Good Monday, everyone. Bitterly cold air is starting off a wicked week of winter weather across our part of the world. We have two snow systems on the way this week, with the potential for a decent sized storm to impact our region by Friday. Let’s get into it.<\/p>\n

Temps to start the day are near zero with wind chills approaching -10 for some areas. This is dangerously cold air and similar numbers will show up Tuesday morning. In between, highs will only reach the teens today.<\/p>\n

This brings us to our first snow maker that arrives late Tuesday night into Wednesday. I will have a first call map out for this one later today. The models continue to show a nice snow event with this system for much of the region.<\/p>\n

The Canadian…<\/p>\n

You will notice how the snow begins to fade a bit as it moves into eastern Kentucky. My initial thoughts on snowfall from this is a widespread 1″-3″ with some 4″ amounts possible somewhere in the west or central parts of the state. I hope to get the first call map out this afternoon.<\/p>\n

The next storm is loaded with moisture and the models are surprisingly in decent agreement to start the week. Here’s the GFS from Thursday night through Saturday…<\/p>\n

The Canadian (different site and color codes)\u00a0is very, very similar…<\/p>\n

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

Both take one low into east Tennessee before transferring the energy into a monster storm along the east coast. Taken verbatim, both models indicate some rain, ice and a lot of snow for our region. They are also VERY windy looking.<\/p>\n

The European Model is just a bit south from it’s earlier run…<\/p>\n

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

That southward trend bears watching in the coming days. If there is a way for this system to have little impact on our weather… it would be by going too far south. I don’t think that happens at this point.<\/p>\n

Let me stress something… these are computer forecast models that change from run to run. They are not a forecast from me! I know we live in the social media age where people share things without telling the full story. That’s the world we live in, but I’m not going to appoint myself as the facebook police. Other weather people get way to invested in worrying about what social media or everyone else is saying. I don’t have time for that… I’m too busy actually doing my job in tracking the weather and giving you guys a look at all the tools we use. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I will have updates through the day, so check back. Your temp tracker for the biter cold…<\/p>\n
