Good Tuesday to one and all. Some parts of the state will be seeing some snow today as old man winter keeps on doing what he has been doing for more than three months now. A storm system across the gulf of Mexico states is cruising toward the coastal Carolinas today and is taking a snowy swipe at the region.
Take a look at just how close this storm was to becoming a biggie around here…
GFS This Morning
This Afternoon
This Evening
A period of light snow should be pushing across parts of the southern and southeastern Kentucky this morning into the early afternoon hours. Temps will be close to the freezing mark so whatever falls will be on the slushy side. The timing on this could impact the morning commute in a some areas.
As the low pressure winds up off the east coast… northwesterly winds will bring snow showers to the region Tuesday night into Wednesday with a few of those sticking around into Wednesday night. Combine the stuff with today and the snow showers that will fall over the next few days and your snowfall may look something like this…
It is March so we will deal with some melting issues during the afternoon hours of each day. 
You can track the wintry weather here…
Highs will stay in the 30s through Friday. That leads us to the weekend and it is looking like one heck of a nice weather weekend as warmer air surges in here. Highs by Saturday will make a run toward 50 and should be close to 60 by Sunday as both days feature sunshine.
Highs by Monday could go well into the 60s as southwesterly winds increase ahead of a storm across the plains states. This system will bring a chance of rain to us by Monday night into Tuesday and this will be followed by more chilly air.
Ok… thats all I have for you right now. Help us out by posting the weather conditions where you are. Have a great Tuesday and take care.

We got some light snow falling here in knox co. nothing sticking yet though…
Thanks for the update Chris…I for one will be looking forward to those 50’s and 60’s for the upcoming weekend and early next week…:)
We had a few flurries here
We have moderate snow falling here starting to stick to the grass.
Light Rain/Snow mix falling in NW TN (Weakley County)
Light snow falling in Hazard.
It started as just snow grains about 45 minutes ago, and now is closer to a light snow. the temp at 36 and dew point at 30, showing heavier precip moving into somerset from the south. looks like it should be rain by 11:30 or so…
Light snowing flurries flying in Pikeville.Be careful these side roads in spots esp where coal trucks drive and there is oil on the road slick I hit a patch and went sideways it was solid ice but Rolo I should have took that curve a little slower lol.
Moderate snow in Whitley Co.
snow not snowing lol that curve shook me up.It didnt help my husband was in front of me and saw me go sideways.As Rolo always says slow down that includes me lol!!!!!!!
Last night the chief met on the local CBS affiliate here in Cincinnati mentioned that there were no tornadoes in the United States in the month of February!
Compare this to Feb 5-6, 2008, which is the biggest tornado outbreak – at least to affect Kentucky – that I can ever remember (I was alive in 1974 but too young to recount it).
Snow starting to fall in Manchester, just flurries at the moment.
Ok, this is too weird. On WKYT, it just scrolled across the screen that several counties in central KY were under a tornado warning. I even had to rewind (thanks to DVR) to make sure I wasn’t losing my mind. Isn’t it too cold for tornadoes? LOL Did anyone else happen to see?
Statewide drill at 10:07. You weren’t imagining things! But nothing to be concerned about just a drill.
just a tornado drill
I was watching the Discovery Channel and it toned out a Tornado Warning on it also. I jumped up and looked out and it’s snowing, so I came on here to see what is happening.

moderate to heavy wet snow falling here in knox co… big heavy,wet flakes falling…
Wow…the GFS model is doing an excellent job again. The cutoff on this stuff is exactly where the GFS placed in during the last few days. Snow in southeast KY…sunshine trying to break through in Frankfort! GFS deserves a cookie for this Winter.
light dusting here in knox co. with moderate snow, if it were colder it could have been a good little snowstorm…
Snowing pretty hard here in Somerset right now with Big fat flakes!!!! No real accumilation just yet though, crossing my fingers for a little bit of white stuff on the ground…….
Snow is really falling here in Whitley County. The ground is really covered. Not sure about the roads – I don’t have one visible from the homestead. Are we supposed to pick up any real amounts or should I worry about slick roads today? Thanks!
I noticed that the NWS in Nashville has upgraded to Winter storm Warnings for several counties bordering Ky..along the cumberland plataeu. Including crossville,and cookeville,yet no adv. on the ky. side!!! Hmmmm…
snow is really coming down here in knox co. at the moment, good coating so far.if it had of came during the night we could have already had 2+ inches..but that March sun angle is melting alot of what is falling…
coming down good in Knox,yards are covered but roads are clear
snow still really coming down here in Knox co. as well. If it had came during the overnight hrs. we would have done surpassed the 2″ mark easily…but that March sun is melting alot that is falling…
moderation
Snowing good, but it looks like the March sun is winning the battle.
we probably would have squeezed out a good 2 or 3 inches out of this system if it had occured during the overnight hrs…but that March sunshine has the power even through thick cloud cover and heavy snow falling…
bell co. schools dismissing at 1pm..
still snowing hard here in knox co. around 1/2″ on the grassy surfaces…
If this had occured during the nighttime hrs.. we could have easily gotten 2 to 3 or more inches by now..
No snow in Boyle County – Clouds are thick but seems brighter today. Still waiting on the little bunny for Easter.
what is your prediction for one more snow fall in the boyle county area? Would love to see one more snow fall and then flowers and green grass for my toes to rest in.
One more snow fall would be nice and can any one predict what march could hold for us. would like to walk in the warm sun and no shoes would be great.
Wow, it’s really coming down now!
I am new here, but I will take a stab at what march holds for us. Honestly, the whole state isint out of the woods for snow yet, you folks out in the eastern part of the state have the best shot at a decent snow though. Temps will be average to slightly below most days, but at always in amrch, expect those temp swings, like this weekend, parts of the state could hit the mid and upper 60s. Thunderstorm activity will be below average, if we get any at all. I dont really expect this to be to big of a year severe weather wise, but april and may will be the time to watch. Dont expect a true spring pattern to come in until mid april. I think this spring and summer wikll be a repeat of last year, maybe slightly warmer. One thing to watch though, if we do go into a period of no rain, which some people are saying might happen, expect the temps to be alot warmer than they should be. Well there is my take on march and even a little past that. Have a good evening everyone.
Ready for spring here. Would like to have seen a true big snow here this year (about 5 inches or so the biggest one here at my place in Knox). A bunch of snow this year, but not any old school snows at one time. Bring on the sun and the beach. I’m ready to get outside.
I just watched the weather. Channel 18 anc 27 are giving just some flurries for tonight. I am trusting Chris and hoping that we get some more snow here in southeastern KY. Does anyone else think we will get anything tonight. He has got most of Clay County in 1-3 inches.
Here in Floyd co. we are dealing with a light mix, but seems to be more sleet than anything, was really coming down about 15 min. ago, but is tapering down now.
checking in, close storm this one was for SE/S KY.
No school in Pike county.
Chris,
Are we still supposed to get wrap around snow later on tonight?
Does se ky still have a chance of
getting snow later tonight?
moderation heaven
Well that snow fizzled out…
Now since TG is sayin’ the weekend in the 50’s wonder if we will even get another snow with accumlations of more than 2 inches.
However, it did snow some this mornin’ into the afternoon but it soon stopped. But it was sooooo PRETTY…. 🙂 🙂 🙂
