Good Thursday and Happy New Year! It’s full steam ahead into a brand new year of weather and things are starting off with a wild temp swing ahead. That temp swing will bring a lot of different weather to us in a short amount of time. For the longer haul… it’s all about the arctic cold.<\/p>\n

Today’s weather is nice with highs in the 30s and clouds on the increase. Those clouds will likely throw a wintry mix of precipitation into parts of the region later tonight into Friday. That could be in the form of some freezing rain and that could cause some travel trouble spots.<\/p>\n

The GFS shows this developing…<\/p>\n

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

I will get more specific on this later today.<\/p>\n

A big area of low pressure then swings across the region on Saturday with temps surging toward 60 degrees. Heavy rain, thunder and lightning and gusty winds will highlight the day. Check out the precipitation totals from the Gulf into the bluegrass state…<\/p>\n

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

As the low swings by to our north and northeast early Sunday, our temps will CRASH from west to east as arctic air surges in. Check out the difference…<\/p>\n

\"GFS<\/a>That’s a dramatic temp drop to go along with gusty winds and the increasing threat for snow showers or a period of light snow…<\/p>\n

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

Arctic air continues to filter in here on Monday. Look at the afternoon temps showing up on the Canadian Model…<\/p>\n

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

That’s some wicked cold showing up just to our north and west!!<\/p>\n

Another arctic boundary pushes in for Tuesday as a clipper zips across the Ohio Valley. That could bring the potential for some snow our way.<\/p>\n

The air coming in behind that looks even colder. The Canadian Model continues to go hog wild on the cold…<\/p>\n

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

I am not saying things get THAT cold, but you certainly get a good understanding on the pattern we are dealing with.<\/p>\n

I will update things later today. Have a wonderful start to the new year and take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
