Good Wednesday and happy travels. Today is the busiest travel day of the year and it’s also the day we pay tribute to one of my favorite movies… Planes, Trains and Automobiles. We’ve been doing this for many years now and it’s become a blog tradition. If you haven’t seen it… watch it and you can thank me later. 🙂
A massive winter storm is rolling up the east coast and is throwing some wintry weather into parts of eastern Kentucky. This moisture begins in the form of rain then goes over to a mix of rain and snow then to snow early Wednesday. The best chance for accumulations will be across the southeastern corner of the state with a sharp cutoff to the west and northwest.
Temps will be marginal and the ground is fairly mild, so that has to be taken into consideration. The snow will pull away late morning into the early afternoon.
Track the fine line of snow walking…
Clouds will be noted across the rest of the region as another system dives in quickly this evening. This system is pretty wound up as it enters western Kentucky and slides to the east. Rain and snow will break out as this rolls through with a band of accumulating snow likely along and just north of the weak area of low pressure.
The best chance for some accumulations from this will be along and south of Interstate 64…
Some light snow and flurries will linger into Thanksgiving Day with highs in the 30s.
I will have updates later today, so check back. I leave you with this…
Have a safe day of travels and take care.
Not even a sprinkle of rain here in carrie of knott co, temp hovered around 40 all night
Hey Chris….Where is my snow?? I was sure disappointed when I woke up…the sun is shining down on the border!!! Please Please tell me I will get snow from at least one of the systems!!!!!!! 🙂
Yes!!!
RIP John Candy
Those are not two pillows!!!
The westward trend didn’t win this go around. The storm was shunted off a bit further east. It didn’t even rain down here in East Tennessee. Sun is breaking out this morning.
Good news, actually, with all the travelers heading out today–including me. Heading home to KY country.
Yeah nothing here in Athens either..be safe..
Maybe the wrong side of the mountains for a westward trend.
not one flake in Bell County and now it’s Virginia getting the snow. Interesting.
You’ll never make the six.
check out the weather starting Saturday — 6 straight days of 60 degrees ….. I will take it for the first week of December.
I think Chris has been saying for awhile that the first week of December would turn warmer after this cold snap.I don’t mind the 60s for a few days.Yesterday and today has been just beautiful.If we get a little snow for Thanksgiving that would be great but if not we still plenty of time for snow.
It has gotten cold a little early for me anyway.Be interesting to see who gets what tonight.
Those Wx Underground radars look different, did they change something..?
What i said. nw treend wasnt gonna happen cause that would give our area snow. mother nature doesnt like that.
Warming trend. guess its the annual dec warming trend. we seem get that almost every dec. Its usually late dec into jan tho. think chris said dec should be back and forward with temps.
Be safe on roads everybody. hope all has happy thanksgiving
Great clip from a wonderful movie. Sure miss John Candy, he was great on SCTV too!
Love this time of year.
Maybe a little snow for Thanksgiving a little warmth later this weekend for leaf work- perfect!
Clipper systems are often fun. You never know what you’re in for. Although this looks like a rather tame clipper, I would not be surprised by some 1-3″ amounts especially in central KY perhaps in higher elevation areas of Pulaski and Knox Counties. Otherwise, less than an inch for most who will be affected by the best moisture placement from western KY eastward.
