Good Friday afternoon everyone. It has been one cold day out there with most areas staying in the upper 20s for highs… even with sunshine. A few areas in northeastern Kentucky had  a few clouds that produced some flurries. Yes… those fell at my house.

Remember earlier this week when I was talking about how the models were going to bust on the coming cold shot that is now with us? Well… they are busting badly and as a result… those who cannot issue a forecast without copying the MOS numbers are getting their forecasts smacked down as well. USE THE RAW NUMBERS PEOPLE! It’s actually not just using the raw numbers… you have to look at the overall pattern and where the air is coming from. This is modified arctic air in here right now.

We have another arctic front moving in for the weekend. We will see the winds kick up out ahead of this front on Saturday as clouds quickly roll in. A swath of light snow will be rapidly dropping southeastward during the afternoon. Temps will initially warm to around the low 30s in most areas then quickly drop once the flakes start flying as evaporational cooling will take place. As I have mentioned times… this is a fast mover so it won’t have a lot of time do drop much snow. Here is my FIRST CALL ON SNOWFALL<\/STRONG>…



That is for each and every flake that falls from Saturday through early Sunday. I will fine tune those lines over the next 24 hours as we see how the moisture looks. Sunday is another number busting day as temps will stay in the mid and upper 20s after we start it out in the teens.

The storm or storms for next week continue to throw the models into mayhem. Pass the syrup for those waffles! I am noticing a disconnect between some of the operational model runs when you put them up against their own ensemble runs. Look at the GFS and the “mean” of several runs of the GFS known as the ensembles…

GFS TUESDAY EVENING

GFS ENSEMBLES TUESDAY EVENING<\/STRONG>


Interesting tracking days ahead of us! More on all that later tonight. Until then… have a good Friday!
