Good afternoon, folks. Our snowy weekend continues across much of the bluegrass state as another upper level low sweeps eastward across the region. This will cause snow showers and squalls to increase through tonight, putting down additional light accumulations. Behind this comes several west-east moving systems for the upcoming week.
Several areas have picked up more than 2″ of snow so far on the weekend and another inch or two will show up by Monday morning. The whole wet to white to wet to white thing we talked about has played out like a charm and continues through the afternoon.
The snow showers and squalls will be more oriented from west to east with the current system moving through. Some of these will cause visibilities to drop to near zero and coat roads for a time through tonight. Here are your radars to follow along…
With overnight temps hitting the 20s, slick travel develops on untreated roads, especially.
Leftover snow showers and flurries hang tough into Monday, making for a 4th straight day of snow in our region. Guess what? We make it 5 in a row on Tuesday.
That’s when another fast-moving system works from west to east into the state, bringing a swath of light accumulating snow with it. This is a pattern that will feature a couple other systems rolling from west to east in the Tennessee Valley through the start of the weekend….

The operational models are slowly sensing the blocking that continues to strengthen across eastern Canada and Greenland. Instead of storms cutting to the Great Lakes, you’re now seeing these models trending farther south with the tracks of follow up systems…

I will throw you another update this evening. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday and take care.
A few fence sitting storms.
I think we know who will win that contest.
Thanks Chris for the afternoon update. Here in Central Kentucky it’s been Snow less just another Gloomy somewhat Rainy Sunday.
With the fast West to East of weak systems I don’t expect it will get too Warm or cold. Looks like on the models the majority of the Snows this coming week will stay up North and maybe a Rain Shower in my area of the state.
I think when the Cold and Snowy Winter subsides in Europe and Asia it may be our turn for “Real Deal” Winter Weather hopefully a couple Major Snowstorms in February or March that won’t melt in an hour.
I have read in various reports the deep freeze is coming by this time next weekend. But time will tell and hopefully that will bring an end of our snow drought here in Western ky
Amen Winterlover hope so!
If the Canada/Greenland blocking can pull in more cold air than is indicated right now, that last week of the month storm can over-perform big time, and give Warren County a realistic chance of measurable snow.
Again I did not expect warmer air today and expected 32 or lower. Warm air don’t care.
