Good afternoon, folks. It’s a blustery and  cold day following last night’s snow across central and eastern Kentucky. This cold air grows even colder tonight as an arctic front moves through with more flakes for many of us. These systems keep coming at us through the weekend and into next week, when the Polar Vortex pays a visit to the states.

Snow showers continue to fly across the southeast as a northwest flow continues…

Some additional light accumulations are possible tonight as the arctic front moves in with a round of light snow and snow showers. Winds will be very gusty and that will take Friday morning wind chills to -5 to +5.

Another light snow maker targets the region late Friday evening into early Saturday morning. That may also lay down light accumulations with a few snow showers behind it on Saturday…

At the end of that, you can see the next system quickly diving into the Mississippi Valley. That system shows up across Kentucky on Sunday with the potential for more light snow. You can see that and the systems before it on the NAM…

The Polar Vortex is heading toward the United States and arrives early next week. Watch this monster…

I told you more than a month ago that you would be hearing the term Polar Vortex soon. Well, now you’ve heard it. 🙂

That will be introduced by a system bringing accumulating snow Monday night and Tuesday and may have another sneaky snow maker right after that…

Snow in arctic air is awesome cause you can get ratios of 30 or 40 to 1.

Historic temps are possible across much of the country for the middle and end of next week. Look at the lows coming off the GFS…

For fun, check out the wind chill forecast for the exact same time on Wednesday night…

This might be a good time to do a little extra weatherproofing on your car and home.

I will have the latest on this extreme period of winter weather coming up on WKYT at 4pm and here on KWC this evening. Make it a good one and take care.
