Good evening, folks. The final weekend of January is off and running on a windy and nice note. This nice weather carries us into Saturday before soggy weather returns to end the weekend. Once into next week, we are riding a messy fence line that places us deeper into the cold air compared to the past few weeks.
I don’t have much time, but I want to focus quickly on the setup for next week.
The NWS is highlighting the potential…
The various forecast models won’t have a solid handle on precipitation types, but it’s just the trends to watch for with two different waves of low pressure along the boundary a good bet…
Again, don’t get stuck on any model right now. It’s the overall setup that’s important and it’s one that can put all precipitation types on the table.
Enjoy the rest of the evening and take care.
Thanks CB, still seems that mix and ice being the main KY precipitation. Those three record snows in a year- about eight years ago seem a distant memory. Since approaching a decade now, I guess it would be a distant memory!
if you start putting the word Ice in your outlooks and the models go more pink in trend- bank on it. Snow may be a moving target for models, but ice for the models is like a giant barn , ten feet away.
Nothing good to see on these runs.
The Southeast Ridge will keep the Ice away I hope. I really strongly believe that Kentucky only receives Snowstorms during weak El Nino years. Back in 2009 that awful Ice storm occurred in a La Nina year. I’m hoping there isn’t a repeat of that disaster. NOAA doesn’t know what phase of ENSO we will be in this time next year. I won’t be surprise if we have a 4th year of La Nina the way it looks now in the Tropical Pacific.
