A very active winter pattern is kicking off across our part of the world and is threatening to lock in for the long haul.\u00a0 This pattern gets cranking this weekend as a storm system brings rain and snow to our part of the world. As a matter of fact, there&#8217;s an increasing chance for sticking snow late tonight and Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>This system rolls right on top of us tonight and then off to our northeast into Sunday. Temps ahead of this will be well into the 50s on a gusty southwesterly wind with rain increasing. MUCH colder air will quickly sweep in on the backside of the low. This will help spawn a band of snow that wraps in behind our storm. You can see that well on the European Model late tonight into Sunday morning&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Euro13.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17098\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Euro13.png\" alt=\"Euro\" width=\"563\" height=\"253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Euro13.png 563w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Euro13-300x135.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 563px) 100vw, 563px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A band like that can overachieve and is something we will need to watch for as it works out of western Kentucky into central and northern parts of the state.
