*****UPDATE*****
Good morning gang. I wanted to just drop by to share a few quick thoughts with you. So far… I have not seen much to change my mind on how this all plays out. Things appear to be on track up to this point. A few points…
1. This is some very heavy rain across the south.
2. The heavier the precip is this afternoon and evening… the greater the chance it has to go over to snow due to the cooling process.
3. The short range RUC Model is actually trying it’s best to bring a round of heavy early evening snows toward the bluegrass region.
4. Pinpointing where we see our heavy snow band setting up this evening will be our main challenge later today.
I see A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY is out for much of central and eastern Kentucky. Better than nothing I suppose. 
I will have a full update coming up around noon or a little after.
Until then… keep posting your weather for us. Take care.
Good Saturday everyone and thanks for blogging with us! This is going to be a fun day of tracking the winter storm that will be impacting the state into early Sunday. It’s a day that is sure to bring you several updates from me and will also feature numerous updated snowfall forecast maps as we get a better handle on how this thing is playing out. “Nowcasting” will be the name of the game today folks!
That being said… I did manage to put together a FIRST CALL FOR SNOWFALL map for you guys. I reserve the right to change this bad boy as many times as needed today. 
Here is a look at what I am thinking right now for snowfall through Saturday Night…
Those lines are nowhere being set in stone and the numbers can go up or down from what they are showing there. Anytime when you are dealing with a storm that is creating it’s own cold air (Dynamic Cooling)… you literally have to play it by ear hour by hour to see what the storm is capable of.
Rain will quickly overspread southern Kentucky through the early morning hours on this Saturday. As the precip starts… colder air will work down to the surface from above and temps will drop. One thing to watch for this morning will be just how quickly do some areas see the rain mix with or change to snow. If we are seeing any mixing or flakes before afternoon… that should be a good sign for those who want a good sized snow out of this later in the day into Saturday night. Here is the radar to track the progress of the precip from south to north…
Temps will be critical today as usual. Most areas should stay above freezing through the day then fall below the 32 degree mark by early evening. Here is your temp tracker from the Kentucky Mesonet…
Something else is catching my eye for later Sunday into Sunday night and that is the development of a secondary storm across the southeastern US. This storm has been progged by the models to form for several days now. What is getting my attention is the fact some of the models are now trying their best to come farther west with this stronger storm. Some are even now showing snow lingering through Monday morning across extreme southeastern Kentucky. Check out what I am talking about with the short range Canadian model…
Sunday Morning
Sunday Afternoon
As you can see… we have a huge closed low moving across the deep south with a deepening surface low tracking into the Carolinas. There is a 1049 High pumping in cold air form the north and northwest. That setup may bring flakes all the way into parts of Florida! Wow! One could also argue that same setup may try to inch a little farther west with time as well. That is something to track today as well. As if I needed something else to worry about!
Those last maps kind of remind me of a certain setup that brought a “dusting” around here back in 1998. Not saying that will happen though.
Updates through the day. Take care.
Select Page
Aye looks like its gonna be warm eh ?
thanks chris, i have to agree we won’t know will happen till it gets here.
Sweet allusion to the ’98 dusting! The Canadian has been the most consistent out the bunch with this thing and I for one hope it verifies. I think that is a good start for snowfall totals, although maybe we can get them a smidge higher by this time tomorrow!
WOW! Suprised me with those totals… But I like them! I guess your banking on some Dynamic Cooling..but as you said its a nowcast situation so I guess those totals could be way lower. The waiting game begins. Thanks for the update Chris
chris’s feeling about sunday shows up on some the 12z candian ensemble runs.
Thanks Chris! Now we wait…hopefully this will be a good snow to go out with winter and in with Spring!
Thanks Chris! I fine with those totals as long as the ice stays away.
Bring it on Baby!!!!
Just waiting for Rolo to get on here and say how wrong Chris is before Rolo goes flip-flopping on us and begins to tell us I told you so 100 times.
Thanks Chris, you do a fantastic job.
You just love pushing his buttons dont ya? lol
I wonder if, and when, the NWS will post WSW for southern and eastern KY?
