Good Tuesday afternoon gang. The models are starting to advertise a bit more snow with the clipper moving in later this week and are also cranking out some light snow for some before that. All this adds up to what is going to become a major period of winter weather across the country for the rest of the month.

For more than a week now… we have talked about a southern system that had a shot to throw up some light snow into parts of the state. The closer we get… the more this looks to be the case… especially across our southern counties. This isn’t going to be a lot of snow… but enough to cover the ground for many. Here is a First Call For Snowfall…



The farther south you live… the better the chance of putting snow on the ground. Southern Kentucky has been a sweet spot for snow this winter and this system may do the trick yet again.

The clipper diving in for Thursday night through Friday continues to show up a bit stronger on each model run. The models are spitting out some decent snowfall with this. One thing to keep in mind is we should see some pretty good snow ratios setting up with this meaning this could be an overachiever.

Here is what the models show for the combined snowfall from Wednesday through Friday…


That is pretty impressive… especially for southeastern Kentucky where both models are spitting out up to 6″ of snow before the week is out.

With arctic air spilling in with the clipper… temps this weekend can tank!

A complex storm will be rolling out of the southern plains states Sunday into Monday. This is going to be a tough forecast until the models can get into some agreement on how it all plays out in terms of track of the low and just how many lows we will have to track. Early odds favor snow breaking out from west to east later Sunday into Monday as one low moves toward the Tennessee Valley. This low would then give way to a more powerful low to our southeast and east that rides up the coast. A scenario like that means everybody gets snow early with a mix threat in the middle for some then all snow again. That is nowhere even close to being a certainty as this is a complex system.

One thing for sure… arctic air is going to be moving in behind the departing storm and will get FRIGID around here for a long time to come. There will also be a few more systems we will have to watch for in the coming weeks that can blow up into big storms.

I will update again this evening so check back. Have a great rest of your Tuesday and take care.
