Good Wednesday evening everyone. Well… it’s just about game on for some wild weather across the commonwealth. Our big storm will drag a cold front through here Thursday and that means everything but the kitchen sink is being thrown our way.
I’m going to let my WKYT maps do the breakdown…
I highly reccommend securing those outdoor Christmas decorations before the winds start to crank. Speaking of Christmas, check out our WKYT holiday promo:
Enjoy the evening and take care.
That’s a great promo, except for Chris getting hit with the snowball. I must say, though, that I always enjoy the promos featuring the kids of the WKYT staff. I haven’t seen one of those this year.
The weather tomorrow will be my least favorite — windy! Well, an ice storm is worse. Hope I didn’t just jinx us. 🙂
No mention of next weeks action, not a good sign:(
yeah they didn’t even bother with the white christmas segment today
Don’t read anything into either of those. I have to focus on the action over the next two days before the Christmas storm. 🙂
i know its a few days off but forecast looked just wet if i looked at it right for Christmas Eve there is some time between now and then maybe things will flip flop the other way
at some point and time we have to get a flip flop in our favor.
A weak low that will end in a little wrap around snow.
Dear Santa Chris, I would like 4 to 5 inches of snow on Christmas…. Oldham County… Please… I will leave out some cookies and bourbon. 😉
So, earlier today I posted that the 12Z Euro looked favorable for snow (which it does). MJ disagreed and said the model kept us too warm for snow. I think we must be looking at different things. The 12Z ECMWF run I am looking at shows -10 temps at the 850 level. That translates to 14 degrees F at the surface. And that’s with the low in Indiana, very close-by. If 14 degrees with a low just to our north giving us a good fetch off the Lakes isn’t favorable for snow, then I suppose we are all just boned for the rest of this season.
Andy, you’re very welcomed for my input. 😉
Keep the faith people. It’s still likely that we see a rain to snow scenario but some of the data is suggesting otherwise.
Oh did you give your opinion on something sorry i must have scrolled past it
Geesh….
I’m on your side on this one WX!
I suppose I was looking at the front end of the system, which indeed is way warm for snow. Yes, the cold air pours in behind with a rain to snow. The 12Z euro ensembles were further east with the system anyway, so I suspect that the operational models are not handling the blocking well. Considering the poor model continuity in both the operational and ensemble models, I can conclude that we’ll have a pretty significant storm next week in the east…however the details will come into focus later this weekend.
Wxman I think your input is very helpful u don’t always agree with Chris but you have your opinion just like everybody else….
Bring on the snow, if I can’t be floating on Lake Cumberland I want snow…
If you go by the trends and model average, mix is best case fro next week. Will we get a trend buster, or a trend conformer?
Time for you to go to Love’s for a time out!!!
Seems like everyone is not too excited about 50 mph winds and blowing snow….Tough crowd….Be safe out there everyone…50 mph gusts are nothing to sneeze at…
Tie down your Christmas yard art!!!!!
I knew there was a reason I didn’t get around to putting up my outdoor decorations this year!
everyone be safe.. look out for the pets.. cold and ugly ahead!!
No doubt my husband will be out working on power lines!!!
