Good evening, folks. Our long Thanksgiving holiday weekend is just about upon us and things continue to look active… and wintry. We are heading into a full-blown winter pattern to end November and kick off December.
Overall, I have no changes to the forecast with the system rolling through here over the next few days. Rain breaks out from southwest to northeast Wednesday evening with the chance for that to end as a little light snow in the north during the early morning hours of Thanksgiving. Behind that comes a cold wind with some flurries or a light snow shower Thanksgiving night into early Black Friday, especially in central and eastern Kentucky.
You can see this well on the future radar from the Hi Res NAM that starts Wednesday evening and runs through 1am Friday…
The latest GFS is also showing the chance for some flakes in far northern Kentucky early Thanksgiving morning…
Cold winds will be blowing for Friday into the weekend with a clipper looking system zipping through here Saturday night and early Sunday. This may very well bring a light snowfall to much of Kentucky as it will be falling into some pretty cold air.
Here’s the EURO showing this system…
The GFS is very similar…
Can we get an inch or two out of this? Maybe.
Arctic cold sweeps in with this system with wind chills reaching single digits at times and they may even flirt with negative numbers on a few mornings early next week.
The overall pattern through the next two weeks continues to show remarkable stability with deep troughs swinging into the eastern half of the country with a ridge up the west coast to Alaska.
The EURO Ensembles show no change through December 11…
The AI version of the EURO gives us a better look at individual troughs…
PTA coming tonight!!!!!
Enjoy the evening and take care.