Thanks Chris I can go to sleep…….
My guess is that they won’t unless the changeover happens faster than they think. However I do think they’ll issue a snow or winter weather advisory at some point tomorrow
Weather.com already have winterstrom watch for EAST KY.
The only winter weather related advisories is a winter weather advisory for part of the Paducah warning area.
type in 41858 and it have a watch.
No, what you have is a special weather statement. All of eastern Ky has one right now. There are no Winter Storm Watches issued for anyone other than western TN right now.
The Weather Guy on WYMT said 3-6 inches wouldnt that be a Winter Strom watch.
That’s what Rob is forecasting… the NWS is not forecasting that much therefore they are not issuing an advisory or watch just yet. They will most likely wait till the morning if they are going to issue one based on what happens in the next 12 hours.
CB- OUTSTANDING forecast! This is a very dynamic system and I would suggest could not be outlooked’ any better. TG has a similar solution- I am proud you are both KY boys 🙂
This system and the next have potential of being a Bubba buster. A trend west would actually be good news (if you like snow) for everyone. SE KY would still get a good snow and so would people more to the west (I guess that is obvious).
Regardless of what actually happens with this system- Major props to you, based on the data available!
I really hope this is the storm we’ve been waiting for in regards to snow–it definitely has the most potential we’ve seen in a while! And I like to see the snow, especially on a weekend!
*puts out the snow decorations*
Let’s go! 🙂
Hello fellow bloggers. Fickled is the word for our weather. I am at 36* here at almost 2am. I feel the cold air is underplayed a bit.
I have a whole lot to say on this system also in close agreement with CB. If ya wanna rake a look here ya go http://mjhdp.tripod.com/stormtracker/id17.html?x=78&y=17
Posted on TG’s too:
Just a little westerly shift and kaboom!- with a good snow for non-north KY 🙂
CB and TG have similar initial solutions for the event. Pretty good vector by two KY boys 🙂
A good visual cue:
If it starts snowing when it is light, it will be a snowy delight
If it starts snowing at night, the snow will be light
Not exactly iambic pentameter, but that is all you get from a Hillbubba 🙂
Cool site and link hub!
Thanks there BubbaG.
The latest run of the NAM says my forecast map is in good shape. It actually shows more snow than I am forecasting!!
You know… I REALLY hope Jackson gets a Watch/Warning out! TG and I tried and tried in private chat with them yesterday to get them to post a watch. Oh well.
Well, in the old Rolo style, here’s todays song:
The Mountains Win Again by Blues Traveler.
🙂
Wow Chris. I am just north of Hazard on 15N. Let’s hope Jackson gets that Watch/Warning out for sure. I’m ready and waiting for the snow. 🙂
The NWS…….well they have issues lol. I hope you’re right about the totals being higher. Off to bed, you should try sleeping some too CB, busy day likely tomorrow!
I’ll just be happy to see someone in the state get a foot of snow. Then we can break our record. Hehahahahhaahahahah.
Oh, yeah, I forgot one thing.
Here it is:
Hahahahahaahahahah!!
🙂
Okay, seriously,
There are some things the models will not show, and that is topographical elevation. The mountains of eastern Kentucky will undoubtedly do better in terms of snowfall than the rest of most of the state, simply due to their elevation.
If the storm pans out exactly right, I can foresee the extreme highest elevations in Eastern Kentucky (yes, I mean Black Mountain, etc) getting up to a foot of snowfall before it’s over.
And, hey, after that, at least some place in the state would get a foot, right?
Let’s cross our fingers. Still would be nice to hear of a foot of snow somewhere within THIS vicinity of the Ohio River.
😉
=Aaron=
Hmm…radar, to me anyway, has this storm more north and west of what the models have shown to this point. It will be a VERY interesting day, as Chris has pointed out. And when he says we have to watch this hour by hour, SOMEONE within the area will get a surprise snowfall!
Fun times ahead folks over the next 36 hours. Keep abreast!
