Good Tuesday, folks. Another winter weather maker is rolling toward Kentucky and will bring rain to a mix then snow later Wednesday. This starts a pattern of fast-moving winter weather makers through the weekend and into next week. Each system has the potential to produce snow and ushering arctic cold shots.

Temps today warm into the 40s on a gusty southwesterly wind as clouds thicken. These clouds are ahead of a cold front moving in for Wednesday. Rain develops ahead of this system, but a quick temperature drop behind the front means a period of mixed precipitation and snow. The models continue to disagree on exactly how the cold and the precipitation interact, but odds favor the eastern half of the state for the best potential for snow with this.

The European Model continues to show this well…

The GFS is similar…

The extreme models are the NAM and new version of the GFS. One has basically nothing, while the other continues to be on steroids…

NAM

New GFS

I’ll get you a risk map and first call out later today. Regardless of exact snow amounts, a quick drop in temps means icy roads will develop from Wednesday evening into early Thursday.

Another band of light snow or snow showers will arrive Thursday night along a weak arctic boundary. Another weak system may bring some light snow or flurries later Friday with another possible this weekend. The Canadian likes this one best…

The GFS and European Models are have that as more of a light snow event, with a bigger system following by later Monday and Tuesday…

That’s a lot of action over the next week and any one of those systems could amplify into something much deeper, but may not show up that way until a few days before.

Updates come your way later today. Make it a good one and take care.
