Good late afternoon, gang. Our ugly Super Bowl Sunday rolls on across the bluegrass state as a blizzard rages to our north. The rain continues out there this afternoon before a big temperature drop tonight causes things to ice up a bit for the Monday morning rush.
Temps will stay in the 40s this evening and then drop like the preverbal rock overnight. Check out the temps by Monday morning…
Throw in a period of light snow and some snow showers, and things could get a little dicey for early morning travel. It might be slipper enough to force some cancellations and delays.
Flurries and snow showers will then give way to some late day clearing with very cold winds blowing.
Nothing has changed with the late Wednesday into Thursday setup. A strong cold front dives in from the northwest and tries to hook up with a storm developing in the Gulf of Mexico. The models are not hooking these two up, but are pretty close to making a love connection…

A low along the Gulf coast from 4 days out means Chicago should prepare for another blizzard… right? 😉
Happy Super Bowl Sunday and take care.
“A low along the Gulf coast from 4 days out means Chicago should prepare for another blizzard… right? ;)”
So much sarcasm from CB lately has me thinking he has given up forecasting using computer models. 🙂
CB is probably just as tired of Lucy (models) as we are.
Who can blame him? Lately, they’ve been a joke.
Actually, it’s humbling (and that’s probably a good thing) that man still knows very little about what makes our planet tick.
True but does not stop some trying to redistribute wealth pretending they do 😉
Where’s the like button?
A low could form in Antarctica and still hit our N/NE….{{{sighhhh}}}
Absolutely. Models will do everything but what they say they will. But even a blind squirrel is supposed to find an acorn every once in a while.
…but the nut the BS finds usually runs through Indianapolis and Columbus…
Warm air, rain, cold air, then dry, repeat. That’s pretty much the forecast for the next couple of months….Sigh……..Ready for summer already!
That sounds like a setting on our laundry machine.
Just saw the mayor of NYC on news preparing to shut everything down again. He is worse off than we are on this blog for believing models for snowstorms. He is gonna fall for it twice in a week. I really hope this one misses again. Then maybe the public out cry will be loud enough to trash all these models.
This.
If we don’t get at least a delay out of this thing… well I’m just gonna sit down and cry. Not a single snow day this season so far (the day we closed for cold temps doesn’t count). C’mon Mother Nature just give a little!
I feel your pain.
Maybe we can get a little snow surprise tonight…thank you CB for everything you do for us: Now,what is everyone’s Super Bowl predictions including your’s CB? I say New England wins 31-19….
Hmm… I thought the 06z GFS was a joke at bringing 2 feet of snow along the southeast coast, which includes southern and eastern Georgia, and the Carolina’s. But the 12z ECMWF joined the 06z GFS and also brings 2+ feet of snow in Georgia and Carolina’s?!?! That’s just crazy if that were to happen that far south! Just watch this trend Northwest and pound Georgia/Tennessee with 3+ feet of snow. While KY misses out.
I would die.
this event here now the snow line was kentucky Tennessee border 4 days out
it moved all the way north of Indy
when all three majors models came to a consensus I knew it was over Thursday evening.
Since I actually live in East TN now, I would do a snow dance. 🙂
Interesting to look up past big snows/cold snaps in the deep South. For starters….

Of course, many of us lived through the March 1993 Blizzard that crippled not only parts of KY and TN, but much of the southeast.
3 feet of crippling snow for TN? Couldn’t happen to a nicer state…well, maybe North Carolina…well, I guess Texas too.
Chris I don’t comment on here no more because we all know how some of he people are on here this blog has not been the same for a while but now all I have to say is I want the old Chris back Chris please just give us your best if the model are wrong and you miss one so be at least we had you getting excited about maybe us getting a storm I’m really missing the Chris bailey we have have got to know and love
Huh?
Sorry my keypads been messing up
Marsha, sounds to me you want Chris to hype a storm??? I believe CB gives us his best shot each and every time rather we like the outcome or not. I’m not sure what you mean by old CB new CB he’s the same CB we all have grown to respect.
If so, this is not the year to hype 😉
I was just talking about how excited he use to get not wanting him to hype anything but I guess that why we don’t comment oh will take it how ever you want
Who doesn’t comment you just commented? P.S. CB gets pumped but there really hasn’t been nothing to get overly excited about this winter.
For the first time even our own local weatherman are say ing snow wed nite evenng and Thursday.
One oldy but goody song fits Kentucky’s lack of snow….the Stones’ “We Can’t Get No Satisfaction”! Say amen. Over & out.
How about U2’s, “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For.”
Good one, DjC! Also, “Baby the Rain Must Fall”!
Se ky. Now under a winter weather advisory
This week will be the 17th anniversary of our last major snowfall in Kentucky. We had 19 inches in London from that storm. I am about to give up on ever seeing one to match it. Or even to see double digit snowfall at all.
What? Not in Northern KY. We had 16 inches in the 2008 blizzard.
Extreme northern Kentucky and the Louisville area only. The rest of the state wasn’t impacted by that storm.
Rodger seeing 50s for next weekend. There’s just been very little sustained cold this season, much different from last winter. Rodger says if no snow in the cards, then bring on spring!
Models nailed this one once the storm came on shore and the weather balloons could get the data needed to send out to the models. I believe the models are all crud until then. No use even looking at them until the storm hits the west coast. Have to say traveling home four hours, from the Smokies, in the rain was better than taking 10 hours in the snow. Glad this one missed way way north.
Thanks for the update CB.
Somebody (TWC) shows a map with winter storm warning for SEKY.
Pretty confident in the next 2 weeks there will be a somewhat suprise system that will drop snow across Ky. It will most likely pop up in the models only a couple days at most before.
We’ve been saying and thinking that all winter and to no avail.
Local TV stations in my area Huntington WV have no mention of any precipitation the rest of the week after tomorrow morning. I guess if something is coming they don’t know it or it is going to miss us.
Well Chris I sure hope not another blizzard does not go up that way I feel so sorry for those people they’ve been pounded enough and what you said they’re going to get tonight or tomorrow is plenty we’ve just been very fortunate and we should not complain so what we don’t get any snowwe will just have a long hot summer and I have a pool LOL thanks for all you do
And to think that all this rain could have delivered enough moisture to kill our snow woes….well onto the next system let down…. Maybe since the models for wed/thurs arent showing anything 4 days out theres a chance we could actually see something come about. After all we usually get the opposite of what they show 4-7 days away from the “event”
Haha Richard Sherman and the Seachickens choked it away! Great finish by the Patriots. 🙂
Patriots didn’t finish anything. That game was given to them by the most inept play calling I have ever seen in that situation at the end of a game. I’d fire the entire Seahawks coaching staff
Just for being on the field with an idiot that would make that call.
Disagree with yas, Mike. Tom Brady handed that game to his defense who took care of business. Bad play calling or not, if Butler doesn’t make that pick, Seattle would have run it in.
Exactly my point. New England should have never had the opportunity to pick it off. They should have run the ball. Brainless
Discount double choke II
Loved the half-time show!
