Good afternoon, folks. Our wimpy winter weather maker continues to have very little impact on the weather across the state. The second phase of this system brings some light rain and a touch of light snow to some later tonight, with most not seeing much at all.
I will get to your tracking tools in a bit.
Once this system zips through, things look much better by Thursday afternoon with temps deep into the 40s. The next system continues to look disjointed with one low off the east coast and a system diving in from the northwest. That can bring a little ugly for Saturday…
Springtime temps surge behind that and wind up more than 20 degrees above normal by Monday and Tuesday…
As cold air presses in behind that, the spring temps look to put up a big fight and that could lead to a fairly wet pattern for the middle and end of next week…
I will have the latest on WKYT-TV starting at 4pm and on KWC this evening. I have you all set to track this pathetic taste of winter…

Have a good one and take care.
CB, have we broke the record for least days in a row snow on ground? Any day now.
If this low pressure had of phased over the state of Arkansas with a very negative upper level system from the northwest with Arctic air behind it we would been talking about a major snowstorm over the whole state instead of a dying surface low.
If pigs had wings…or if the Bengals were good…
Nothing has changed. You do have to give it up for the models a week out showing rain. We all know they are correct!!!!
No measurable snow chances in the foreseeable future. Like it or not it looks like we might get halfway into February with mostly above average day time temps. Might get a surprise storm but any length of cold and multiple snow chances are diminishing due to just winter coming to an end. Spring time is a coming and that is fine with me. Tired of our “wimpy non-winter”.
I tried to tell you 3 yrs ago people, but was ridiculed as a troll haha…. get used to these winters…. also stated 3 yrs ago
Something had changed. Whether or not it stays is another thing. I have grown kids that have seen one snow in the 6-8 inch range and a few 2-3 inch events. Sleds that have sit many of a year without being used. I’m all in for spring though.
I blame you for another lousy winter, lol, for the trends, too much green on the screen and the yawn meter! 😛
I – 95 is full of snow birds coming home to roost from Florida already.
Nothing left to be said about this season formerly known as Winter, that hasn’t already been said. Hope to see everyone back next November when we begin hope anew.
See you this fall Jimbo. The oscillations look to be “faking” again and now looks less likely for some cold even beyond next week. Hopefully, this want be my third February with a foot of rain and 0 snow but it could if the SER gets involved like it is trying to start up again next week. My little renewal of hope was short lived and about dead, so..

We feel your pain Chris. Wimpy certainly describes this winter.
Rip winter.
Where did the talk of arctic air go? Hahaha
If we can’t get something going out of the big system coming in a few days, I’m going to throw in my towel on this winter season. Chris is right! It’s been pretty wimpy at it’s best!
The oscillations started to hint towards a better pattern in February but are “faking” again and quickly changing right back towards a Rain Train pattern. Could this possibly be another and exceptionally rare, third February with a foot of rain and zero snow in Harlan? Sounds absurd but two years in row is pretty insane for records and a pattern like next week could swamp us again if it where to get fully established for the long haul. I am done and….#PalmTreeWinter!
I’m thinking this rain train weather deal is becoming the new norm, unfortunately! Do you think we will get any flooding like last winter?
Right now areawide, we are not going into February nearly quite as wet as we did last year after 2018, so hopefully no real flooding anytime soon as it should take more rain to cause problems this year. Still, the ground doesn’t absorb much water in winter, and we certainly aren’t dry, so we could have issues again if we where to get several inches in a short period of time.
No. “Bird” is the word.