Just one more note. It looks like the snow system out in Missouri and Iowa is just a tad bit too slow. It needs to speed up just a LITTLE bit and hopefully merge with the advancing system coming out of the southeast. If that happens, this storm may have some decent backlash snowfall on its western end.
This storm might end up being the same in regards to snowfall for some folks, but the overall setup is quite different.
For starters, we have a southern stream system that is moving northeast. That, number one, is different from the 1998 blizzard.
Second, we have a secondary wave of low pressure moving through that’s about 2 to 3 hours behind the main storm. This did not occur in the 1998 storm.
Take a look at some radar maps of the storm from 1998. The storm came in from the coast, moved north-northWESTward, and plastered central and Eastern Kentucky with well over a foot of snow. This storm has potential, but it won’t be what the 1998 storm was, because this storm does not have a subtrpopical influence to it. Yes, the storm that hit us in 1998 was somewhat subtropical, even in cold weather.
Hope I cleared that up.
wymt have a Winter weather Advisory on top of the screen.

well for my AREA mid 30s all day and thru most of the evening and nite, that not going to lay down 1-2 inches much less 3-6. the northern most areas of any precip see best shot at a couple inches tonite.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! ANOTHER DAY I WOKE UP BREATHING!!! GOTTA GO OUT TO STORE BEFORE THE CHECK DRAWERS RUN WILD ONCE AGAIN.
better hgope for a 2nd low tomm, cause this round IS DONE, OVER NADDA, ohh some rain for southern counties. but main moisture skirting by to south.
you must have been watching 18 when you passed out last night LOL even NWS has upped their totals so has accuweather TG and Chris both have 2-6 inches for our area rolo accuweather calling for 2 1/2 inches
You need to quit going to sleep with the 18 weather on
Like I have said many times I’m going to trust the actual meteroligist …it went from 50s to 30s… The other nite it had totally been warmer than this and I got about 2.5 just wat chris had forecasted!!
Gotta agree with ya Rolo. Heading towards Alexandria in about an hr so maybe I might miss the rain that everyone else in Central and South Eastern Ky is gonna get.
Rolo you think too that the Low is gonna skirt on off the coast ? Wouldn’t suprise me if it went on over to Bermuda.
I actually weent to sleep with CCR playin last nite AR.
ohh it can snow and lay at 35 degrees, if its HEAVY ENOUGH.
For sure, I am not a weather guy. Just seen alot of weather. One thing to preface all this upcoming weather with is the notion that these things are like balls rolling down a hill. It can, once it starts developing, take unexpected turns. I feel a big snow coming.
ok look at sat/radar loop, this baby missing us totally, the upper level low not going to affect us either.
even RAY CHARLES CAN SEE THAT.
tonite and tomm morning weather cast is a BUSATO.. now that just my look at it.
go look for urself.
just slow down the upper low dids, not going to meet up with it in time yto help KY out.
yea latest radar loops and sat loops says NOTHING.
unless the LOW CB talking bout tomm nite does something, i dont see a inch.
So i assume your saying Chris is wrong or living in La La land since your saying absolutely nothing and he is giving 3-6 ?
Chris’s map says through Sat nite not Sunday nite. You must think Chris is living in a dream world
Temps continuing to fall in Knox County
OK Rolo your prob right about the GFS in your previous post its dead on
http://wxcaster.com/gis-gfs-snow-overlays.php3?STATIONID=MRX
Radar looks a bit more promising than I thought it would… Moving at a more northeastern direction…
rolo says “tonite and tomm morning weather cast is a BUSATO”
Chris says “1 to 6 inches” depending on where you live.
Temp. is droping here in Morehead its now at 31.7 at my house. It was almost 33 when I got up this morning.
The map is showing a mix a precipatation in northern Clay but nothing falling to the ground. Must be verga. I had a dream last night that my area got six inches of snow and everytime I would wake up and go back to sleep, I would have the same dream. I guess I’ll just have to wait in see if dreams come true. By the way, UK beating LSU wasn’t in my dreams, but LSU beating UK wasn’t in my nightmares either. I believe UK will win though because Patterson was getting very irritated in the second half the other night. He will be tough to guard today.
