Good afternoon, everyone. Cold air continues to settle into the region from the northwest. This is being accompanied by a few showers that will change to snow showers later today into tonight. This kicks off a very wintry setup for the rest of the week as we watch to see what kind of impact a late week/weekend winter storm may have on our weather.

In the short term, temps continue to hang out in the upper 30s and low 40s. Showers will increase with flakes kicking in during the evening…

Periods of light snow and snow showers will be around Tuesday into Wednesday, with light accumulations likely. The best chance to put some snow on the ground is Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.

The models are locked in on some light accumulations…

A few delays and cancellations are possible Wednesday.

The next system moves in late Thursday into Thursday night and may put down some light accumulations…

As far as the late week and weekend winter storm potential goes… I have no changes. While we are definitely in the game to be impacted by this storm, it’s too early for any kind of specifics. It all depends on the track of the low and we are still a few days away from having that one figured out.

The Canadian continues with a big Kentucky hit…

The new version of the GFS is also a huge Kentucky hit…

The ICON has a similar setup…

The bias of the GFS is for the model to be too far south and east with storm systems. The current model is living up to that bias…

Of course, there’s always the chance of the blind squirrel finding the nut, but that kind of a setup seems pretty unlikely.

I will have the latest on WKYT-TV starting at 4pm and will have another blog update this evening. Make it a great day and take care.
