Good Sunday to one and all. It’s another below normal temp day, but the good news is it’s not as cold as where we’ve been. As we head into a new week, the pattern is fairly calm before it threatens to turn up for Super Bowl Weekend. That’s when a storm system may show up.
The only system we have to track over the next couple of days is a weak one dropping in from the northwest. This may bring a couple of snow showers or flurries in here Monday into early Tuesday. Here’s where the NAM thinks can see some flakes flying…
The next system rolling in behind this arrives later Wednesday into Thursday and may also spit out a few snow shower or flurries…
What happens from here is what we have to keep a close eye on. Do we get a big storm system to develop for Super Bowl Weekend or do we get just get a simple clipper looking system? That will depend on what happens with the upper levels.
The latest runs of the GFS and Canadian models keep enough separation between the northern branch and southern branch of the jet stream to prevent a big storm from developing…
That setup would give us a simple clipper type system…
The Euro has gone from having a full blown winter storm to a close call…
We shall see how things work out in the coming days, but the pattern is favorable for one of these systems to dig in and turn into something more.
Enjoy the day and take care.
Thanks Chris, I hope we will have more Sunshine this coming week with normal temperatures.
I ran the Ventusky ten day GFS model and nothing really showing up in the way of Snowstorms to Ice Storms to severe weather, but this is only one model.
So far to date we have had our average Snowfall total of twelve inches which is pathetic compared to other area of the country. I miss those big late Snowstorms of the past we had back in Indiana. In fact just the other day during our ( Ice Storm followed by one inch of Snow ) where I grew up in South Central Indiana they had a bit of sleet followed by a foot of Snow. I’ve talk to some older people who have been here in South Central Kentucky all their lives and told me ” it use to Snow more than it does now especially in February through April. ” Oh well the Climate has definitely changed for the warmer so we well get use to it and except it as our normal.
If the only Snows we get anymore are from Alberta Clippers, I just assume do without the Snow and have mild Winters and early Summers from now on.
GO BENGALS !!!
Thanks Chris, normal temperatures for the next ten days and just a slight chance a Storm may form. I will take that action. #TeamSummer
