Good evening, folks. I wanted to drop by for a quick update on where things stand with our upcoming winter weather. The afternoon model runs have shown no real changes to what they have been showing over the past few days.<\/p>\n

The first system slides in here Wednesday as a snow maker. Western and southern parts of the state continue to look like the bullseye for the heaviest band of snow. My map from earlier still looks good, but I will make some changes later tonight.<\/p>\n

The WPC is showing a slight risk for 4″+ snows across central and western Kentucky…<\/p>\n

The developing winter storm threat for later this week continues to show up strongly on the computer forecast models. Look at this monster on the European Model…<\/p>\n

Friday Morning-Saturday Morning<\/p>\n

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

That’s a lot of wind with that system!!<\/p>\n

Here’s the snowfall map from the same run…<\/p>\n

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

The European Ensembles Average of 51 members…<\/p>\n

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

The late day GFS held serve with a similar setup to what it’s been showing…<\/p>\n

\"GFS\"At the very start of the precipitation Thursday night and Friday morning, the models are hinting at Freezing rain and sleet before going to heavy snow. The GFS freezing rain accumulation map for Friday morning…<\/p>\n

\"GFS<\/p>\n

Let’s pretend for a second that is real… Throw snow on top of that with 30mph winds and that’s nasty.<\/p>\n

The GFS and European Model are also showing a night of bitterly cold temps to follow Saturday night…<\/p>\n

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

You would have to get a snow\/ice pack for those numbers to happen.<\/p>\n

Let me be clear… this possible winter storm is NOT set in stone by any means. I’m sharing computer model forecasts with you guys because that’s what we do here. The threat for a major winter storm impacting our region is certainly there and we need to pay close attention to how this evolves over the next few days.<\/p>\n

I will update things later tonight. Stay warm and take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
