Good Sunday afternoon my fellow weather lovers. Your friendly weatherdude is just dropping by for a quick update on the batch of light snow that is moving in this evening and on how the rest of the week ahead is looking.
The snow is breaking out just ahead of a pocket of very cold air rotating in from the northwest. As expected… temps ahead of the clouds and snow warmed into the 40s but that has no bearing on the light snow moving in. This will likely put down a small accumulation of an inch or less across the north and east. You can track the snows here…
Snow flurries and snow showers will continue into Monday with highs in the upper 20s to near 30. Another batch of snow will move in Monday evening into Monday night as northwesterly winds strengthen. This is the setup that can deliver another light accumulation… especially across the eastern areas. Upper 20s again for highs on Tuesday.
That brings us to the middle and end of the week. The models are going toward less phasing of the jet streams, meaning a weaker storm. Still this will bring snows to our region beginning later Wednesday and lasting into the weekend. How much depends on a lot of factors and we still have several days to see them play out. Even if the storm coming out of the gulf is fairly weak… the arctic plunge moving in will likely produce some very good snows around here from Friday into Saturday… some very good ones. Here is how the European Model looks…
Thursday Morning
Friday Morning
Saturday Morning
That is minus 20 air showing up at 850mb across the area. Brrrrrrr! That can produce teens for highs on Saturday. Ok… that’s all I have for you right now. Have a good evening and keep us updated on the light snow moving in. Take care.

Watching my Bengals for the first signs of this band of snow. However, nothing oing on in Cincy just yet.
Thanks for the afternoon update, Chris. Snow looks to be moving into northwestern parts of the state now. Don’t htink we will see any out of this batch, but, you never know! At least, I know to dress warmly for work tomorrow, and the rest of the week! Looks like I am gonna need the scarf, as well as the ear muffs and mittens! Be looking for more on the mid-week, New Years weekend storm later! Thanks again!
Nothing going on in Cincy in terms of offense either. So glad I’m not a bungles fan.
Snow band looks like it may clip parts of central Kentucky as well. As least thats how it looks on radar right at this moment.
Looking forward to updates on the New Year’s snows Chris!
Hey Packman, you quit watching too soon….the Bengals are about to win this one!!! GREAT interception guys!
Furries in Boone county.
Jefferson Co- large what fluffy things falling from the sky! We are unclear what they are.
PLEASE just let it happen after tomorrow! My little one is getting her tonsills out tomorrow, and don’t want to have to have her out in it. My family is STILL digging out from the snow in Texas! 🙂 All prayers grately accepted for my little on tomorrow, first time going under. I’m very nervous about it!
To all Bengals fans:
Just wanted to say congratulations on the divisional title…
You guys were awesome the entire year and you “earned” it..!
Good luck in the playoffs and do the AFC north proud…!
My prayers and thoughts will be with you and the little one.
aww, Chelle…she will do just fine! It’s what she does/doesn’t do once she’s home that makes the difference! Lots of advancements made since I had mine out in ’66.lol!:) I was 4, the little girl in the rm. w/ me was 6..had mine yanked out, no biggie..she had hers out the next day and the kid screamed and squalled so badly that the only thing that calmed her down was ME READING TO HER!!;) Now, my cousin (she’s 19, I think)just had hers out and her mama is going nuts because Linsey isn’t doing anything the doc’s told her & keeps having to go to the ER for one reason or another(bleeding,pain, etc etc) Ever notice that the older we get, the more babyfied we get?? LOL!
thanks you two. I know she’ll be fine, I just dont do well, if my kids aren’t. and yes Medicine has come a long way! A friend of my just had hers out last month, at 36 and she was good within a week. we have 86 popsicles, ice cream, pudding, jello, and someone willing to bring KFC taters and gravy if she wants it lol. Thanks for caring!
Congratulations to the BENGALS FANS, except for CHRIS!! haha Hopefully they win their 1st SB!!!!!
Saints vs Colts SB?? UNLESS BENGALS make a run!!
flurries in versailles now temp fell from 43 to 36.
well looks like its gonna be a lack luster week all these weak storms comming this week
Oh well, the models are pretty fickle. I won’t believe in a big snow until I see it flying and on the ground. We have been tantalized by the possibilities on models WAY too many times over the last several years. In Somerset seeing is believing. I enjoy the blog Chris, keep doing what you are doing.
Chelle: My prayers will be with you and the little one tomorrow. I know you are a nervous wreck. Things will be OK.
Light snow flurries and getting colder.
Don’t forget about my beloved Chargers Bernie. We are playing pretty good football ourselves…
RIP 15.
Typical lame long range forecast from JKL. That guy loves to blow off any chance of wintry precip.
I’ll be praying for her and you also!
OHH yeh! Chargers looking pretty strong too!!
Chelle-
Our thoughts and prayers are with your littleone. Please let us know how she is doing!!!
You both will be in my prayers.I have been in many of those surgeries she will do fine some sore throat but the ice cream will do wonders.They usually do better than mom.
Once again a big event erodes as time progresses. My prediction is with high confidence that this winter for central KY is more bark than bite. A few inches by a clipper will be our big events. Eleven years to back me up. December is a preview, with big events all around us. Still would like to know why a big chunk of KY has become a transition zone for big snow events. Again, eleven years is too long of a gap to deny.
