Snow showers and flurries pushed across parts of the region overnight, ushering in seasonally colder temps. The temps really aren&#8217;t that bad at all for December and will be joined by some nice weather in the days ahead.<\/p>\n<p>While that&#8217;s all fine and dandy&#8230; this busy pattern is just taking a break.<\/p>\n<p>Before I get to the pattern ahead, here&#8217;s a thought about the pattern we&#8217;re in. We know it&#8217;s been much milder than normal with a very ugly pattern\u00a0for winter weather. Yet, we&#8217;ve now had snowflakes flying on 5 days out of the past 2 weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Given the tiniest chance to produce some flakes&#8230; the atmosphere has delivered. That&#8217;s probably a good sign for snow lovers as we head toward a better pattern for winter weather.<\/p>\n<p>The action kicks back in by Sunday night with a potent upper level low working across our region&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/weather.bloginky.com\/files\/2015\/12\/GFS2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10401\" src=\"http:\/\/weather.bloginky.com\/files\/2015\/12\/GFS2.png\" alt=\"GFS\" width=\"551\" height=\"292\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In a setup like this, the models in the lowest levels are going to struggle. To me, this looks like some chilly showers that could even feature some mixed precipitation for a few days.<\/p>\n<p>From there, we seeing the overall pattern making a transition toward a more winter looking setup. I posted the various Ensembles runs last night that showed the evolution of this pattern over the next few weeks. The operational run of the GFS shows something very similar&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/GFS2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16500\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/GFS2.png\" alt=\"GFS\" width=\"1024\" height=\"622\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/GFS2.png 1024w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/GFS2-300x182.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/GFS-22.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16498\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/GFS-22.png\" alt=\"GFS 2\" width=\"1024\" height=\"622\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/GFS-22.png 1024w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/GFS-22-300x182.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/GFS-3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16499\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/GFS-3.png\" alt=\"GFS 3\" width=\"1024\" height=\"622\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/GFS-3.png 1024w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/GFS-3-300x182.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I will have another update later today.
