Good Monday to one and all. A big change is blowing across the bluegrass state today and this will slap us back into reality. A 30 degree temp drop will be noted today as a cold front moves through here. Throw a wave of low pressure into the mix and you have the recipe for a little bit of light snow.

Temps will drop into the 30s from west to east today as our front pushes in. A wave of low pressure will develop along this front and increase the amount of moisture spreading into the state. Locally heavy rain will be ahead of this boundary and that may cause some local high water issues. The cold air catches the back of the rain and switches it over to a period of light snow. Heres the GFS from this afternoon into tonight..

The NAM is a little more robust with precipitation amounts in the cold sector and even spits out a grassy coating for many areas… 

It will be hard to get anything to stick today because of a wet and warm ground. It may come down fast enough to cover elevated and grassy surfaces for a time.

Snow flurries will be possible overnight into early Tuesday across central and eastern Kentucky. We will need to be on guard for a slick spot or two tonight as readings drop into the 20s.

Looking down the road at our next system. It arrives this weekend and right on cue the models are abandoning this monster lake cutter. They are now taking it eastward across the Ohio Valley and giving us a much colder look. The GFS…

 I wouldn’t be surprised to see it get colder in the coming days. There is likely to be a bigger system that tries to blow up early next week and become a high impact event for the Ohio Valley. The latest GFS has the storm, but is in its typical bias form of having it too far east … 

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