Good evening, everyone. Rain is working into the region from the west and we have a lot of drops to come through Saturday night. Heavy rainfall will then be followed by a light snowfall coming Sunday night into Monday as an upper level system drops in from the northwest.
Rainfall through Saturday night will be a general 1″-2″ for many, with local 3″ amounts possible. This could result in some local high water issues, especially if a few thunderstorms get into the mix.
Here are your radars to track the increase in rains…
As the rain ends early Sunday, temps crash from northwest to southeast. That’s when rain and snow develops and works in here as the upper level system shows up. This changes to wet snow Sunday night with snow showers showing up on a strong northwest wind on Monday…
Light accumulations are likely during this time and this should wind up being an advisory type event.
Here are the snow totals on the NAM
The GFS continues to catch on…
Winds are going to be super gusty through the weekend…
Check out those cold wind chills Sunday and Monday…
I’ll see you guys later tonight. Have a good one and take care.
After Monday, lovers of cold and snow might have to wait a while. The first half of December, at least, could end up being a waste with above normal temperatures on average. Here’s hoping that’s wrong, but it doesn’t look promising right now.
Maybe a small chance of severe weather? As many of us recall, that is Chris Bailey’s declared bold prediction for this winter.
In fact, the Storm Prediction Center has a Marginal Risk for western Kentucky early tomorrow. A Slight Risk for southwestern Tennessee including Memphis.
Raining all weekend then snow at the start of the week I love Kentucky Weather
Looks like Jackson NWS is going all in on the snow. Forecast shows snow for both Sunday night/Monday with 2-4 inches total accumulation.
I wanna know what happened to the arctic air and the snowiest December since 2010 models one million humans zero lol if it snowed at 45 degrees look out we would be living in the arctic every winter we are just usually about 10 to 15 degrees short on temperature but hey if I had 3 more numbers on the powerball I’d be a millionaire
Farmer with the models of the last few years, you might as well flip a coin heads or tails, about the same odds. 50/50 of them panning out. I hope not but we may be in for another but becoming normal “brown winter”
But I’m still praying to the snow gods.
Headed for a replay of last winter….little to none for WKY
