Good Monday, everyone. Our southern system is delivering a glancing blow of light snow to southeastern Kentucky today as we get ready to kick off a full blown winter pattern. That starts later this week and kicks into high gear this weekend through next week.

Most of the state won’t see snow today, but light accumulations may show up in the far southeast along the Virginia border counties. I suppose this may clip a few of the nearby counties that border Tennessee, but it all looks pretty light. Can a local 1″ amount show up down that way? Yep, but most come in under that

Here are your radars to follow along…

Tuesday and Wednesday look pretty good and this will go a long way for those of us actually longing for some sunshine. The sun has certainly been in short supply in recent days, so we will take what we can get.

A potent cold front drops in here late Thursday into Friday and unleashes much colder air and likely periods of light snow into the coming weekend.

Here’s the Canadian…

The GFS at the same time…

You can see this winter pattern getting established very well on the GFS Ensembles. Check out the 7 day 500mb height anomaly starting this Friday…

I ended up having to work last night, so that’s all you crazy kids get for now. I will have updates later today, so check back. Have a good one and take care.
