Good Thursday, everyone. Arctic cold continues to take hold of the bluegrass state and much of the country. Believe it or not, things are going to get MUCH colder around here over the next week or so. Throw in the increasing potential for snow and you have a super duper wintry pattern.<\/p>\n

Some areas may see a few flakes today as a push of colder air sinks in from the northwest. Flurries will be possible across much of the region, with a band of light snow possible in the far east and southeast. Highs will generally run in the middle 30s, but gusty winds will make it feel in the 20s.<\/p>\n

Temps on Friday will be even colder with lows around 20 and highs in the low and middle 30s. Wind chill numbers may dip deep into the teens at times.<\/p>\n

Saturday starts very cold with readings in the low 20s under clear skies. Clouds will increase during the day with highs back into the mid and upper 30s. Those clouds are ahead of a weak system scooting in from the west. This will bring a band of light snow our way, but a lot of the action will dry up as it reaches the area. Still, this could be a sneaky light snow maker for some.<\/p>\n

The main system continues to come together from late Sunday into Monday. Low pressure will develop across the deep south and track through the Carolinas and up the east coast. The track and intensity of that low will determine how much of a winter weather impact we see around here. The dueling versions of the GFS continue to advertise the potential for accumulating snows.<\/p>\n

Right or wrong, you have to tip your hat to the GFS runs for being pretty consistent with the overall scenario.<\/p>\n

The European Model continues to have a few issues in resolving what to do with all the energy coming in from the southwest. It’s starting to figure things out, though. It also shows accumulating snows…<\/p>\n

\"Euro\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I think it’s later today or tonight when we see more of\u00a0a model consensus on how much, if any, snow falls where you live. Odds certainly favor some snow, but it’s too early to get more specific than that.<\/p>\n

Arctic air pours in behind that system and the models show some absurd cold for this time of year…<\/p>\n

\"GFS<\/a><\/p>\n

IF temps can get that low, records would be in jeopardy. That’s some wicked stuff showing up!<\/p>\n

I will have updates later today. Take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
