Good afternoon, gang. Some clouds are hanging tough across central and eastern Kentucky and that is slowing down our better weather talk. Hang in there, it does get better later today and into Saturday.

Talk about a frigid morning, we had it out there today. Many areas hit the single digits again with a bare ground…

It should be noted the absolute coldest model forecasts I saw for this morning only had upper teens.

For the rest of the day, skies will SLOWLY clear up a bit. Temps are going to be held in check and several degrees colder than I thought across central and eastern Kentucky. Some areas will struggle to get above freezing.

The model numbers for Saturday are coming in a little colder…

GFS Temps

That’s still much better than we’ve had.

Another system dives in on Sunday with gusty winds and a shower or two. Temps will spike ahead of this and then crash behind it…

NAM 2

That could lead to a few snowflakes with temps in the low and middle 30s.

Another bounce back is likely by late Tuesday and Wednesday, but arctic air looks likely by the second half of the week. Check out the blast arriving on Thursday…

Can we get some snow to go along with that blast? I guess we shall see, but it’s one in a series of arctic air masses diving into the eastern part of the country in the coming weeks. Btw… the shot above would deliver more single digit lows to the bluegrass state. Just what we need… frigid temps and a bare ground. 😉

Make it a great rest of your day and take care.
