Good evening, gang. We continue to see scattered showers of rain, sleet and snow across parts of central and eastern Kentucky. As temps drop this evening into the wee hours of the morning, a rooftop coating is possible in a few areas.
Your radars to track the action…
Better weather carries us into the weekend before another system impacts our weather by Monday. That’s likely to be a slow-moving system that winds up bigger than currently projected across the eastern part of the country. Right now, it’s a cold rain with an outside shot at a mix or some flakes. Something to watch for.
Something else to watch for is the transition of the pattern as December wears on. The upper ridge across the northern part of the country is forecast to slowly get pushed northward into Canada. That allows for lower heights (more troughs) to undercut that ridge. The GFS Ensembles show this slow transition over the next few weeks…
The European Ensembles show a similar progression, but push that ridge much farther to the northeast toward Greenland…
I guess we will all see how this pans out overt the next few weeks. Regardless, I do think this is exactly what happens and is the reason I went with more of a back loaded winter.
Enjoy the evening and take care.
Tell me if we havent seen or heard this before and as the flurries and snow showers fall apart as they move into Kentucky…..
Oh well was hoping to see a snowflake or two but judging by radar doesn’t look to promising.
I was hoping to see some festive flakes as well. BG hasn`t seen any snow since march.
