Good afternoon, gang. We are in the middle of one of the worst weeks of winter weather on record for the bluegrass state of Kentucky. Additional snows today are adding to a near record snowpack for many. Blowing and drifting snow is a problem, and now we have record shattering cold moving in.<\/p>\n

To make matters worse… I am likely to go with a Winter Storm Threat for the weekend. I will check over some late day data before making that call, but a nasty mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain looks to develop as early as late Friday.<\/p>\n

The NAM is rather bullish on this potential…<\/p>\n

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

One of the strengths of the NAM is the ability to pick up on low-level cold air, so that’s why you are seeing the model going with that nasty mix. We shall see how that plays out in the modelling world over the next day or so. I suspect you may see some changes show up on them as they get a better grasp on the snowpack and bitter cold air.<\/p>\n

Speaking of that bitter cold air… tonight is flat out UGLY. Lows go well below zero with wind chills off the charts cold…<\/p>\n

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

Wind Chill Warnings need to be issued for this!<\/p>\n

Friday morning actual low temps could push all time records…<\/p>\n

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

You do not want to mess around with the temps over the next few days. This is a dangerous situation!<\/p>\n

Back to the rest of today… more snow showers and squalls will be likely with additional accumulations. Eastern Kentucky can pick up several more inches on this strong northwesterly wind flow. Blow and drifting will continue.<\/p>\n

Track away…<\/p>\n
