Good Thursday evening to one and all. We have a nice day that’s wrapping up across the bluegrass state. Temps are in the upper 30s and low 40s with some high clouds rolling in from the west. These high clouds are ahead of a cold front that arrives on the scene Friday evening.
This front is likely to have a narrow band of light snow and flurries with it as it rolls from northwest to southeast. You can see these flakes showing up on the NAM Simulated Radar…
That may put down dusting from Friday evening into Saturday morning as the coldest air of the season moves in behind it.
I will have the usual full update coming later tonight. Have a good evening and take care.

tx LEGEND..
The GFS run after run is indicating that *something* is going to happen around Christmas. Energy diving into a deep trough should kick up at least some activity, if not a full blown storm around here.
Right now the time frame is in fantasy land but has been depicted on too many runs to not take notice, should be interesting
I hope this doesn’t end up like that December 2004 winter storm that narrowly missed Lexington.
The thing that scares me is that this year seems very similar to 04-05. Both had lots and lots of rain and were La Ninas. And that persistant southeastern ridge is a real problem.
Euro weeklies had a nice reversal with the long range pattern this week. SE ridge not nearly as dominant with arctic air starting to come in late month. pattern appeared to be a drier one though. Not sure I buy it would like to see some warming at the 10 mb level over the pole to help the AO go -.
I hope Chris can give me or us some encouragement with his upcoming forecast. Right now I am having a nightmare about a green or brown grass xmas.
Thanks Mr. Weather!!
Seth, you should be a wee bit happy that storm missed you…Louisville got all the snow, and just 10+miles South of there got an Ice Storm…one of our WORST here in Bardstown. I watched that storm right here (until the power went out) and it was headed due east for you guys…I was peed because we got ice, but even worse peed off when I took my Mom to get her paycheck in Okolona a couple days later and we had to dig our way around a foot of snow around the gate into her plant to get it…it was hard to grasp that here in bardstown we had like 1/2″ ice on everything and literally “shut down”…drive 10-15 miles down the road and you get into about 5-6” of snow…25-30 miles you’ve got a foot…
I live in Campbell County and it took me an entire day to dig my car out of a foot of snow and sleet. Not fun. I was glad that back then I could walk to Kroger.
