Good Tuesday, folks. I wish I had better news to deliver to all those who have a serious case of spring fever. Unfortunately, it appears winter still has some more punches to throw our way before we can get into springtime. One of those punches comes tonight and Wednesday.
That’s when another cold front drops in from the northwest. This front will deliver even colder air than what we have out there today. Readings Wednesday will stay in the low and middle 30s for much of the state, with gusty winds making it feel much colder.
Snow showers and flurries will be dancing around into much of Tomorrow and I can’t rule out a rooftop coating for parts of the region. The GFS is even hinting at this…
This is a healthy cold shot that has been advertised on the blog for a while. Thursday has the chance to start in the upper teens for a few spots as the cold continues. There is a weak system diving in from the northwest by Thursday evening and that may bring a rain or snow shower our way.
Temps will rebound closer to normal for Friday into the coming weekend. But, it won’t be pretty. A weak front looks to hang across the region and deliver us the chance for scattered showers.
This will lead us into a pattern that can take a walk on the wild side next week. I continue to see signs for a major eastern half of the country winter storm. How this works out and sets up is a long way from being figured out. The European Model continues to advertise a big time event…
That’s a pretty wicked setup to see this time of year and is one we will have to watch as we go through the rest of the week. Here’s hoping the pattern ends up looking NOTHING like the one shown above. 🙂
Enjoy your day and take care.
that wind is bitter out there! it about cut me in two while I was pumping gas, which went up by the way.
Thats the moto show a storm a week out and as you get closer nothing
so why should this one be any different
1987 MEGA STORM???? that what I see hints of possible as we head on towards the same time period as it was back then late march/first april..
Based on the results of all these outlook hints, we would be best to think about sports 🙂
I agree! Go Kings! Go Dodgers! 😀
another 40 degrees and rain storm, followed by insignificant snow flurries.Thats my prediction next week.
Expecting alot if your guessing snow flurries 😉
ok next week, winter storm …. hey why not forecast on the WKYT defender …. next 10 days shows temps in 50’s and 60’s … next Monday shows rain and 67, Tue and Wed, sunny 55 ….. so where’s the BIG storm … not happening jack !!
Great point! Wsaz is nil on the possibility as well…
This weekend was beautiful here in Paintsville KY. Wished it would stay that way, frog sounds are really loud at night. March is so unpredictable but we take what ever comes. Brrrrrr it is cold, I agree with the wind it’s really cold. Thank you CB for a wonderful job u do in keeping us updated on the weather.
I’m surprised that you are hearing frogs. I didn’t think they would come out until it warmed up for a period of time. Of course I’m in Lexington and there aren’t any ponds or streams left anymore or it seems like it. I wish you hadn’t mentioned frogs, now I want a mess of legs, mashed taters and white gravy and some sweet corn to top it off.
Frogs have been singing for weeks now in Knox County
No storm coming, just a little cold behind some rain, northeast storm most likely happens, but not here, come on spring you can fight this!
A friend of mine who lives in the burbs of London England said they received 8 inches of snow today and it’s complete chaos there and very rare for them.
I read online that some parts of England recieved nearly two feet of snow and this is in a part of England. It said that traffic was at a stand still because they are not equiped for that kind of weather.
Yep, I lived there for four years and there were a few five” snows and that shut stuff down too. They have had several 10″ snows in the past several winters.
Thing is, it usually all melts away in a few days. Rain washes it away.
I lived in Oxford (30 miles west of London) for 14 years. More than 6 inches of snow was rare, probably only happened in my part of the UK 2 or 3 times during my stay…
I remember a snow of March 31.1988.several inches of snow.
.and in Kentucky its wake up and look out the window.. Anything is possible around Campbell county key:)
And by the way the clock for time posted is an hr behind:)
Another brush with winter makes sense, since all winter has been a brush with winter 😉 🙂
And all winter you have had naysayers and negative nellies take jabs at Chris.
Sorry Jeff — the jabs are at the weather not Chris. I am sure he gives us the best he’s got. He just has terrible tools (models) to work with.
Another snow storm coming? Not entirely out of the question…
We had a 5″ storm on March 20th of 1996.
And I do so love my snow days!!!
First 12 days of March 2013 average high 47.5. First 12 days of March 2012 average high 62. (Knox Co. ) Monthly average March 2012 (71 degrees). Going to have to warm up and stay warm if we are going to get anywhere close to that.
central ky weather on facebook just says chance of snow for tonight is gone but will be 29 tonight. mostly cloudy and clearing up tomorrow.
nws still got 20 percent chance of snow.
well have to listen to chris at 11 to see what he thinks for tonight.
