Tracking A Wintry Night

Good evening, guys and gals. Our cold front is marching quickly through the bluegrass state and that’s delivering a big crash in temperatures. A band of light snow behind the front will also zip across the region from late this evening into tonight.

Some light accumulations are a safe bet across the entire region and that could create some slick travel into Thursday morning. Gusty winds may blow some of the snow around from time to time. Anywhere from a coating to 1″ looks good for all areas. Local amounts may come in between 1″ and 2″.

Track away…

It was almost in the mid 50’s a hour or two ago and now within a hour or two snow will be falling and temps crashing all night long with a possible flash freeze developing?

Andy Rose on February 4, 2015 at 7:58 pm

Its already in the mid 30s at my house

Please let Fayette County have a snow day!!

Am I the only one that finds it really sad that we are so snow deprived, that Chris has posted traffic cams to show us an inch or less of snow showers?

Sometimes CB has to dress hamburger as steak- In this case a Whitecastle 🙂

In Knoxville the roadways, including I-40 and I-75, have been pretreated with brine. This virtually guarantees no snow at all.

right as rain on February 4, 2015 at 9:51 pm
Haha

DRY AIR eating up

It’s already down to 30 degrees here in eastern Kentucky so it looks like we won’t have to worry about any rain at least.

Rachel on February 4, 2015 at 9:03 pm

Still 46 degrees in Lexington… I love how on the radar it’s all blue literally until the second it hits Kentucky and it changes to rain. Temps better start dropping soon! I need a snow day!

Kerry Nelson on February 4, 2015 at 9:10 pm

it looks like some energy from the south is trying to get envoled into the system. kind of .something to watch east of i-65.

Cranky on February 4, 2015 at 9:17 pm

Here in Kenton County the temp has fallen to 34 and I’m seeing the heaviest snow I’ve seen all winter. Here’s hoping those of you south of me get some fun and games out of this, too. Especially you teachers wishing like I am for a snow day.

TO WARM CB its 36 degrees in Louisville. this is a bust, be no coating for 90 percent of area.

Andy Rose on February 4, 2015 at 10:13 pm
32 at my place

  30 at mine, dew point at 25, 82% humidity. Temps have dropped like a rock since about 4pm.
  - Andy Rose on February 4, 2015 at 10:27 pm
    Same here had about an 11 degree difference between my place and the worshipped mesonet site
prelude on February 4, 2015 at 10:22 pm
It’s 35 degrees at Louisville Airport its inaccurate nobody lives at the airport. One mile in either direction of the airport temps are at freezing.

  Stick with the real weathercasters.
- BubbaG on February 4, 2015 at 11:45 pm
  Of course it is higher than everywhere else. How else to pad the data to support the ManBearPig 😉
  Who wants to bet those warmer than other data points are heavily weighted in the “supporting” data?
  I am only partially joking.
  On a more on point note, I still find calling weather “wintry” ironic. That is how weak the weather is when wintry is a term used in the winter.
  Would expect that term in the fall or spring 🙂

A coating is a bust? You need help

  Rolo has not had many chance to Rolocoaster this winter, so let him ride 🙂

Todd on February 4, 2015 at 11:37 pm

Snowing in Frankfort, temp 31
Another salt layer for sure by morning

BubbaG on February 4, 2015 at 11:56 pm
Slugs are soooooo $crewed this year 😉

Maybe “all areas” except Somerset. 🙁
