Good afternoon, everyone. Gorgeous weather continues across the bluegrass state as we get ready to a wild weather ride for the week ahead. Heavy rains, thunderstorms, near record temps, snow and a big temperature crash are on the way.
I’ve been setting the stage for this for a while now. A cold front moves in and hangs around, allowing areas of low pressure to work along the boundary. There is one heck of a temperature gradient showing up with this setup and that will help fuel a lot f precipitation.
The computer model 7 day rainfall numbers are very concerning…

Flooding is certainly a possibility in the week ahead and I can’t even rule out a few strong or severe thunderstorms. Those big thunderstorms may actually come just a few hours before we see some snow. Watch this dramatic temperature drop from Thursday through Friday night…
Watch the transition to some snow in the process…

The action doesn’t stop there. Two more potent storm systems then roll our way late next weekend into early the following week…
This is one energetic pattern that will deliver a ton of precipitation in our region for the foreseeable future. With a pattern that is likely to turn VERY cold again, that will likely include snows deep into March.
I will be on WKYT-TV tonight after the Super Bowl. You can check in with me then or later tonight on KWC. Make it a good one and take care.
Today’s temp is just crazy!!!!
I guess I really don’t believe we will see much snow in the future..again all I see is 99% green(rain) and 1% blue (snow)
Can’t we come up with some kind of name similar to how we name the “Polar Vortex”. Because these temps we’ll be lasting a lot longer(6 days) than the Cold temps we had for 3 days last week.
Lets go RAMS!
Rams got in by RefRoading. Go Pats out of principle! Else I would be Go Saints!
Hahaha I love salty Saints fans. 😉
Bountygate justice!
I totally agree with you. Go Patriots! And it hurts me to say that.
Bubba is dead wrong.
Thanks Chris. Guess I’m going to be wearing boots all week whether it is snowing or raining. But today has been gorgeous! Gives one spring fever, which is cruel when it’s barely February. May as well enjoy what we get. Not good when you have a daughter and two granddaughters with the flu though. Have a good evening everyone.
Interesting article…..

More believable than the other stuff they try to push.
Oh and GO RAMS!
Chris,
Is that snows deep into March or deep Snows in March? 🙂
NWS forecast high of 77 for Thursday. Reminds me of the 80 degree temperatures we also had here last February.
It wouldn’t surprise me to see a 90 degree temp in March if not sooner. If it doesn’t happen this year, I don’t think we will have to wait too long into the future.
Go rams!
Not so fast people ole man winter has other ideas. Enjoy it while we got it!
LoL
We might get a snowstorm but old man winter is getting close to leaving town. Average temps are on the rise and from here on out. I’m looking forward to the time change coming up in a little over a month and more days like today. Just wish the rain would leave town.
He never arrived in my town.

Yea..That’s what we talking about..lol
ICE ICE BABY
Bring it like the Patriots..
That’s the typical over 300 hrs out GFS phantom snowstorm for snow lovers in Kentucky.
Like the models and snow, the Rams let me down, haha! *rim shot* 😉
Big time, I am so bummed LOL!
