty weather day.

Looking down the road, the pattern turns milder next week with thunderstorms entering the mix. We will need to watch for a few strong storms and heavy rains before the week is over.

After that, the first week of April is looking cold. Don’t be surprised if we are talking about snow, again. 🙁

#teamspring stinks.

I will have another update this evening. Take are.
