Good afternoon, folks. Colder winds are now blowing across the bluegrass state as temps crash from west to east. The seasonal cold over the next few days is just the opening act to the return of winter. Things get cranking early next week with bitter cold and snows on the move.<\/p>\n

For the past week, I’ve been highlighting the period of February 7th-11th for harsh winter weather to return to our region and the eastern part of the country. The upper air charts have been all over this, and continue to be. You cannot get a trough of this depth without some harsh stuff…<\/p>\n

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

The surface charts are slowly catching on to all this. The latest GFS suggests waves of windy snows as bitterly cold air sweeps in here. The below maps are from Monday through Wednesday…<\/p>\n

With such cold temperatures, it doesn’t take much moisture to produce snow, and those temps are brutal. Over the course of 3 days, that’s a setup that can potentially deliver a few to\u00a0several inches of snow in some areas.<\/p>\n

There’s a good chance we are looking at some snow days next week. Hear that teachers and kiddos? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Lows from the GFS with clouds and flakes…<\/p>\n

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

There’s another surge of arctic air that may follow that up by next weekend with\u00a0an interesting possibilities showing up coming out of the southern branch around the same time.<\/p>\n

I will have another update later today. Make it a good one and take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