Well temp is at 36 here at the ranch this morning. It was in the 40s when I went to bed.
Didn’t get to read the update till this morning, and I am surprised. I really was not expecting to see the possibillity still out there. hope it happens, but not going to get excited until it does.
Chris, looks lke you are going to have a very busy day today! Hope you keep bringing us good news regarding the storm for us snowlovers.
As BubbaG said, kudoes to you and TG.
well by the way it sounds its gonna be a day of, look out your window and see what its doing day…could snow in one area rain in the next, mix here sleet there…so If your backyard gets those kinda totals…then feel like you’ve won the sweepstakes!!!
Rain here been moderate off and on this morning…
37*….down from 40* from earlier
Well, the forecast CB posted was good, based on the data at the time, but looks like my 1″ to 4″ call with the main spread east and SE is how it will play out now.
Likely no Bubba buster. Not a surprise, but a little disappointing 🙁
The Sunday / Monday system will also probably be more of an east hugger’ too.
I would say “at least we have the Cats today” but I expect a similar play out to our weather.
Bring on Spring!!
If you ask me the GFS and the NAM are both a bust right now. They both say it should NOT be raining here in pulaski co, but let me promise you it is!! 35 and raining in Northern Pulaski Co.
Chris-postometer also a concern, since this is a long gap between updates for an impending event.
When does football start?
Joe, that is an interesting thought… Maybe the short term models will figure it out pretty soon…
On radar looks like casey co, Lincoln co, and Garrard co, should be seeing some type of mix precip…
Joe T. says rain in pulaski at 35*…still raining here to, and HARD…man if all of this would have been snow….we would be talking Yard stick measurements…lol..lol..
IT is ABSOLUTELY POURING THE RAIN!! HERE….
I still wonder why NWS is only saying 1-3″…when Chris and T.G. are holding firm with their 3-6″ zone….well SOMEONE is gonna bust!!!..
and it may be me, if we turn this heavy rain over to heavy wet snow…I’LL probably bust like a balloon…LOL…
It has to mean 1 of two things…..A western shift in the track, or a stronger storm than the models suggested. In the latter more cold air should be pulled into the storm. Notice how the radar is quickly bringing the rain/mix line south?
It is not just an issue of temperature, but the actual track of the system. he system is going more south and then east of KY. Almost like we are a wall with most of the precipitation.
It could be 25 degrees an not make much difference if the actual system is with it. We appear to be on the fringe (aka fence).
Even the 1″ to 4″ I expect will be tighter and more focused to the east and SE in KY.
I think this has something to do with being very busy, not because of the forecast. He has been posting at longer intervals between. To me, no news is good news, lol.
well the pecip sure has blown up in south ky, steady light rain here in gunxhester.
latest MODELS say ATLANTA going to get smack as well.
Funny! Sad thing is there may be some truth to it for snow fans.
Not long to find out.
i disagree with mitch. mitch says 1-3 for pike co! everyone else is saying 3-6. i’ll tell ya, if anyone gets the most snowfall, it’ll be the mountains.
ANDY and gang anything possible i guess,
the precip starting to inhance look at it, that upper level low may indeed pop things up here, but will we get any cooling to take place to change it over.
yea bUBBA, THE LEGEND has to actually sleep AND see his kid and wife. I mean geesh man give him a break.
the guy works his but off, and as far as a updayte goes he getting all the latest runs digested, he be around later.
JoeT, we have rain here in south central Pulaski, too. Temp now says 35 so it is dropping. rRadar shows rain over us and mixed precip a little bit north of both of us.
Where are you located in Northern Pulaski? I am above but close to Burnside, near the lake.
Tim, our local forecast says a total to 2-4 for us with a WWA issued to go into effect at 1pm. But they do say that the track could make those totals higher. I did not see a mention of lower totals in what I read. So, as you said, looks like a ‘look out your window and see what it is doing’ kind of day.
