Good afternoon, everyone. I wanted to drop by for a very quick update on the blast of winter rolling across the state to start the week. Frigid northwesterly winds are howling as snow showers continue to increase. This action will wind up causing some slick spots later tonight.

Watch how the strong northwesterly wind flow keeps snow showers developing through Tuesday for many, and into Wednesday AM across the southeast…

The models continue to spit out light accumulations…

Even the GFS is FINALLY seeing the wraparound snow showers…

Those models match up with the map I put out last night…

As mentioned, some slick travel may develop after dark and carry us into Tuesday. It doesn’t take a lot of snow to cause slick spots when temps drop into the low and middle 20s like they will tonight. Highs on Tuesday may stay in the 20s for the central and east. Wind chills will be rather brutal by November standards.

The serious cold lifts out by Thursday as a weak system moves in. We are on guard for some sleet or freezing rain on the leading edge of this…

That will be followed by a big wind and rain maker this weekend as temps rebound for a few days. After that… Look out. A very harsh winter pattern will try to take shape next week and take us through the middle of December.

I will have the latest on the cold and snow coming up at 4pm on WKYT-TV. I will also throw you an update later this evening. Until then, here are your tracking tools…
