Good afternoon, folks. Several inches of snow fell overnight and early this morning into parts of northern Kentucky and now comes one last round of light stuff. This may cause some slick spots to develop on area roads later tonight and early Monday.

From there, it’s a pattern locked and loaded for an extreme looking setup for much of the country, including another big storm next weekend. I’ll get that in a bit.

Let’s start with what’s happening out there for the rest of our Sunday. One more weak disturbance crosses the state from west to east. Temps will be dropping with this as light snow and some freezing drizzle shows up…

This isn’t  much in terms of snow, but it may combine with freezing drizzle to slicken up many roads, especially tonight when temps hit the 20s.

Seasonally cold temps are with us over the next few days, then a quick hitting system zips across the state by Thursday. That looks like a mainly rain maker, but it may be close…

Our weekend storm system continues to look like a monster system, capable of producing all modes of precipitation across the bluegrass state. The European Model from WeatherBell continues to look like February 2003 storm that hammered Kentucky…

Here’s hoping the European is wrong on all fronts because it’s cranking out a ton of precipitation…

Freezing Rain

Snow

That’s a lot of arctic air coming in with this storm system. For areas having snow and ice on the ground, the numbers may tank. The European temps…

The GFS is more progressive with this system and spits out less precipitation…

That would be basically rain to snow with bitter cold coming in. The GFS suggests temps go from the 50s to near zero in roughly 24 hours…

Another system tries to follow that up a few days later…

Rounds of arctic air keep diving into the country as our southern stream remains active…

This pattern is how legends are made.

I will have another update this evening, so check back. Make it a good one and take care.
