Good Saturday afternoon, gang. Our arctic front is rolling across the bluegrass state with 40mph wind gusts and snow squalls that are putting down light accumulations. Blowing snow will increase as our temperatures rapidly decrease. Wind chills go well below zero. Basically, I have no changes to the forecast for tonight and Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

Looking toward Sunday night into early next week… I have decided to go ahead and upgrade to a Winter Storm THREAT for the potential<\/strong> of 4″ or more of snow. A THREAT highlights the potential and if confidence increases… it will be upgraded to an ALERT. If confidence decreases… we would downgrade to a smaller event.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My confidence in snow for Monday is actually pretty high. The placement on where the heaviest snow will fall isn’t as high. The GFS and NAM continue to highlight western and southern parts of the region for the best chance at accumulating snow. The new European Model is in and is a big hit for the entire state…<\/p>\n

\"Euro\"<\/a>\"Euro<\/a>\u00a0 Is that right? Well, we are within 48 hours of this system happening and it does have support from the UKMET…<\/p>\n

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

So, I have seen enough to certainly warrant upgrading to a Winter Storm THREAT. As I mentioned, this could be upgraded to an Alert or downgraded depending on what I see later today and Sunday. As of now… it’s an increasing potential for a decent snowfall for, at least, parts of Kentucky.<\/p>\n

As that storm moves away… it allows for another strong arctic front to move through here on Wednesday. That looks to have a period of accumulating snow with it. The coldest air of the winter, so far, will follow this up by the middle and end of the week. This map looks very much like what we had during some of those brutally cold periods from last winter…<\/p>\n

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

\"Euro<\/a>Below zero temps are a good possibility later in the week… and on more than one day. Wind chills could be deep into the danger category. Brutal.<\/p>\n

I will update things again later this evening. Here are your squall and arctic cold tracking tools…<\/p>\n
