Good Saturday, folks. It’s a busy first day of December with showers and storms, and high winds rolling across the bluegrass state. This is in response to another big storm system rumbling across the center part of the country. This is also bringing a nice spike in temps, but winter is ready to take control again next week.

Today is not one of those days where it rains all the time. The farther east you live, the better the weather will be. Areas of central and western Kentucky will have the best chance for thunderstorms going up. One way moves through very early this morning with additional storms going up later today. Some of those storms may be strong or severe, producing high winds and some hail.

Here’s today’s Severe Weather Outlook from the Storm Prediction Center…

Gusty winds will noted outside of thunderstorms and could reach 40mph-50mph at times.

As the low goes by to our northwest, better weather moves in here for Sunday. Skies will be partly cloudy with temps in the upper 50s to low 60s. Winds will still be gusty, but nothing like today.

Temps will quickly drop on Monday as a cold front moves through. A shower will be possible along and ahead of the boundary, with a some snow showers or areas of light snow behind it. That should carry us into Tuesday and Wednesday…

Some light accumulations are possible during this time. Temps will be very cold during this time, as we wait to see what happens with a system moving in late next week into the following weekend. The models continue to be all over the place in terms of how that system may or may not impact our region. The signal for a southern stream storm system has been there for a while, but the details are a long way from being known.

The models all have some kind of system, but differ on how to handle it. The GFS and European Models have a pretty good snow hit for the bluegrass state…

Again, we still have plenty of time to watch the progress of this system, but it continues to have a very interesting look.

I will have updates later in the day. Until then, here are your tracking tools for the day…
