Good Thursday, folks. We have a very wild weekend of weather taking shape across our part of the world. A potent storm system will likely bring record warmth and a big blast of winds our way. It’s a pattern that doesn’t look very much like December, but December signs are showing up later next week and beyond.<\/p>\n

Before we get to the weekend, we have some very mild weather to close out the week. Temps today will generally hit the low 60s with a mix of sun and clouds.\u00a0 There’s the smallest\u00a0shower chance.\u00a0As the real deal warm air moves in Friday, clouds and a better chance for showers will be with us.<\/p>\n

Highs this weekend will likely flirt with 70 degrees across much of Kentucky. A few spots could even be warmer than that. Record highs are almost a certainty at this point.<\/p>\n

70s in December aren’t as rare as you think. This would make the 6th December out of the last 10 to feature 70 degree temps in Kentucky.<\/p>\n

With the storm system rolling in later Sunday into Monday, high winds are likely to become a big issue…<\/p>\n

\"GFS\"<\/a>Gusts from 40mph to 50mph will be possible during this time. A line of “low-topped” showers and thunderstorms will race eastward as the storm system works across our region. A few strong storms are a possibility and that’s something to watch for.<\/p>\n

Another system shows up on the scene by next Wednesday and Thursday. This one has much more of a wintertime air mass coming in behind it. Several models continue to develop some kind of winter weather maker along this boundary. Here’s the GFS…<\/p>\n

The Canadian at roughly the same time…<\/p>\n

Looking farther down the road, there is still hope for some\u00a0more winter weather before Christmas. The European Ensembles snowfall forecast through Christmas Eve…<\/p>\n

\"Euro<\/a>I’m sure the look of that will change with the next run, but it keeps hope alive. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

The new CFS Ensembles snowfall forecast through the middle of January shows winter kicking into high gear later this month into the first half of January…<\/p>\n

\"CFS\"<\/a>That would certainly match some of those computer generated analog years I posted a few updates ago. Regardless… it’s still just something fun for us to look at.<\/p>\n

I will have another update later today. Enjoy your Thursday and take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
