Good evening, folks. It continues to look like a very wintry weekend across the bluegrass state as a clipper dives in from the northwest. This will bring a light accumulation of snow to our region, to go along with gusty winds and tanking temps.

Now that we are under 48 hours until the clipper arrives, the models are seeing this system a little better. Shocking, right? Check the how the upper levels show have a more potent look…

Here’s the European Model…

The simulated radar from the Hi-Res NAM is still a little underdone, but you can see the plume coming in from Lake Michigan…

The late afternoon GFS is also looking better with the clipper…

On a quick side note, look how close the southeast snowstorm gets to southeastern Kentucky tomorrow.

The models are still LIKELY underplaying the northwesterly flow, so let’s watch that trend into Friday.

It’s good to see the models now looking like my light snowfall odds map…

Winds are going to be a HUGE player Saturday afternoon and evening. Gusts can hit 30mph or greater…

That’s going to create a full blown flizzard at times. 🙂 It’s also going to take our wind chills way, way down. Wind chill numbers of 10-15 will show up Saturday evening…

Those numbers may hit the single digits by Sunday morning.

Beyond this weekend, arctic shots and clippers dive in with snow chances beginning as early as Monday night. You can see the additional cold blast showing up…

I will have your usual update later tonight and may throw out a first call map on WKYT at 11.

Enjoy the evening and take care.
