Snow Showers and Another Possible Winter Storm

Good evening, everyone. Winter storm number 1 is now in our rearview mirror with frigid air taking control for the next few days. This will be followed by the potential of another Winter Storm Friday and Saturday.

Winter Storm Warnings are finally expiring across eastern Kentucky…

Additional snow showers and flurries show up tonight into Tuesday with hit and run light accumulations possible. There’s a better chance for light snow and some snow showers that can throw down a half to local 1″ totals from Tuesday night into Wednesday.

These light snows are showing up well on the future radar from the Hi Res NAM and the NAM…

The Winter Storm THREAT comes at us Friday and Saturday as low pressure develops in Texas and rolls toward the northeast, potentially phasing with a system dropping in from the northwest. That’s what the GFS and Canadian Models have been suggesting for a while now and the GFS continues to show another healthy winter storm…

The EURO had this a few days ago but has a lighter event without any phasing going on…

That would still be good for a few to several inches of snow, though. I don’t trust the EURO with phasing issues with energy coming from the southwest as it tends to struggle from this time range.

Regardless, another snow system follows that up by Sunday and Monday with more arctic air diving in behind that with a pattern that’s harsh for the next 2 to 3 weeks.

The EURO Ensembles show this well as they run MUCH colder than normal though January 21st…

I’ll have a full update later tonight. Until then, I have your tracking tools including our Kentucky Weather Cams to watch the wild weather across entire region…

Enjoy the rest of the evening and take care.
