Good afternoon, everyone. Showers are rolling across the region today, kicking off a soggy setup for the next few days. This action comes in waves and may end as a brief period of winter weather later Saturday and Saturday night.

As you know, my time is limited today because of our winter weather forecast show on WKYT. Again, stalk my twitter feed this afternoon and good things may come your way. 🙂

Back to the showers. They’re rolling from west to east…

Heavy rain develops overnight and early Friday, but may take a little break late in the day into the evening. Temps will be chilly during this time.

The next low should roll right on top of eastern Kentucky late Friday night into Saturday. That will have a healthy temp gradient from one side of it to the other. Rain will be noted and winds will gust up. As the low goes by and the upper low spins over us, temps drop and that could lead to a period of mixed precipitation or a few flakes. Again, I don’t expect anything to really come from this other than maybe ‘hey, I see some snow’ .

For some strange reason the NAM lost this low and that’s weird cause it is usually too far west and too strong with systems like this. The GFS still has it…

The ICON has it too…

The system to kick off Thanksgiving week continues to trend farther east on the GFS…

I will try to update again today, but no promises. Make it a good one and take care.
