Good evening, everyone. Our Christmas Eve Eve is a mild and dry one across Kentucky and this setup carries us through the big day. As we head into the final weekend of the year, we have a major pattern change ready to take place.

I’m not going to touch on the mild weather because y’all know all about that.

The NAM is still trying to throw in a few sprinkles in here for Christmas Day…

The change comes this weekend into the closing days of the year, but the details of it still have to be ironed out.

The GFS is actually the only consistent model in what it’s showing, but that doesn’t make it right. I gives us thunderstorms, gusty winds, a major temp drop and some wraparound snows by Sunday night and Monday…

Here’s the temp crash associated with that system…

And the wind chills…

Additional cold blasts are likely into the first week of the new year and the Ensembles have been showing that for a while now. The GFS Ensembles average snowfall (for fun), shows the snow chances through this period…

Have a great Christmas Eve Eve and take care.
