Good Wednesday, everyone. It’s a seasonally cold day across Kentucky as a weak cold front drops in from the north. From there, the focus is on a a milder overall look as we inch closer to Christmas and on a southern storm system that tries to impact our weather.

Let’s start with what’s going on out there today and roll forward. We still have several counties under a Flood Warning…

A weak cold front is crossing the state today, bringing the chance for a snowflake to the north and northeast…

Temps will range from the upper 20s north to the middle 30s in the south. Gusty winds will make it feel much colder and that’s a trend that will take us through early Thursday.

Temps by Thursday afternoon shoot into the upper 30s north to upper 40s west. This kicks off a milder period with temps reaching the 50s for some Friday into the weekend.

At the same time, a massive storm system will be working slowly across the deep south. This will bring a lot of wind and rain to that part of the world, but can it get far enough north to impact our weather? I continue to maintain this is a possibility.

The GFS Ensembles are seeing this…

Many of the operational models are still way south, but they’re coming north a bit. The Canadian actually brings some rain into the state…

The Euro is closer…

Regardless, this is a mild pattern as we head into Christmas week. That will change late in the week, but things aren’t going to feel much like the season as the Grinch does some work.

I will have updates later today. Make it a good one and take care.
