Good late Saturday afternoon, gang. Old Man Winter returned to the bluegrass state in a big way last night and that may be just the beginning. The overall setup for the next few weeks continues to feature a lot of winter and the potential for some extreme events across the eastern half of the country.<\/p>\n

I’m not going to talk you to death with this update, but I have a ton of model maps to throw your way.<\/p>\n

The first set of maps deal with a clipper working in here from late Sunday into Monday. There continues to be a slight adjustment to the south on the track of this clipper. The GFS…<\/p>\n

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

The NAM…<\/p>\n

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

While the track on both models is a bit farther south, we would still need that to drop a littler farther south for the best snows to fly across Kentucky. As of now, showers develop Sunday with a quick switch to light snow Sunday night into Monday. Some accumulation can’t be ruled out. That’s also a very windy system that blows up into a monster as it turns the corner up the east coast. We may see a blizzard develop in the northeastern part of the country.<\/p>\n

A weak system dives in behind that Monday night into Tuesday…<\/p>\n

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

That won’t show up well on the models, but you can see the NAM is spitting out a stripe of snow from working in from northwest to southeast. Those can sometimes bring sneaky snow accumulations.<\/p>\n

Things turn quiet by Wednesday before another clipper moves in late Thursday into Friday. The GFS…<\/p>\n

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

The European Model…<\/p>\n

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

That may bring another chance of showers ahead of it and light snow behind it.<\/p>\n

That leads us into the weekend and several models continue to indicate the potential for a much bigger storm system impacting our region. Here’s the GFS…<\/p>\n

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

That’s a week away and a lot can change, but the models have been showing the storm signal for several days in a row.<\/p>\n

Storm or no storm… arctic air sweeps in during this same time and that’s how we open up the month of February.<\/p>\n

I will see you guys later tonight for the full update. Wait… this one was pretty darn full. \ud83d\ude09 Take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