BubbaG, lets hope the CATS at least come out ready to play today. They should, after getting so embarassed the other night. OF couurse, Darrin Horn is a good coach, too. Lets be fair. But we still should have won that game, or at least made a game out of it.
Tim, don’t bust. We would miss your comments! 😉
The moderation eraser has struck!
I’m still wondering why Chris and TG are the only ones saying 3-6 but on the 11 O’clock news last night TG had moved his 3-6 line further east and had it running through the center of Laurel county. The most I have seen anyone giving besides Chris and TG are 4″. BUT I would LOVE to see 8″, 10″, 12″, shoot lets go out with a bang and have a 2 footer! Now that would be nice!
I guess we shall see at the end of this round, it’s going to be interesting with so many forecasters giving such different amounts for Laurel County, everything from 1.7″ to 6″.
3 more degrees and it will send forecasters scrambling to keep up!!
Coffeelady, I’ve noticed something about being in moderation…if I skip lines after about 200 characters, and start again, I am not put in moderation. If you get a chance, try and let me know if it works for you as well.
its coming we have had heavy to moderate rain for hearly 3 hrs in Knox County that is if Rolo didn’t jinx you guys
Just joking in regards to past correlations with big events that begin to erode. There is a correlation, which makes sense, since big weather is news worth updating (inherently so).
Nothing positive or negative in regards to CB. I tell you what, I will ask the Cats to give you the game ball today… wait a minute, that might not work out that way…..
Actually, we do not need to wait on posts, since CB is obviously busy with his main job with TV.
Has CB or TG updated this morning? I keep hearing they are “holding firm” but that was last night and weather forecasts tend to not be etched in stone. Even CB stated it was a first call last night and subject to go up or down.
http://wxcaster4.com/gfs/CONUS_GFS0P5_SFC_ACCUM-SNOW_48HR.gif
I agree, but the point is the event is today, so the event is at least not upgrading, or we would have seen an update.
What is CB or TG saying on TV this morning? The blog is of course not their main priority, but a labor of love.
good thing we not going to WSAZ blog he hasn’t updated that since 6 pm yesterday. I see no reason for updates if nothing has changed personally
TG working this morning, just watch him and he still giving it bubba.
Nice map, but perhaps an outlier. Not long to find out 🙂
Wow- if it holds, channel 18 will be in the doghouse, since they are calling for just small accumulations today and tonight- mainly a mix and little snow at the end.
So, we can at least deduce that there has not been an upgrade 😉
look at the precip this spits out over the next 24 hrs….. http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod/analysis/namer/hiresw/06/images/hiresw_p24_024m.gif
A little bit of sleet falling here now.
Does anyone know how much Powell Co. is expecting?
A very cold rain falling here in East Bernstadt this morning. Temp sitting at 36* Under a Winter Weather Advisory, but NWS does mention the possibility of having to upgrade to a Warning at some point.
Here is the forecast that NWS is giving for this area right now:
Today: Rain and snow before 11am, then rain, snow, and sleet. High near 37. Northeast wind around 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow and sleet accumulation of less than one inch possible.
Tonight: Rain, snow, freezing rain, and sleet, becoming all snow after 10pm. Low around 26. Northeast wind around 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New ice accumulation of less than a 0.1 of an inch possible. New snow and sleet accumulation of 2 to 4 inches possible.
FUNNY THING BUBBA IS THAT 18 IS THE ONLY TV STATION WITH A WINTER WX ADVISORY ON THE SCREEN
35F with Moderate Rain as of now.
Still hoping for a overacheiver.
UofK favored by 4 against Louisiana St. as of 10am.
GO ROCKY TOP
I really hope we get several inches of snow. My smaller two kids have never had the excitment of playing in a deep snow. They would just love it. I guess I will keep my fingers crossed.
******UPDATE*********
CHRIS HAS AN UPDATE AT TOP OF PAGE
LOOKS like all the heavy rain that I’m getting right now, and it is heavy…is moving north…looks like someone to the north in northern or central ky. may get some heavy snow or sleet….
and Chris did mention maybe heavy snow in the bluegrass later…well check out the radar returns in the bowling green and nashville area and that is headed north and east into the bluegrass region…So Going by the temp. profile right now looks like the bluegrass region may end up getting the heavy snows, while we get our usual slop down here…lol..but time will tell.
