Good Tuesday evening to my weather friends. I promised to drop by for an update and I am a weatherdude of my word… mostly. 😉 Here we go.
A weak system moves in on Wednesday with a shot of some light rain and light snow… especially in the south and east. Southeastern Ky has a shot at a small accumulation in the highest elevations. MUCH colder air will then fill in here Wednesday night and Thursday with lows in the upper teens and low 20s with highs in the 30s. Yep… that’s the first FULL day of spring.
Our focus will then turn toward two storm systems that may impact our weather. There are questions marks with both of these, but both may have a wintry aspect to them. The first arrives in western Kentucky by Friday and then tries to work eastward across the state into Saturday. The NAM is very aggressive in bringing snow and rain into our region…
Here’s the NAM Snowfall Map for that same period…
Well… that’s interesting. The GFS does NOT show that setup and is slower with the storm and is also a little warmer. The GFS then wraps up a storm on Sunday to our west and northwest and would give us thunderstorms that would transition to snow showers by Monday.
The European Model has a different look…
Either way… it’s going to get super cold again early next week and that lasts for most of the week. Winter just will not end!
Enjoy the evening and take care.
Im all about the 60s 70s no snow no cold
you have to love Ky weather. It’s a surprise every day. just like a box of chocolates, ” You never know what you’re gonna get.”
Agreed!
Geez, Chris… I know you are as tired of this as we are. And I know that later this summer, we will likely be complaining about the lack of rain. But it is what it is, and we “weather weenies” will be right here with you, getting through it all.
Despite the spring solstice being just a few days away, a Winter Storm Watch now in effect for far southeastern Missouri – directly across the Mississippi River from several counties in both Kentucky and northwestern Tennessee.
winter never came, at least not here in geo central Ky, so what else is new, the dome has been in place. Welcome to Spring !!!
Spring Solstice is Wednesday morning!
That said…we are due for a relatively frigid March after the ridiculous weather we had a year ago at this time. I will patiently wait for a pattern flip in April hopefully.
