Tracking Severe Storms and Sunday Flakes

Good afternoon, everyone. Severe storms are racing across the state bringing high winds and a tornado threat. This is ahead of low pressure rolling through the region with cold winds and some snowflakes set to follow by Sunday.

I will have all your storm tracking tools in a moment, but I do want to talk briefly about the flakes Sunday and Sunday night. The best chance for light accumulations is across the far southeastern Kentucky counties. Farther west and north, some flurries or a light snow shower or two can fly during this time.

The Short Range Canadian has been the most aggressive of late and continues to be…

The GFS looks similar…

The Hi Res NAM is pretty much on board with a similar look…

Temps are much colder Sunday into Monday before seasonable numbers roll in for the rest of next week. That will be accompanied by calm weather ahead of another big eastern US storm likely to develop next weekend. The details of that are a long, long way from being ironed out as we have a big dip in the jet stream trying to meet up with a cutoff system coming out of the south…

The end result is the big storm system in the east…

    Thanks Chris. The line of Wind and Showers have past our area. Here in Maple we had 0.44 inches of rain / Showers. This will certainly help for a short while.

      Schroeder did you have a lot of wind??? I read 3 people were killed in Clarksville Tn And several injured how sad. I think that’s near Ky border not sure. It will hit here last I guess the rain and winds but sometimes they die out before they get here.

    No we didn’t receive any Wind. Sorry to learn that there were fatalities and injuries in the Tornado in Clarksville, Tn. yesterday. Clarksville, Tn. is located northwest of Nashville, Tn.
