Good evening, all. We’re rolling into the weekend and watching a potent storm system rolling toward Kentucky. This system is going to bring about some huge changes over the next few days as winter starts to flex some serious muscle.
The real change starts Saturday night in the west and rolls eastward into Sunday morning. That’s when gusty winds and crashing temps change the rain to snow. Watch the progression on the GFS…
Temps drop into the 20s from west to east and that may create some icy spots on area roads. Light accumulations of snow could also add to that. Winds will be very gusty and make it feel like it’s in the teens most of the day.
The arctic front coming in on Tuesday continues to look like a healthy one…
Snow accumulations are looking more and more likely with that system as arctic air blows in behind it. The GFS by Wednesday Morning…
Wind chill values at the same time…
Another big push of arctic air dives into the country by next Friday and Saturday, and could combine with an active southern jet stream to produce a storm system…
Temp departures coming in behind that on the European Ensembles…
That’s one cold looking United States of America! That’s what happens when you get massive blocking showing up well to our north…
By the way… that above map is for week three of January! This pattern is locking in.
Enjoy the evening and take care.
Thanks for the update Chris
First call for snowfall, please.
I don’t believe there is a need for a first call for snowfall for sunday…looks like a very light dusting to me.
Maybe Tuesday evening we can get a couple of inches (fingers crossed).
Go Bengals!!!!
Thanks Chris!!!! Are we going to get enough SNOW Sunday to put out a snowfall?
Thanks for the update Chris. It’s about to get interesting, it sounds like. Sunday could indeed be deceiving with quick temp drops that turn wet roads to ice. Happens very fast. Going to get out and do my running early tomorrow before it all gets started! Have a great Friday evening all. Thanks again Chris. Looking forward to the next update.
This is about to get REAL folks real fast! This snow lover is drooling!
I can taste the flakes coming next week! ❄️❄️❄️ This snow lover is hoping for accumulating flakes next week!
Models may be drifting east this evening. That’s good for snow fans. Nothing major but 1-2″ is better than nothing in this very warm winter. Rodger in Dodger
