Good afternoon, all. The weekend continues to look wild with an increasing potential for high winds and strong or severe thunderstorms. A deepening area of low pressure will scoot northeastward across the western Ohio Valley late Saturday into early Sunday.
This will set the stage for a possible high wind and strong/severe storm event across much of the region.
The latest GFS is now more in line with the stronger solutions from the European and Canadian models. Here’s a look at the potent system…
The Storm Prediction Center has already put far western Kentucky in the risk area for Saturday.
That threat zone will likely be expanded farther northeast for Saturday night and Sunday morning. Heavy rain across parts of central and western Kentucky may also cause some high water.
A surge of very cold air comes in behind this system. A temperature drop of 40 degrees+ will be likely from Sunday morning into Sunday night. The Canadian Model continues to show more upper level energy diving in here by Monday into Tuesday. The latest run tries to close off an upper level low across the region…
That setup could produce, at least, some flakes for Christmas Eve and Day.
I will have another update this evening. Take care.
it all comes down to the Canadian model. good luck Kentucky.
Amen to that
Don’t hold your breathe but it’s possible
I had a response to your post.
I guess it got lost in cyberspace just like possibility of a major snowfall during Christmas.
All Mets I have seen are saying no snow until at least 2 weeks.
They are guessing at best, no forecast more than 5 days out is even remotely accurate, especially in this part of the world!
I can forecast more than 5 days out…….COLD RAIN. There you go.
BigPoppaSnow (Waiting patiently for the oven timer to go off, the pizza delivery to arrive and for a whopper 2 inch COLD RAIN storm for Christmas!)
Rain will be gone by Chris Mas! 🙂
The same ones who said November and December would be warm? 😉
The same ones that love to see the trolls SPAM this blog with their inane drivel and persecution complexes whenever you disagree with them.
Whatever Hamlin, you attack anyone who dares disagree with CB or wants to blow off frustration. If everyone was as noble and righteous as you, the world would be such a grand place.
I never said I was righteous or noble, but thanks for the compliment. 🙂
“That setup could produce, at least, some flakes for Christmas Eve and Day” squeeze hard enough and it could hurt
High winds with storms or sustained high winds like when the remnants of Ike blew over Kentucky? That day scared the you-know-what out of me.
This forecast continues to get more and more depressing, which at this point is pretty amazing because it already stinks. 🙁
