Good evening, everyone. Another historic winter storm has wrapped up across the bluegrass state, leaving behind 1-2 feet of snow for many. The drifts out there are just insane! Judging by some of your comments and tweets, a select few who downplayed this storm are also downplaying the impact and snow totals. To that I say… LOL. 🙂

Now comes a bitterly cold night on top of this snowpack. Single digits are already showing up as of this writing. If the skies are clear where you live, you’re thermometer will hit zero or below. The GFS shows where it thinks that happens…

Yowza!

Highs will recover into the upper 20s and low 30s under partly sunny skies.

A cold front works our way by Monday night and Tuesday. This is not a very strong front, so it doesn’t have a big push of warm air advection ahead of it. The snowpack is going to impact temperatures, and now the models are catching up to that. Here’s the NAM for Monday afternoon…

That cold front will have a band of rain and snow showers with it as it sweeps eastward into Tuesday. Colder air comes in behind the front, and some models try to pop a wave of low pressure along this front by Tuesday night…

That’s from the Canadian Model, which also pops a MUCH stronger east coast storm right behind that by Thursday…

The upper levels look favorable for another system to develop somewhere across the eastern part of the country. If it develops, does it impact our weather? That’s something to really watch for as we roll forward. Either way… temps for the middle and end of next week are seasonally cold.

I will have a full update tonight. Until then, stay warm and take care.
