Good Friday evening to one and all. Our Super Bowl weekend is kicking off on a wintry note for many across the state. A dual area of low pressure is working toward the region right now with light rain and snow breaking out from south to north.
The best area for accumulating snows will be across western and northern Kentucky where a general 1″-3″ will fall. I wouldn’t rule out someone picking up 4″ out of this as it appears to be an overachiever. A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY is out for much of the highlighted area…
Follow the precipitation and temps here…
Clouds are keeping temps in check…

Looking ahead to next week… the arctic front sweeping in here Monday will have a swatch of rain and snow ahead of it. We will likely see a switch to a round of snow late Monday with snow showers and squalls into early Tuesday. The setup with this situation is likely to crank up another big northeastern U.S. storm during this time. That MAY impact the storm behind it for the middle and end of next week.
Speaking of that storm… the European and Canadian models are all over it. The European is spitting out a big hitting snow for the entire state…
The Canadian is trying to do the same…
The new GFS… has totally lost the storm…
Thursday Morning
One has to love the GFS and the waffles it serves up. 
I honestly hope no one is using the model to base a forecast on right now. If they are… ummm… well… I will remain silent.
There are PLENTY of things that can go wrong with the storm for the end of next week. But it won’t be because there will be NO storm. If it misses us… chances are it passes to our south. That said… we are in the game for this one so don’t go back and forth with each model run as the pattern strongly suggests a storm!
I will have a full update coming later tonight so check back. Take care.

If we get any snow here in Versaiiles we won’t where out retreat will be at cumberland Lake! It’s me that’s the jinx! Oh well! Maybe I’ll blow some your way!!
our retreat I mean!
I’m so sick of the stupid gfs and its games!! So the next time someone starts praising the stupid thing just remember the “WAFFLE HOUSE” is the only place that the gfs has any clue about!!! Maybe it can accurately forecast the amount of syrup that lands on those waffles!!!
I’ll take some iHop please.
Wouldn’t be surprised if this took a turn up the TN Valley into E TN.Then Knowing our luck it will bring warm air an get all rain.Seems like ky is in a no win situation.To cold and supresses the storm to the south.Storm starts shifting northeast or northwest brings warm air with it.I’ve come to the conclusion that 20 things need to align perfectly for ky to get a decent snow????
THINK SNOW, I guess that is the motto these days lol
oh and to the people who wanted an update…im currently working on it.
I can think snow all I want but it seems like things are already stacked against us in this storm and honestly I have no more faith in snow around here. I am a normal optimist but this year I’ve had enough faith for all of us but still no big snows around here. Maybe next year. I’m wondering what Bubba’s thoughts on this storm…he’s usually spot on.
35 degress, calm winds and cloudy.
Where is everyone at tonight…playing Black Ops I guess…it’s a double XP weekend and everyone is sick of seeing the big snows go everywhere but here.
A model called the DGEX aka extended NAM backs the ECMWF nicely in fact the CMC has the snow north and west of the region. this currently leaves the GFS as a major outlier.
guarantee it goes north giving Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois snow
This storm is more predictable than the super bowl 😉
Awesome. No sleep for another week. lol I said I wasn’t going to get excited about next week’s storm but I can’t help it. Please let this be the “one” …. that actually travels through Kentucky, Madison county to be specific.
I feel the same way! After the last let down I said “stop spending so much time refreshing Chris” LOL
I don’t think we will get anything next week but hey, it’s fun here!
the runt of the litter (GFS) is already starting to correct north give it a few days to figure things out. That is Monday morning by that time the storm is in the upper air network.
I love weather and I love your web site. Thanks so much for doing this. I want a BIG snow, like the blizzard of 93!!! I love being snowed in with my family, it is such a special time….I am lucky I get to be home on those days. I teach school and I think I love the snow days more than the children do.
Looking at the 0z GFS I thought it looked like it was trying to pick the storm up again….then it shifted the low off the coast. Think it might be a duel low scenerio like we have seen so many times already this year? I cant understand why storms seem not to wrap up until they have already passed us by. The few that dont leave us in the warm sector…
Sad…the rain/snow line has set up even farther west than recent forecasts, on a NE axis from Owensboro to Covington. Temperature in Louisville has been steady at 34 for a couple hours now, starting to lose hope for anything at all tonight 🙁
Here’s hoping I wake up to something though.
