Good Evening everyone. We will have several updates on this winter storm throughout the evening as we go into nowcasting mode. In looking at radar returns and the latest RUC and NAM… I am growing more concerned parts of western and central Kentucky may get in on some heavy snow late this evening and overnight before working eastward.

This REALLY needs to be watched over the next few hours as the dynamic cooling with this storm should be kicking in this evening from southwest to northeast. This is where some ground truth reports will be more needed than ever as that will help us better determine how quickly the change to snow is happening.

All that said… here is a look at the warnings and advisories…



I am not crazy about that few of counties being in a Warning… but oh well.

The latest snow probabilities forecast map from the HPC is rather bullish…

The new run of the NAM is picking up on this batch of heavy precip in western Ky and west Tn and switching it to heavy snow and laying down a heck of a lot of areas farther west…



Take that with a grain of salt… but the radar trends do suggest heavy snow farther west later this evening and tonight.

I will have another update in a few hours and will put out a final call at that time. Until then… I am playing weather dude on tv.

Take care.
