Good evening everyone. I wanted to drop by for a quick update on the potential for some accumulating snows for parts of southern and southeastern Kentucky starting later tonight. The storm across the gulf is just now getting it’s act together and will ride northeast toward the coast of the Carolinas over the next 24 hours. The models have been moving a tad farther north with each run and the latest round of model runs bring a swath of accumulating snows into some areas.
Here is what the new GFS shows for snow from late Tonight through Wednesday…
The snows across the southeast would come in a couple of waves with the first late tonight into Tuesday. This would be snow from the actual storm itself and could be to the tune of an inch or two… with a little more in the higher elevations. The rest would fall from late Tuesday through Wednesday night as upslope snow showers kick in. I think Tuesday night can lay down, at least, a coating of snow across much of the area.
This is a storm to keep a close eye on for the folks across the south and east as it would not take much more of a northward jog to bring decent snows into those areas. This is something the blog has been talking about for several days now and the overall setup for a big storm around here is thisclose from being there.
You can track the northward move of the precip here…
I will have more with the full update later tonight. Have a great evening and take care.

Nice!
If it’s going to snow, I say bring it on!!
Otherwise, let the sun shine!
Thanks for the update Chris! If I have to work saturdays.. Let it snow let it snow!
alot of precip. moving into south east ky.. nothing here yet, in knox co..
precip. down here so far is nothing more than Verga. and it appears to be drying up as well…
Looks like if this starts to reach the ground SE KY could get a couple inches pretty easy tonight.
Thanks for the update, Chris. Looks like more of a nuisance snow for us here than anything else. But, if the models move any farther north, we might be talking a different story.
We have actually had a winter this year, for the first time in a long time. Would have liked to see more good snows here, but, since it is getting late in the season, I am ready to see some sunshine, and warmer temps. Our grass is already starting to have hints of green,and that whets my appetite for springtime.
Thanks for the update, Chris. Looks like a nuisance snow for us. Since it isn’t looking like any more than that, bring on the sunshine! (Makes the cold temps easier to deal with!) 😉
Light snow coming down here in Whitesburg, nothing sticking though. Temp. 33
