Good Tuesday evening, gang. A WINTER STORM WATCH has already been issued for western Kentucky for Thursday night into Friday. Here’s a look…

Warnings

That is likely to be the first of many issued for Kentucky through the next several days. Snow and ice will impact this region first Thursday night and Friday morning. The WPC has this region outlooked for a high risk for ice during this time…

HPCThe snow and ice line will continue to collapse eastward during the day on Friday. The GFS  continues to come around to a colder, faster solution during that time period. The European Model has been showing that cold air from the start and it looks like the GFS is running home to it.

Many of you are talking about the snowfall totals coming in from the European Model. Here’s what’s getting all the attention…

The following GFS maps are just plain nasty…

Look… this is going to get super messy over an extended period of time. We will fine tune as we get closer.

Take care.
