Good Thursday, everyone. A blast of winter weather is rolling across the bluegrass state today and this will create some travel issues. Snow showers and squalls are introducing the first of several arctic air masses to influence our weather in the coming days.<\/p>\n

Light accumulations will be possible today across central and eastern Kentucky. This will be a powdery snow that will blow around with very gusty winds. Considering we are dealing with snow showers and squalls… visibilities can be greatly reduced in local areas. It’s one of those days when you get a blinding snow to a few flurries within just a few miles. Travel through early this afternoon will be tricky at times.<\/p>\n

Temps will drop into the upper teens and low 20s and then rebound a few degrees this afternoon. Gusty winds will make it feel much colder. I will have your tracking tools in a bit.<\/p>\n

A few flurries will be possible Friday as we find ourselves in between arctic fronts. That next front blows into the region Saturday afternoon and will bring more widespread snow showers and squalls that can put down\u00a0some accumulations. Gusty winds of 30mph+ will also be noted as\u00a0temps take a nosedive behind the front…<\/p>\n

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

Blowing snow is a good possibility with that type of a setup. Lows for Sunday and Monday will drop into the single digits and could flirt with zero. Below zero wind chills are a good bet at times.<\/p>\n

The models continue to advertise a winter storm from the plains states into the Ohio Valley early next week. We are now 4 days away from that storm potentially impacting the weather across Kentucky. Let me be clear… it is still too early to know what impact, if any, that storm will have on our weather.<\/p>\n

If the computer model forecasts are to be believed, this system could have a big impact around here. The GFS snowfall map…<\/p>\n

As we are fully aware, a lot can change with computer models from 4 days out. The one difference in this POSSIBLE storm and the systems we had earlier this winter is the arctic air. If this storm does develop, it would be sending moisture into an arctic air mass and it would also have another blast of arctic air coming in behind it.<\/p>\n

Again, take all model runs with a grain of salt until we get into this coming weekend. We will still get model deviations showing up from run to run and will begin to look for true model trends later Friday and Saturday.<\/p>\n

If we can get a decent snowfall out of this… look out. Temps behind that would tank and the models are going crazy with the cold…<\/p>\n

Again… IF we can get a decent snow on the ground.<\/p>\n
