Good Wednesday, folks. The current pattern just doesn’t get much more wintry for the month of November across the bluegrass state. Widespread snow showers have caused all kinds of travel issue and frigid temps and gusty winds have produced single digit wind chills. This has been some crazy stuff for so early in the season and is likely a preview of what winter holds for us.

This pattern is about to take a windy and wet break for a few days and I will touch on that in a few. Let’s begin with another frigid weather day in the bluegrass state.

This marks the 11th day of the month with winter precipitation falling from the sky. Snow showers and flurries will still be common this morning with lingering afternoon flakes in the east…

Slick roads this morning will likely lead to delays and cancellations for some. Temps out the door are mainly in the teens with wind chills in the single digits. The rest of the day features a mix of sun and clouds with highs in the 30s, but a wind chill hanging in the 20s.

As the bitter cold moves away on Thursday, another system moves in. This may bring a period of sleet and light freezing rain before a switch to all light rain by late Thursday into Thursday night. The rainy weather then takes us into Friday when some rumbles of thunder try to join the party.

The next storm is deeper and stronger as it wraps up across the Mississippi Valley and rolls into the Great Lakes. That means heavy rain and high winds Friday night into Saturday. Gusts of 40-50mph will be possible and a few of the thunderstorms may even be strong…

The models are bringing the cold back quicker by Monday and Tuesday. They are trying to make the third system more of a snow maker during this time.

Here’s the GFS…

The European is a little weaker but has a similar idea…

The pattern then becomes favorable for a southern tracking storm by the end of next week into the following weekend. It’s a pretty good signal from this far out…

Moral of the story: This wet and windy break from winter this weekend is just a small one that only lasts a few days.

I will have updates later today so check back. Make it a good one and take care.
