Good afternoon, folks. It’s Valentine’s Day to you, but its Monday to me. We have plenty of sunshine to go along with another colder than normal day, but the numbers are set to climb over the next few days. This surge in temps is ahead of a potent storm system on the way for the second half of the week.
Temps climb quickly on Tuesday and reach the 50s for many with 60 in the west. 60s then look common for most on Wednesday as southwest winds and clouds increase ahead of our late week storm system.
The track of the low likely takes a track to our northwest and this places Kentucky in the line of fire for strong to severe storms.
The GFS has been steady as a rock with this track and potential…
While this isn’t your classic instability driven springtime severe weather event, there’s quite a bit of shear and wind energy available for showers and storms to tap. The GFS wind gust forecast is pretty crazy and indicates the potential…
The NAM only goes through 7pm Thursday, but has a similar view…
Here are the wind gusts from that run…
With each run, the EURO is trending farther northwest toward the GFS…
Wind gust forecast…
The Canadian continues to be more of a winter look, but it’s also going farther northwest compared to earlier runs…
Wind gusts…
Temps crash behind this system, but there’s already a signal for a similar looking storm a few days after this one. It’s going to be a very active late winter/early spring, folks.
Make it a good one and take care.
Not ideal weather but I will take it.
