In terms of what the models are showing, snow lovers need to grab the pom poms and cheer on the Hi Res NAM…
The NAM isn’t too dissimilar…
The GFS continues to trend colder with more wintry precipitation…
Here’s the freezing rain signal…
The Canadian Model…
The EURO continues to be the off model…
If we look ahead toward Christmas, the signal for a bigger system and cold continues to show up as a deep trough dives in here…

The surface maps will catch up, but moth models show some snow preceding the cold…

There is room for a much bigger system during this time.
I will have the latest on WKYT starting at 4 and going through the evening. I will also have another KWC update, so check back. Until then, here are your radars to follow the increase in precipitation to our southwest…
Have a good one and take care.
The setup is usual as it has been for the last two winter 64 andnorth th of it is the sweet spot. Oh well maybe next time!
Seems like next time never comes.
Schroeder I’m looking at the rader and it’s 4:45 central time and notice the snow is south of us headed to western ky were I live just maybe we may get something out of this small system.
Yeah, Chris pointed that very same scenario on the 6:00 weather tonight.
Thanks Chris, on the water vapor loop you can detect where the surface low pressure is moving out of Oklahoma where they had several inches of snow.
There is a trough running form Hudson Bay southwest through the central part of the country. Kind of an odd set up, but it was enough negative energy to phase with the surface low to make a snowstorm for that area.
At the same time Polar air is moving into the Northeast and the surface low coming through south Kentucky will phase with the Polar air just to our east and will explode into a classic Nor’Easter.
It will be interesting to follow the next few days.
Thanks Chris, looks pretty sad on the snow accumulations for my county of Taylor.
I’m going to focus on the Nor’Easter. A very interesting set up about to unfold.
Real time temperatures are trending 5 degrees or more colder then models– have you notices ??
