Happy New Year’s Eve! It’s cold and calm for all the party goers this evening, but that won’t last long. Winter is ready to surge back in with snow chances and arctic cold temps.
I have no changes in the Thursday system. A light snowfall will be common across the state as gusty winds and arctic temps surge in during the day. The wind chill numbers for Thursday night and Friday morning may go below zero.
Looking down the road… we continue to track a MAJOR arctic blast and storm system arriving Sunday into early next week. Someone sent me a snippet of the afternoon discussion from the NWS Louisville talking about how the European Model was trending toward the GFS with this setup. Ummmm… WHAT? You mean the same GFS that had NO Sunday storm system and had NO major arctic blast behind it until recently?? That’s a heck of a spin job. 😉
Anyway… here’s what the oh so superior GFS is now showing for Tuesday morning…
Now… if we could only get the other models trend toward those numbers. Wait… you mean they were showing those kinds of numbers a few days ago while the GFS was in la la land?
I’m getting dizzy and it’s not from partaking in any beverages on this New Year’s Eve. 🙂 Here’s the song for the evening…
Happy New Year and take care.
Happy New Year CB!
We’ll see if January 2014 can rival some of the memorable January’s of the past. Looks like it might get to off to a fast start!
Gawd. That is probably the worst music video of all time. I hope the GFS is right, and we don’t get the extreme cold the Euro has been showing. All these references to January, 1994 have me worried. That was the most extreme weather scenario I have experienced, and I’ve been through the eyewall of three major hurricanes. Busted pipes, no power at -17, ice fog, no thanks.
Happy New Year Chris and everyone on the Blog.May 2014 bring us the all elusive big one or small one right now I would take either.Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!
Well, Chris, that video was hilarious and made my night. What in the world was this group thinking. I remember the song on the radio but did not have video access growing up in SE KY- thank goodness. What is going on with the eye patch? the spinning band members apparently held on by duct tape? Yep- the models are just like that video – bizarre and unbelievable. Thanks for all you do! Happy New
Year to you and your family any everyone on the board. Now, the wainting game to see how the temps drop next week.
Happy new year everyone. Stay safe and whatever weather may come, it’s been a blast.
CB better be careful with the smack talk, or we could see a street fight like in the movie Anchorman 😉 ….. That would be cool 🙂
All in good fun. 🙂
Agreed, but now in the mood for going to see Anchorman 2 🙂
Oh my word. Never saw the video to this song before. I’m dying…..I can’t even……
The eye patch was added because Pete had a botched nose job just prior to the making of the video, and he thought adding it would detract from people seeing it.
Happy New Year to you and yours. Poor little GFS. I’m sure its doing the best it can
Great job on getting these possibilities out on the table, when nobody else was brave enough to even talk about these sever possibilities. I hope we get some heavy snow & cold weather Monday & Tuesday either way Chris I appreciate the job you do. I hope we break some snow & cold records myself here in eastern ky if so I sure know where I heard it might be possible from first even if its a very slim chance.
I just hope we get snow out of the first of the week system. I am not a fan of snowless brutal cold. Y’all don’t cheer on the GFS too much. It has yet another rain to dusting to brutal cold for south central ky. Hope it trends colder when the precip arrives.
It will be interesting to track the temperatures tomorrow. Some models have them getting into the mid 40’s even upper 40’s/low 50’s in southern KY. If they come in lower, could that be an omen for Thursday as well?
1-3 INCHES COVER THINGS PRETTY GOOD THURSDAY NITE INTO FRI MORN. now sunday Monday I think same thing figure to be good call 1-3.
Chris thank you for all the info you put out there. We at the KYDOT discuss your thoughts every morning and usually plan our days around your forecast. You may not get it right every time, but you are by far the best long range MET that we have seen. By the time Jackson NWS says it’s going to snow we usually already have an inch or two.
