Good evening, gang. Our latest round of light snow is working across parts of the region and could cause some travel problems. I will hook you up with the trackers on that one in a moment. We also have other snow makers to track in the coming days.
The next clipper arrives late Thursday into early Friday. That’s a rain to light snow maker that may be similar to what we had last night and this morning.
The bigger system appears to be on target for Super Bowl Weekend. The European Model has a nice snow hit for the entire state…
That’s a system that basically moves due eastward across the lower Tennessee Valley and is similar to what the Canadian was showing earlier.
The European Ensembles show a similar idea…
Again, we aren’t focusing on any one run of any one model. Just watch the overall trends and how the storm system keeps showing up. It’s nowhere near a slam dunk from this far out, but it is certainly something that should have our attention.
Let’s get back to tracking tonight’s light snow maker…

Make it a great evening and take care.
Is this the only round of snow or can we expect a little more after midnight?
Ok that’s more like it. The earlier update you posted had southern ky getting the most in the way of snow. We all know places like somerset NEVER land in the “sweet spot” for accumulating snow. Looks like IF it verifies we will get sloppy cold rain with a backside dusting. Much more realistic.
I would like one of two things to happen:
Double digit snow storm or spring and 80…
34 w/rain or cold and dry, NO THANK YOU!
agree 100% We have had enough of that weather
And the rich get richer if that model was to play out. I liked the model from the previous post better not that either of them are correct. 😉
Earlier a CEO of a large grocery chain was gloating like a fat cat on the weather channel. lol
the futher north trend starts as we get closer, by Wed it be all rain from I 64 south.lolll sad but true..
Not even going to mention the NW shift. The Ville is in the sweet spot. But it is the Euro though.
Thanks for the update CB. Hope all the models come around for a decent snow for the whole state over the weekend.
I prefer that one over the rest of them all together.
Rodger is always amazed at the NWS offices. No advisories/warnings for the Fri event and today’s afternoon Paducah discussion downplaying the weekend event, particularly as their always beloved GFS is minimizing it. Rodger hoping they’ll be wiping egg from their faces by Saturday!
Yea, I’m over here in Paducah, and I’ve been just as amazed on how they have nothing noted this weekend in the forecast.
It is interesting that this NE blizzard may play a part in the next storm as to where it ends up, maybe over us? Unfortunately, we don’t have be nearly the time to prepare that they do up there, since we have to now cast usually.
I want a government weather job! Nowcast all storms- brilliant!
Talk about winning! 😉 🙂
Do you need experience or can I just put down the blog as my reference.? I can forecast from my living room window with the best of them.
And from there, nourish the mind with a magic liquid that has hundreds of thousands of data bubbles 🙂
Guessing on how many bubbles…… Does it really matter? Cheers! 🙂
I’m not sure your liver can survive much more winter ‘celebration’. 😉
Is there anymore snow to come thru overnight?
I’d trade a big snow for a snow that covers the entire state.
Even if it was just a couple of inches, it would be great for everyone to get a taste.

Btw, our Snow Dome cracked a little this morning. We ended up with about 1/4″ in Berea and it looked as though it hadn’t snowed further north all the way up 75 to 118 exit. I think the last time we had more snow than Fayette happened was the first or second snow in Oct ’13.
Blizzard forecasts for Philly seem to be busting and quite possibly NYC as well. Lots of lost revenue for airlines potentially canceling needlessly and won’t it be a site for roads to be shutdown around NYC with little to no snow on them! Darned if you do, darned if you don’t. Beantown still in the bullseye.
Wind blowing around the snow they have so far is the concern. Visbility is the major concern in nuclear and philly . Impossible to fly in and out of airports without visbility. The airports did the correct thing!
That was New York city not nuclear.
Precip does seem to be having trouble building as far west as Philly, but the low is only at 989mb, and is projected to drop into the upper 970s, so the system is really just in the middle of winding up.
I would say that the forecast for 2′ in and around NYC is probably unlikely, especially given the E-W motion of bands (no one area is getting stuck under it right now), but with 3-4″/hour snowfall rates, it wouldn’t take long to go from a few inches to a foot, so combined with the winds, airports probably made the right call.
(Checked the radar again after typing this, the more I look at the national radar mosaic, the more it does look like Philly is really gonna underperform, its really taking a while for the heavy banding to spread west)
12z GFS now brings the low right over top of us for the weekend system. Another washout with backside flurries. Last year at this time I was in Key West and it snowed in Somerset. Guess I missed our bi-decade snow. Oh well at least the days are getting longer.
