Good evening, folks. As expected, historic snows fell across central and eastern Kentucky this morning as a winter looking and feeling pattern continues. As the flakes stop flying, our attention turns toward the potential for record cold Wednesday morning.

You guys just lived through one of the top 5 earliest snowfalls on record for Kentucky with some areas actually seeing snow on the ground. My Twitter feed has some amazing mid-October snow pics and videos…

One more round of rain and snow showers may brush northern and northeastern Kentucky this evening. Here are your radars to track how close that stuff gets…

Some of us set record low high temps today, too.

In order to set record lows tonight, skies have to clear. Those with clear skies will be into the low and middle 20s with wind chills much colder…

If you don’t set a record low tonight, you get another shot Wednesday night as readings reach deep into the 20s again.

We continue to see a big break by the weekend with temps reaching the 70s for highs and that takes us into the start of next week. The pattern becomes much more active after this, but there’s some serious disagreement on the models. Shocker, right?

The GFS continues to point toward another big time trough in the east…

The EURO appears to be playing into its bias of keeping troughs in the west too long…

The Canadian is more of a compromise that looks a little more like the GFS than EURO…

Time will tell.

Stay warm, enjoy the evening and take care.
