Good afternoon, everyone. Our arctic front is rumbling toward the state and will bring bitterly cold temperatures and some snow to our region. For that reason, much of eastern and southeastern Kentucky is under a Winter Weather Advisory through early Tuesday.
Here’s a look…
This is a light snowfall with a coating to 2″ possible in the advisory region, with a coating to an inch for some west of that. Still, it will be just enough snow to cause travel issues later tonight and early Tuesday.
Here’s your regional radar to track the action in from the west and northwest…
A second arctic boundary moves in Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, bringing a period of light snow with it. Winds will continue to crank as bitterly cold air keeps pushing in. Readings may drop into the single digits during the day Wednesday and then settle toward zero.
Wind chills go well below zero from late Tuesday night through Wednesday…
Again, those are some dangerous numbers showing up.
As the cold starts to ease on Friday, some overrunning winter weather shows up across the region. This will lead us into a small break this weekend, but the cold crashes back in next week.
I will have another update later this evening, so check back. Make it a good one and take care.
Smart move to take that first call map down.. nothing to see here
Lol
Saturday is mid-winter. We should know how the rest of the winter turns out by the end of the day. He was right last year.
It will be interesting to see who`s correct for the next week, weather wise. Some Louisville Mets, as well as Chris, have been saying this will be a cold February. But the national weather service is calling for temps, starting Saturday, being 45 or above the next 9 days, including some 50`s and 60`s.
I was hoping for a few good snows this coming month.
NWS on this one
Nope
Yep
I vote for the NWS on this one.
Thanks Chris. I’m glad I realize that the blog is what you see and your opinion as to will happen. Dreading the cold a lot! That is serious enough by itself. Yes I want a big snow but we all know winter weather around here is fickle and always will be! I’ll take what we can get and enjoy it! Enjoy the afternoon everyone.
We are going to have 2 days of cold. Only one REALLY cold day here in BG. And no snow chances. I am ready for some boring summer weather now! Please! Lol
So from coating to 2″ to 0″ to a coating. Shocked I tell ya’! 😉
Sure…..
Look at how the maps shifted and snow calls removed. It is warmer now, so as soon as the low hits, the low will be gone before time for much accumulation. Only half way joking in the post.
Blowing snowglobe effect seems the theme, minus the big accumulation when it settles.
Another disappointing snowfall and overall a disappointing winter.
Bring on spring…mild rain beats cold rain.
Doesn’t matter if the cold comes back next week. It won’t have any moisture or staying power. I think we are looking at this up and down weather pattern until true Spring takes hold. And now on to next November when us snow lovers dreams begin anew.
Yes. The normal backside cold. Wash, rinse, and repeat. Heck we can barely get the flurries anymore.
Eventually trends will always break keep that in the back of your mind. The months of February and March can be and have proven to be trend busters, just sayin
Most years I would agree, but not this one, or last one for that matter…. it was supposed to be “backloaded” as well….not
I agree with coffee lady above it is Chris’s opinion, but that’s the problem why everyone gets a little testy, if he would just stick to basics and quit teasing us with his opinion then we wouldn’t be in this predicament. A couple years ago he got lucky a whole winter with his opinion and got this great following including myself but he’s not doing to good the last winter and this winter with his opinion. Soooo my opinion would be just give us the basics of what’s coming and don’t try to be the one making a storm out of every cloud coming our way. Jimbo how many opinions did I type in that small article lol?
The weather pattern could turn around. But the dynamics at the present are in the Great lakes to the Northeast. I’m just glad that the brutal Arctic air is staying to our north and east. I think I can take the cold that’s coming. Too bad for snow lovers. I was looking yesterday at photos of the Blizzard of 1978. Houses completely buried under snow drifts. That was a once in a lifetime storm. Famous last words.
Schroeder please stick to your rules and just post the current weather and conditions in your area. Thank you.
I work shop that idea and decided that wouldn’t be much fun. I decided to go back and try to bring up weather discussions. Thank you Jeff Kidd.
Geez… middle school called and they want their drama back. What grade are you guys in?
Thanks Chris for your hard work! I certainly value your opinion.
As a middle school teacher, LIKE, LIKE, LIKE!
oh well, that’s all I got.
Boyle County right on the edge! What?!? That never happens!! (*Sarcasm)
Chris does a fantastic job and a lot of work posting daily models of what could happen and his expert analysis of possible outcomes. While disappointed that there has not been snow, I am grateful for this unique blog. I would rather see the various models and current data than other meteorological sources that give more simplistic information to the general public. Keep it up, CB!
Which models have been most accurate this winter?
Christie Brinkley 🙂
A vintage model.
Models are good for hype and drama, when it comes to precip, bout it, as we have seen time and time again
Winter weather advisory expanded instead of canceled? What is NWS seeing to expand that advisory? Thoughts?
Possibly just the bitter cold wind chills..brrrrrrr
Anybody notice how the WWA and windchill advisories like puzzle pieces? That sums up this winter pretty good so far.
Fit like
Could use a wind advisory. Winds are kicking in the LouMetro.
Chris Bailey please do us a favor and get rid of these TROLLS. They are absolutely ruining this blog with their behavior. GUYS you need to exchange phone numbers and group message each other and do all your whining and crying privately to each other because I for one am so sicken by your attitudes and disrespect toward a FORECAST that didn’t go your way by a meteorologist who only relates what he is seeing at that time. There is so much I could post about your smirky remarks but it wouldn’t be good, you know who you are. Do us a favor and just stay off the blog.
I have been disappointed many times but I have never taken it out on Chris.
I always interpret the blogs update as climatic possibilities.

Hope the moisture gets out of town before turning over to snow..Not worth it getting a dusting or more trying to travel in the morning..
It’s raining, bet no one saw that coming hahaha
Snowglobe snow! Nice to look at, but doesn’t add to the colder air to make it even colder. We’d easily be sub zero with snowpack.
