Good evening, everyone. Our first winter storm is about ready to push into western Kentucky and will drop a light to moderate snowfall across the state. This will be followed up by a bigger storm coming in Thursday night through early Saturday.<\/p>\n

A Winter Storm Warning is now out for western Kentucky into south central areas. A Winter Weather Advisory is out for the rest of the state through Wednesday…<\/p>\n

The latest snowfall forecast from the GFS drops a heavy snow hammer across the west…<\/p>\n

This is the same area the WPC shows has the best chance for 4″ or more of snow…<\/p>\n

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

Snow covered roads are a good bet across the entire area from late tonight through Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Our next storm system is taking on a colder look for Thursday night and Friday. The trend of today’s models has been for one low to work into east Tennessee before the bigger storm cranks in the Carolinas.<\/p>\n

The WPC is highlighting much of the region for significant snows on Friday…<\/p>\n

The usual discrepancies are showing up among the computer models. They often change a bit from run to run and certainly from model to model.<\/p>\n

That’s very evident in looking at the NAM and GFS…<\/p>\n

As you are well aware, all of these maps are forecasts from computer models and not from me. I hope to have a first call map out for this wind driven winter storm later tonight or early Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Until then, let’s track the snow in from the west…<\/p>\n
