Good afternoon, everyone. I wanted to drop by for a few quick thoughts on the winter storm moving into our region. Rain, sleet, snow and freezing rain are all likely across the state through tonight, with rain and snow lingering through Thursday night.

A Winter Weather Advisory is out for much of the state…

I’ve seen nothing to change my mind from the thoughts I’ve been laying out for the past few days…

Is that going to work our perfectly? No, but it gives you a general idea of how this may play out through tomorrow night.

It’s interesting to note the cold air today is stronger than many of the model forecasts. That will certainly play a role in the precipitation types and may offer up more frozen precipitation. With that cold holding, ground temps and road temps are slipping. Much of this changes to plain old rain by morning.

The various computer models are still hitting the freezing rain potential pretty good. I’m especially noticing an uptick from the Lexington metro to Louisville down the Interstate 65 corridor. We may really need to watch this area..

Hi Res NAM

The Canadian continues to have a nasty look…

The GFS is much lighter…

Far western Kentucky is still in line for a healthy snowfall with several inches a good bet. The GFS continues to hint at some better snows back into eastern Kentucky late Thursday as the upper level low crashes in from the west…

Upper lows can sometimes become overachievers in terms of snow.

I will get your full tracking tools on later today and will have constant updates on WKYT-TV starting at 4pm. Here are your radars to track the precipitation in…

Make it a good one and take care.
