Good afternoon, everyone. It’s a cold winter’s day across Kentucky as a few flurries and snow showers fly. As we roll ahead, the pattern continues to look mild just in time for Christmas week. Obviously, that’s not good news for anyone wanting a White Christmas. It ain’t happening.

Once again Flood Warnings are out for several areas of the Commonwealth…

The snow showers and flurries are flying, especially across northern and eastern parts of the state. A few coatings will show up…

Temps today stay in the 20s for much of the state, especially in central and eastern Kentucky. Wind chills are deep into the teens. The NAM family and the Canadian nailed today’s cold, while the GFS and Euro were way to warm and couldn’t even find today’s clouds, let alone snowflakes.. This seems to be something happening more regularly than before. The medium range models have had a major struggle to start this winter.

Speaking of the Canadian, it’s the only medium range operational model showing our southern system impacting Kentucky with a few showers this weekend…

I’m still not sold on moisture making it this far north, but I do think there is a decent chance of that happening. Meanwhile, the GFS is on the other end of the spectrum with the storm working through the central Gulf of Mexico…

Temps are pretty darn mild around this into Christmas week. There is likely to be a dramatic swing in the pattern as we head into the final weekend of the year, through.

Make it a good one and take care.
