Good Sunday evening. Showers continue to roll eastward across the state this evening as a cold front slowly inches toward the region. Rain will become much more scattered overnight into Monday as winds begin to gust up. 35-40mph gusts will be possible Monday as colder air settles in by the end of the day.

That colder air will set the stage for the possibility of some wet snow from a southern storm Tuesday night into Wednesday. I still do not have much confidence in how this thing will work out as we have quite the model spread. The European and GFS have trended farther south and weaker with this system, while the NAM is farther north and stronger…

NAM 1

That would bring a swath of accumulating snow to parts of the state with a mix for others. The farther north and stronger solution does have support from the Short Range Ensemble Forecast Model…

GFS

We will see what the overnight and Monday runs say before we get too specific on how much of an impact this storm will have where you live.

Regardless… winter is coming back hard and that’s what we’ve been yelping about for a while. I see others have now joined the party. It’s B.Y.O S… Bring Your Own Snow. 🙂

The weather for this coming weekend looks wicked with arctic cold, wind and snow. Look at the direct discharge of arctic air diving into our region on the European Model…

Euro

You also see the Euro is blowing up a big storm to our east and northeast. Will that be far enough west to have a significant impact on Kentucky? That remains to be seen, but several snow makers are likely to dive in from the northwest during this time…

CanadianWe will have additional snow threats coming in behind that for the following week.

I will see you guys with another update later tonight. Enjoy the rest of your evening and take care.
