Good afternoon, folks. You know you’re in a harsh winter pattern when the flakes just won’t stop flying. Those flakes are still putting down coatings across the east as we get set for the coldest night of the winter and then a clipper.
As skies FINALLY begin to clean up tonight, temps hit the single digits for areas with snow on the ground. A few spots may make a run at zero.
The clipper moving in for Sunday is a fast-mover that clips areas of northern and eastern Kentucky. Just how much of a clip depends on the track of our weak low pressure. Much of the snow falls north of the Ohio River on the GFS…
The model does bring some light stuff fairly far south.
The Hi Res NAM wants to reward patient snow-lovers in the far north…
The Euro looks like this…
And the Canadian…
The next system rolls in here by Monday night and Tuesday and is a much bigger and stronger one. The latest GFS still doesn’t give us a more merged storm system, but it has enough to cause a few issues Tuesday. Here’s the GFS…
And the Canadian…
The setup for the end of next week has a look to it. It’s a look that tries to get a major storm system to develop across the eastern half of the country…
As I said… It’s about to get very active, again.
Enjoy the start to the weekend and take care.
Looks like in my area less Snow chances coming up due to a shift in the Polar Jet Stream. The Subtropical Jet remains well to our south. Any phasing will most likely occur off the Southeast Coast over the next ten days.
Will WKY ever break the dome keeping the snow away?? The east continues to get it all…
Doesn’t look good over the next ten days for Snow. The Clipper path has changed and moved farther north and east and besides there isn’t any phasing with the Subtropical Jet stream to make a Big time Snowstorm.
