Winter Storm THREAT Friday and Saturday

Good afternoon, everyone. My time is rather short so I wanted to drop by for an update on the current winter storm that’s wrapping up and for the one waiting on deck. Let’s go ahead and call this a Winter Storm THREAT for Friday and Saturday.

The current storm has the upper low spinning through Kentucky, dropping another 1″-3″ of snow across central and eastern parts of the state. Gusty winds may create whiteout conditions at times, and this will only add more misery on top of a terrible situation across the region.

Our Winter Storm WARNING continues for many into early this evening…

Once this system moves away, snow showers and flurries continue to fly across the central and east Tuesday through Thursday. Light accumulations are a good bet with these.

Any night that skies clear will find temps going toward 0 or below with the best chance of this coming Wednesday or Thursday morning. Skies have to clear for that to happen, so let’s hope snow showers and flurries keep that from happening.

Our next winter storm has a lot of potential as we aren’t too far away from the models showing a fully phased storm coming out of the Gulf of Mexico and up the east coast.

The GFS is a pretty solid hit around here…

So is the Canadian…

I will have updates on WKYT-TV through the day and during our regular newscasts.  KWC Updates will come your way later today. Until then, I have your tracking tools including our Kentucky Weather Cams to watch the wild weather across entire region…

Have a great Monday and take care.
