Merry Christmas Eve! Today has been one wicked weather day across Kentucky with crashing temps and high winds. The highest gust of the day was 61mph in Lewis County! Wow. Some wind damage and power outages have been reported across central and eastern Kentucky.<\/p>\n

The colder air continues to pour in with the potential for some snow flurries or snow showers tonight into Christmas Morning.<\/p>\n

The weather pattern after this continues to run on the active side as arctic air FINALLY returns to the country. It’s been absent since spending most of November in our part of the world. I admit… it’s been slower to return than I thought.<\/p>\n

The return of arctic air into the United States will then combine with a very active southern branch of the jet stream. That will lead to a lot of winter in the coming weeks. We get one system to move in here this weekend with rain Saturday into Sunday. That system may end as snow Sunday night or Monday via the Canadian Model…<\/p>\n

That same model then goes crazy with the cold to start 2015…<\/p>\n

Other models do not bring that type of cold in here that quickly. Instead, they keep a stalled out across the region and continue to spit out storm systems along it. That’s really what you want to see if you want a snowfall. Every model delivers a snowfall to our region next week, but they differ on the day it happens.<\/p>\n

The new version of the GFS says Happy New Year…<\/p>\n

The pattern next week into the first few days of January is ripe for accumulating snows around here. That’s the first time I’ve written that this season! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
