Good Wednesday, everyone. A monster pattern flip continues to evolve across much of the country. This will be highlighted by massive arctic air masses invading from the north this weekend into all of next week. The cold is a given and is showing up during the period I’ve been highlighting since Christmas… The second week of January.<\/p>\n

Can we get snow from all this cold? That seems to be the million dollar question on minds across the bluegrass state.<\/p>\n

Let’s start with a system working in here for late Thursday into Friday. This is mainly a rain maker, but it could start out with some light frozen stuff in parts of the north and east. The Hi Res NAM simulated radar for Thursday night shows the freezing line hanging around as precipitation moves in…<\/p>\n

Temps quickly rise into Friday with showers taking over.<\/p>\n

From there, it’s all eyes on the weekend and another storm system rolling into this part of the world. The models are still figuring that whole thing out and will continue to do so for a few more days. The latest Canadian Model…<\/p>\n

Taken at face value, that’s rain on Saturday with a switch to a period of snow then snow showers and crashing temps on Sunday. That same model run continues to pound the cold in here on Monday…<\/p>\n

The European Model for the weekend system keeps jumping around on which low to focus all the attention on. The current solution is west of it’s earlier run…<\/p>\n

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

Face value would be rain Saturday with a period of snow and snow showers for Sunday.<\/p>\n

The same run of the European then brings a round of gusty snows for Monday as arctic air surges in…<\/p>\n

Another, more potent, arctic blast then dives in a few days later. Check out these shots with the temperature departures in Celsius…<\/p>\n

As that second blast arrives Tuesday night and Wednesday, it should be accompanied by some snows…<\/p>\n

This is one amazing pattern flip from where we were in November and December. It’s backing up my thought process on how this El Nino has no equal!<\/p>\n

For the record.. I still believe February brings our “worst of winter”.<\/p>\n

I will update things later today, so check back. Make it a great Wednesday and take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