Thanks Chris keep up the good work.43 in Pikeville nothing going on right now.I hope my temps start to drop soon.The radar is showing pink over me but nothing going on.
Thoughts Rolo for my area??????
i’m boycotting twc.
Good idea lol!!!!!!! Whats your temp this morning?
my computer says 37*. nothing falling right now.
all of those who want to boycott twc please reply.
Sorry, can’t boycott TWC. I have to get my Cantore fix somehow. 😉
a blend of gfs and ruc is looking like the way to go this would mean accumlating snow as far west as 1-71 new nam not that far different now either. i still agree with chris that this will be a forecast as we go event.
anyone know why Colorado Tommy hasn’t update blog in like a month???
Good one Chas I forgot about him!!!
WOW…new gfs is trying to pull precip from the main storm back into east tn. and extreme southe east ky………
I know one thing sure looks like ATLANTA IS GONNA GET HAMMERED!!!
OH BROTHER!!! HERE WE GO ON THE CANTORE FIXATION !!!…LOL…LOL…:)
Chas you know now your gonna get shawna, and chelle started…LOL…:P
He is nice eye candy!!!!!
Good Morning Tim,
I am just rolling out of bed after a VERY long weekend at work and this has me wondering. I have a 5pm wedding at of all places today, Cumberland Falls. Coming from the Bell/Harlan line, will I be in trouble with the weather???
Radar showing mixed precip for my area but nothing hitting the ground. I’ve been out all morning. Just very windy.
Jim can come to Pineville to report. I am sure we can find some weather here. 🙂
well look at ur sat/radar loop
the upper low is so close, it going to catch up right and then DEEPIN, and the wraparound, throwback might devlop BIG TIME.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,,,,
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…
THE FAT LADY OR MAN, OR IN THIS CASE HASNT SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNGGGG.
LOOK TO ME LIKE IT GOING TO CATCH UP AND U SEE A iINHANCMENT BIG TIME, er at exactly well we will see.
I may be wrong, but that what I think im seeing.
MAN just little more shifting,,,mmmmmmmmmm
What are you saying Rolo???????
*TEMP DROPPING*
From 10:30 to 11:15, the temp. dropped from 32.9 to 32.0 at my house in Lawrenceburg. It is interesting watching the temp. drop on these northeast winds. Obviously, anything that falls in the Frankfort area now will be frozen.
Here Chas http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKeFMWBvlGE
Raining just north of Hazard. Cold rain.
Rolo… I like your thinking and I think you are right… This looks like a very capable winter storm, able to put down 3-6 across much of central and eastern Ky… both Northeastern and Southeastern… Not so much Northcentral ky though…
WXman…still 32.9 here in Versailes. It’s coming from that direction so I’ll be watching for that temp drop.
Looks like 18 may be correct. This looks like a more southerly and easterly event. The KY border appears to be wall- not a fence.
Sad an event on top of us STILL can not be pegged. KY weather is MESSED up.!
Cold rain, 39 in Southern Pike County.
he is saying he is changing his mind again Crystal lol
your so bad
i’m telling Lorrie
If you need us Marilee call us we will get ya home
It’s hovering around 33 degrees here, and really dark overcast, but no precip. since temps are where they are, I would imagine by the time precip starts it should be some sort of the frozen variety? Still don’t know what to expect..i don’t trust the NWS forecast right now 🙂
i think he pulled it
Just thought I’d throw out something that should make all of you smile. My daughters 7th birthday is coming up & I had promised her something 2 months ago when i seen it……well we made plans to go to lexington (where my mom lives) & take my daughter out for her birthday. well, i have 3 beautiful kids, 2 girls & a boy…Anyway, my husband & son went to toysrus, while my mom, kids & I went to see….none other then the new jonas brothers 3d imaz movie. LOL!!!!! I promised her when we seen it advertised that I would take her to see it, being it was so close to her birthday. I have never heard so many screaming girls in my life (including my own)lol. It was hilarious. I loved every minute of it though. The tickets were quite expensive, $15/ticket, but seeing my girls so happy & dancing & screaming was well worth it. That was the best time we’ve had in a long time. It was packed & everytime the joebro’s (thats what my daughter calls them) kicked or flipped or there was a close up, the theatre went wild! That was my first ever 3d/imax movie & it was incredible. he glass & birds flying through the air was undescribeable. I’m still laughing today. It brought tears to my eyes knowing & seeing how much fun the girls had. I know thats one early birthday present shell never forget. Has anybody had the joe bro’s experience yet???
