Good afternoon, everyone. We continue to watch another winter weather maker rolling toward the state for later Wednesday and early Thursday. This kicks off a stretch featuring frequent winter weather makers impacting the weather across the region.

I have no real changes to how I think our system evolves. Rain moves in along and ahead of this front tonight into Wednesday. A major temperature drop takes place just behind the front, leading to a band of mix and snow developing. The best chance of this putting down some snow is across the central and eastern half of the state. Watch how this plays out on the GFS…

Here’s the area with the greatest potential to put some snow on the ground…

This is a situation where a heavier snow band shows up in spurts along the back edge of the precipitation shield. The exact locations of that won’t be known until we nowcast the cold catching up to the precip. You can see what I’m talking about on the models.

Another band of light snow moves in with an arctic front Thursday night. Temps behind this are frigid and may hit the upper single digits in a few spots Friday morning with wind chills below zero.

Another system moves in with some snow on Saturday and Sunday, with additional systems waiting into next week…

The pattern is just itching to amplify one of these systems and turn it into a much bigger storm. As I said last night, you may not see that until within a day or two of it happening.

I will have a First Call For Snowfall on WKYT starting at 4 and on KWC later this evening. Make it a good one and take care.
