Good evening, gang. The forecast continues to play out as expected with a blast of winter weather rolling our way for the upcoming weekend. This isn’t a huge deal in terms of snow, but the first flakes of the season always gets our attention.
Temps ahead of the front on Saturday will hit the low 50s as clouds quickly increase. Winds will be gusty as temps crash once the front sweeps through. A 20 degree drop in just a few hours is a good bet. Much of the precipitation falls in the colder air behind the front. That means a period of rain and snow showers will be likely…
That’s a pretty decent burst of snow showing up on the GFS early Saturday evening. Leftover flakes will carry us into Sunday morning in eastern Kentucky.
That’s a big snowstorm for areas to our north…
Notice how the GFS suggests some accumulation across Kentucky. I’m not seeing that at the moment, but I can’t rule out a rooftop coating if it snows hard enough.
Wind chills hit the low and mid teens Saturday night and Sunday morning. Brr!
The long range call for Thanksgiving week is for another storm system to impact our weather. This looks to be during the busy holiday weekend and you’re now seeing the models going back to what they were showing up until a few days ago. Rain and snow are on the early Thanksgiving weekend weather menu.
I will have a full update later tonight. Take care.
