Good afternoon everyone and thanks for all you do for the center. Snow flurries and a few leftover snow showers are hanging tough across parts of central and eastern Kentucky. The flakes just don’t want to end across the east where many folks picked up a lot of snow over the past few days.
Those flakes are going along with another very cold day around here as temps are struggling to get out of the lower 20s for many. Winds are gusty leading to low wind chills again. Track it all here…

I will have another update coming later this afternoon or evening to get you updated on how things play out with the next system this weekend into early next week.
Have a great afternoon and take care.

Thanks Chris for the update, and keep us ahead of the winter weather here in the MNTS…!!
Flurries have Finally about come to an end, and sun is trying to peek out some here in knox co…
NO SCHOOL IN KNOX CO..UNTIL TUESDAY!!..:(
…..
The NEXT STORM…UGH…12z gfs showing 1-2″ of liquid thru wed. of next week…that could mean some big time flooding IF ITS RAIN…Looking forward to the next update……
Thanks Chris, What a ride . Some of us should be careful what we wish for!
first? I will say none of the models are right. gfs to fast sending the enrgy northeast on monday with rain/frz rain the 00z ecmwf held it a touch to long with just light snow tuesday. my thinking is a low tracks up west or east of the mountains tuesday.
curious to see how this one plays out.
what i was think days ago, going be a west of the apps running low into great lakes by look of things.
Thanks Chris!!! Next one looks to be a hard one to call right now. Trends are going toward all rain for most of Kentucky. I can see the far northern sections getting in on mix of rain and snow. Let the precep slow down a day and cold advance a day and we will be in good shape. I, like Chris will wait until later Friday to really see what the models show. THIS ONE WILL MORE THAN LIKELY BE THE CLASSIC SNOW/RAIN/SNOW HERE IN LOU. AND HEAVY SNOW 10-20 MILES TO THE NORTH….
THINK SNOW….
Chris, I know what you mean about hanging tough! We have had light snow and flurries up until about an hour or so ago here in Somerset. So funny to see a clear radar, and snow just peppering down.
Looking forward to your thoughts on the next system. Gotta say this…Hey! What’s the weather for the weekend gonna be? Will it be hot, cold, rain, snow? (Or most of the above? 😉 )
So you are saying you think the center of low pressure will go south of Lexington?? That’s a bold call right there.
Fortunately, we can count on you to flip flop as soon as one the models tells you something different.
Not to psycho-analyze what CB posted, but if he even though there was a chance of a significant event, he would have posted a classic CB teaser about it, just as he has for every event to date.
Sadly, Richmond and other areas are still waiting for a decent event. Tito! Throw me a tissue!
*Cough* Wishcast! *Cough* 🙂
every model shows a different evolution of this whole setup and they change from run to run. Those changes can have a big difference in the actual weather around here and I suspect it won’t be until later Friday we see them converging on a solution
That was a copy and paste from the horses mouth..lol
Its gonna be snow, people…. Just SNOW. Did you HEAR ME. ITS GONNA BE ALL SNOW!!
**maniacally giggling as she staggers away talking to herself**
😉
Seriously..?
And you call yourself a professional..?
Please save us the sarcasm MJ, and help the blog with your meteorological experience…
Snowed most all day today in Pikeville.Now back to your regularly scheduled program lol.
In south lex I think we had a couple of inches on Tues, then nothing additional Tues night or Wed night–I don’t think that part of the forecast worked out for us….
Is that snow out by Chicago going to swing through here tonight? It looks like it’s on track…
uuuhhhhhh………… what is that big blue blob that is marching across IL? are we going to get any of that?
Did you meet me in another life? You act the same way I do when I see a snowstorm potential—- and—after watching not one but two storm systems completely missing the bluegrass at the same time.
Take it to the bank, the next system will not bring us a snowstorm. If it does, I’m gonna grow wings AND a stinger.
This is the forecast for me per Channel 8 in Knoxville.
LATE WEEKEND STORM
Saturday Afternoon (5 PM start) SNOW (roughly .25 inches), then some SLEET (.01”), followed by HEAVY RAIN (1.41”), then more SNOW (.50 – 1.5 inches)
I liked the sarcasm MJ, I thought it was funny…
Is that snow across Ill going to get any of us in KY?
That got my attention too.
that still only gives a 50/50 shot for the low to track south of lexington. noitce how the gfs has gone from .5 qpf 12z run monday daytime in bwg to nothing on the 18z run. still correcting in my view.
Same here. Anyone have any idea if this think is a threat? We need to have school in Scott County tomorrow!
Will that snow on radar make it to Central Kentucky?
I totally agree Matt.
If you live in Madison County forget it. Snow bounces off the county lines. lol Seriously …. I know nothing.
Ok, I just saw that big blue thing marching south on the radar…. wth? Is that gonna make it here? Where did that come from, LOL?
Appears to be diminishing as it nears.
woooo, that was scary. i am all for some snow, but i gotta go to work tomorrow. and my kids are driving me batpoocrazy!
Lighten up Vinny…really…I was just joshing Mitch.
To address your concerns about next week, it will be at least Saturday or Sunday before the models will latch on to this system. The overall pattern is favorable, but there are too many “what if’s” at the moment.
LOL. It sure looked exciting for a minute 🙂
It gets smaller and smaller like we have a big hair dryer in KY, pointed towards any snow that comes our way, LMAO!!!!
I know that MJ wishcasting would be for snow lol. My thoughts leave room either way in terms of type adding the DGEX model to the list of cmc and JMA which go toward this track. still worth noting mainly a rain event on the 18z DGEX.
Tahee!
Not to psycho-analyze every CB post, but if he had any thought the stuff for this weekend of next week had potential, he would hint of it with his classic teases. He has done them for every event so far- until now.
Me thinks we will be seeing the usual thang: 33 and higher with mix & rain and then tail end moisture at 32 and below.
Our moment of glory for 32 and below, big snow action seems to have went north and south of us. Bold talk? Yep, but I gots’ 13 yearn’ of history to back me up 😉 ….. 🙁
Including THIS winter. Please do not bring up all these little snows that would not even challenge a chihuahua 😉
We seem to have evolved from big snows to drive-by snows.

i dont call it wishcasting, i call it predicting the weather which is what meteorologist are suppose to do, its not just going by the models, maybe thats why MJs forecats and discussions have been inaccurate for the most part. If being a meteorogist was just reading models than most of us could do it easily. NWS has been absolutely horrible, as bad as the weather channel, chris bailey has been the best forecaster i have ever seen. so your sarcastic remark about mitch was uncalled for. he did not say that was his forecast, a possibility and anything is a possibilty, all these big storms have looked great for us 4-5 days out to only shift north or south to give us the light stuff, anything can happen with models.
We missed out on a couple feet of snow in 2004 by just 50 miles.

MJ:
Forgive my “knee jerk” reaction to your post.
Mitch is a loyal and consistent contributor to this blog and I over reacted like a over zealous big bother…
I for one appreciate yours and every meteorologist *free* contributions to this fantastic, entertaining and helpful weather blog…!
Booyah,
MJs forecats and discussions have been inaccurate for the most part..
100% accurate…
On second thought…that might conjure up images I didn’t think about before…
*ahem*
Moving on….
