Good Monday evening, guys and gals. Cold and calm weather will rule our weather pattern in the coming days. We should see this carry us through New Year’s Day and that’s great news for party goers and travelers. The calm part of the program looks to change this coming weekend.
A little bit of everything will be possible from Friday through Sunday and it all depends on what happens with energy coming out of the southwest. Each run of each forecast model changes from what it was showing with the run before. You know what that means? Even lower confidence than normal in what the models are showing. Is that even possible? 🙂
Here’s how the energy is handled on the GFS…
That will likely change dramatically with the next run of the model.
To quote a wise man…
Enjoy the rest of the evening and take care.
I think Forest says it all. CB, perhaps best safe to say Mix. 😉
As bad as I hate “The Cold Kentucky Rain”, I’ll take it as long as any ice stays north of I-64. Don’t wish ice on anyone but since you guys in the northern counties get all the other types of frozen precipitation (while the rest of get none), you might as well keep the ice if any falls, as well. 😉
Makes sense…. If we get the ice when they get the snow, we should get the rain/mix and they get the ice. Fence logic!
Ohio Valley weather forecasting is like a box of chocolates. You never know what your going to get.
We do in central ky, cold rain.
Are one of those lines a “freezing” line ? What do the numbers mean ??? 510, 584 etc ?
Once you get to this part of the year you need to start seeing some potential. This is the prime time for good shots of snow to start showing up. You have about a 8 week window in January and February to get consistent shots of snow chances. Once it gets into March everything has to line up perfectly to make it happen and more times than not you end up with a cold rain. Has anyone been looking at some long range temperature predictions?
No cold and snow equals lower electric bills for me so it ain’t all bad.
The promising weather maps of a few weeks ago seems to have fanished like jimmy Hoffa, oh well I expected a milder winter this year, cherish any snow you get this year I’m thinking it will be few and far between!
No doubt
Chris hasn’t looked ahead any either…makes me think that there isn’t much to see or the trust in the models isn’t there…
The cold air is there….it just isn’t extending as far south as it did last winter.
We will get two winter storm modes on here in the next 6 to 8 weeks and then, spring will be on its way early, come March.
If ky gets a decent snow storm this winter it will sneak up on us out of no where, we all know how that week away model stuff works out!