Richmond is already skirting the 32 degree range, so we would get snow if the precip came.
What is with the wind coming from the east? Very unusual. It is coming from the east- and north east.
The dusting of 98 did a similar thing, but I think the precipitation road with it. Not seeing any precip right now, but the track of the main stuff does look to our south anyways.
Yep, already cold enough in Richmond too, but will the precipitation come, or will this strong wind coming from the north and north east push the precip further south? If it were just coming from the east, that would be interesting but the overall direction is south.
Nothing falling in Richmond yet.
Now THAT would be ironic, yet fit perfectly with our trends- Low precip to the north, but cold enough to snow, high precip to the south but too warm to snow. Sick.
actually the temp has started going up here. 33.9 now. go figure!
it appears freaksters is back up
got plenty plenty of precip here Bubba

Does this mean, we will not get the 3-6 inches of snow?
Odd- not a drop hitting the ground here in North Richmond, but strong wind from the east / NE.
Boy that is mighty nice of you Andy! 🙂 Do you think we can make it there and back before it gets bad?
How do u get into freaksters????
ANDY i take it u can read the models, or u understand my comments, buddy im just thinking out loud as we go from RUN to RUN.
Not me, who do you think put me up to it? Did she forget to tell you that she has to go out later??? lol 🙂
Temperature is raising in Laurel County at 11:30 it was 36.6 and now at 12:15 it is 37.4 and a cold rain.
WXMAN- Here in Woodford Co the car temp said 33 before I came inside. Also radar shows precip but nothing falling here.
WXMAN- I would like to know your call on the snow/rain? I like to read your comments about it all because you are right most of the time. I guess since you live close to Woodford Co you can nail a lot of forecast’s. I don’t know what it is but you have a knack for it. Thanks in advance.
Just made it back from London. I got absolutely SOAKED putting my groceries in my car. If this rain turns to snow, we’ll get a pounding. Don’t forget your umbrellas…or ponchos for that matter. The wind was blowing too so an umbrella didn’t do much.
It feels like it’s going to get cold enough for a wet snow to me, because it’s definitely not getting any warmer out there….we’ll see!
disappointed….hope your dreams come true!!!!!! 🙂
WHAT ABOUT EASTERN KENTUCKY?????
been pouring since bout 6:30am
Thanks Chris. We currently have 36 degrees and very heavy rains here in Somerset. Looks like from the radar that there is a pretty good mix going on in the northern part of the county.
We went to the store earlaer and there was some sleet mixing in with the rain as we were going.
Temps are hovering between 34-36 here and going kind of up and down. From yesterday morning to now, we have had well over an inch of rain. (More than half of it was from yesterday mornings storms, but we have had heavy rains this morning, too.)
Chirs, I really hope this keeps playing out as you are seeing. IF it doesn’t, I have a daughter who is going to be VERY upset with me, as I talked her out of going to Lexington to look at stuff for her wedding. Better safe than sorry, is what I told her. 😉

no don’t know how to read models i just know you change your mind quite often and get a laugh from you every now and again especially when you seem like your drunk like earlier
Looks like someone needs to used my named to asked question or maybe there another Marsha….. Lord I hope not.LOL
Me too! 🙂 I was at London about 30 minutes ago and it was pouring the rain. Maybe I’ll go back to sleep and do some more dreaming.

The moderation police are working,lol, hope this goes thru.