Not to say we will never get hit, but likely as random a chance as Powerball;)
Snow is coming down pretty good here in Lawrenceburg. Objects are covering over in a hurry. Wind Chill 23 degrees.
About a half inch with gusty winds here in Simpsonville (20 miles east of Louisville)…still coming down
Snow is coming down pretty hard here in Lexington.
What are your thoughts on the New Years system(s)? Do you think central kentucky will be able to squeeze a couple inches out of it?
Snowing in Versailles as well! 31.6F temp. Just a dusting so far. I don’t expect a whole lot more.
Well, someone (or some people) from Georgetown won won the Powerball last night! 128 Million Dollars!
Boyle County- 36* flurries
Go Tigers!
Yep I am a Clemson fan. My dad was employed there his whole life and I attended there many many years ago.

Have a great game, but hope you loose..!
GO CATS….!
Lol. You too. Actually I expect it to be a very well played game by both.
Dont count out the steelers yet! There still alive and making some steam. When there on there game they can beat anybody.ITs not over for them just yet
Steelers are in if any of these scenarios play out:
1) Pittsburgh win + Houston loss/tie + New York loss/tie
2) Pittsburgh win + Baltimore loss/tie + Denver loss/tie + New York loss/tie
3) Pittsburgh win + Houston loss/tie + Baltimore loss/tie
+ a bunch of scenarios involving Pittsburgh ties
For #3 – New York/Denver/Pittsburgh are tied @9-7
5-seed) New York & Denver are tied in Conf. Record; Pitt is eliminated;
New York will win the Common Games tie-break with Denver;
6-seed) Pittsburgh/Denver are left;
Pittsburgh will win HTH against Denver
We’ll keep you and your family in our prayers. We went through the tonsils and adnoid surgery about 4 years ago with my son. He was 5 and he did great. (he did a lot better than I did).
Just left northern Franklin County, they have more snow than we do on the southern end of 127. We have also had a little sleet mixed in at times and that wind is cold!!!!!!
Chelle both my girls had there taken out they did fine But i will have you and your little girl in our prayers….
Flurries in Hustonville… wind is really bad.
Snow and windy here in eastern Mason Co.; It’s difficult to get an accurate measurement of the snow, but it appears to be 1-1/2 to 2 inches, and it is still coming down! Beautiful!!! 🙂
I thought you were going to keep it zipped till monday.
Looks like at this point, its starts as snow.. goes back to rain.. then back to snow.. the max qpf is around .30-50″ statewide, with WAA cutting the totals down, this is one of them systems that you wish you could fast forward to the next one! lol
1-3″ for extreme eastern Ky is likely at this point to welcome 2010!
Hi Patty
Forgot to post.. We have a dusting here.
Madison County – Berea
Moderate snow
33°
No my thoughts from yesterday are unchanged. You can’t trust the EURO model and the snows that bring in the new decade here will be very weak, if it happens at all.
Snow coming down pretty hard here in south Lexington, wind whipping it around. Roads wet, probably be icy by morning.
Just got a report of a car overturned on the Bluegrass Parkway here in Anderson County. Apparently the roads are getting SLICK here. Snow still coming down hard. Use caution!
Yes…roads are dangerous near Bluegrass Pkwy now.
BG Parkway eastbound is shut down at 60 milepoint due to weather/accident.
40 degrees and snow here in Knox County lol HMM wonder if it will stick 😉
.2 in here in versailles snow is done now.
Hey MikeM….You at work?
From past historical snows here, did the forecasters see any of them coming, or were they all surprise storms? I know the 1998 one was a shock, and I’m sure the Jan 1994 one was too because we were supposed to get it in western NC and it completely missed us as the moisture went straight up into KY. Personally I’m wondering why WAA wasn’t involved in that storm…..Anyway, it just seems all the snows that occurred here in the past were all surprise storms….Am I wrong?
Yea, I’m pulling a different shift covering for somebody on vacation. See if you can get Mitch to tell us what’s gonna happen this week. The same old naysayers are out there with their negative predictions.
Hi all 36 in Pikeville no snow falling currently but its cold.I hope we get an inch or 2 but I guess thats wishful thinking.The winds are howling.Come on snow.
Maybe….they will call me to be their lawyer.
Seems to be that way anymore, 8-10 are surprises that they sometimes feel won’t phase or too much WAA.. as I recall Apr 87, Mar 93, Feb 1998, where surprises. I’m sure there is a few more that I don’t remember living in Pike Co, it was common to get 6″+ snows, with just about every time they called for snow.
Thank you all so much for the extra prayers…..never hurts! We have a light dusting here in Nicholasville, kind of glad we don’t have to be there until 10:15….hopefully roads won’t be icy! 🙂
What about it Mitch!? Us fellow woodford countians want your predictions!
A light dusting on the ground here in East Bernstadt.
Uhhhh. I am in England- Yeah- THAT’s the ticket. 😉
I expected the model wheels to fall off tomorrow, rather than today, but they are already trying to fall of the road.
Sorry for my premature postualtion.
00z gfs advertises a very cold first half of Jan euro operational through day 10 doesn’t look all that warm either and I had a look the euro weeklies which also advertise cold right through mid month.
It’s 31 at East Point, light snow falling.
00z GFS puts much of the US in the deep freeze through mid month…wow..crazy cold stuff
1/2” here in southwest lexington.
Boyle County- 26* A frost of snow on the ground. Thus far this season less than an inch for the majority of this county including me.
