Good Monday, everyone. As snow showers and squalls wind down, it’s time to focus more on the increasing potential for a weekend storm system to impact our region. This kicks off the much talked about second week of January and a significant round of winter weather arriving.
Once a late week system moves away, cold air dives into the region on Saturday. This happens as another low pressure develops near the Gulf and rides northeastward. The European Model has been fairly consistent in showing this and now the GFS has finally caught on…
That would bring a healthy swath of snow across much of the region.
The Canadian Model went from basically having no storm to one that’s pretty wrapped up and likely too far west. Look at the snow map from that model run…
Again, don’t take the placement of that to heart. It’s just an indication of the type of system showing up on the models.
As the models get a handle on the amount of arctic air coming into the country, I suspect we see that system wind up as an “apps runner”.
And the air coming in behind that storm is cold. GFS lows for early next week…
The arctic wave that follows that is also starting to show up on the GFS…
There’s a lot of winter on the way to much of the country in one of the great all-time pattern flips!
BTW.. you guys got a midday update from me. That should tell you something. 😉
See you later this evening. Take care.
CB is really bored he just gave a midday update. lol
Make that victuals and provisions run before the crazies get wind of the weekend. Milk and lunch meat madness!

Huntington WV mets must be looking at some other models. They have highs on Friday and Saturday in the 60 degree range with rain then 45 to 50 on Sunday and Monday. I know Chris said today’s snow wouldn’t be a big deal. But in my area I have only seen a few flurries.
Now the fun begins…

ooops…
the Dome
Lol..lol..wouldn’t be the blog without it now would it..lok
With neither a coating nor an inch in Monticello today me & Thelma Lou are gonna take the wait & see approach with the next one. It would appear that my bold prediction of 70’s & storms somewhere in KY in January could be in jeopardy.
UHHHH OHHHHH when ROLO is tweeting again u know business is picking up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The weather channel has change it’s tune for the winter outlook from now to march. All along they were saying it would be milder winter and now they flip flop the forcast there saying colder than normal in our part of world. Figure that out? all along CB has preaching since Sept that this winter could mirror in what we experience the last two or three winters.
Not sure what you’re watching, but what I just saw still has vast majority of KY in average to above average temp prediction range through March.
For Christmas I bought my group, SNOW turnout gear…they laughted at me cause it was so warm outside…we’ll see who gets the LAST laugh. #gosnow.
If we are getting a midday update, that means Chris is seeing the possibility of some snow in the foreseeable future!!!!
Fingers crossed!!!!!
Chris, when I saw the midday update I figured you were seeing something that interested you! Unfortunately, I was about to get into an MRI machine so I couldn’t read your update just then. Makes me wonder what will happen…..guess we will see. Thanks for the update, and looking forward to seeing you on the news and at the next one (update, that is)
Please send snow our way!!!
Please send snow our way!!! Big CB fans here in Webster County!
Uh oh..Chris said apps runner.lol
The GFS is back to its usual self. The 18z has a farther east, weaker storm. Inconsistency is the GFS’ motto.
I swear models should be thrown out the window until we are within 3 days of the storm lol
I agree, sometimes they can be terrible.
Weekend storm way way to far out for the GFS or any model to get any grasp on what will occur. At this very early stage of the game models are giving a warning shot that there is something to watch. Weekend storm is over 3000 miles away. Plenty of waffles yet to come. We also need phasing to occur with this weekend storm and we all know how difficult that is.
I have had my fill of waffles; however, we are going g to be getting lots more.
What is an “apps runner” and who is ROLO?? I’ve been reading this blog for 5 years and don’t think I’ve ever heard those references! Never commented before either!!
ROLO is a legend in these parts. Not sure how you could not know him having been around for 5 years.
Never really perused the comment section. I guess I will start. seems like a fun place to be!
