Good Friday, folks. We have a bitterly cold air mass sweeping into the region to start out the weekend. This is being introduced by a period of light snows this morning, with snow showers waiting in the wings for later today into tonight. From there, it’s all eyes on how much of an impact a developing winter storm will have on our weather.<\/p>\n
Let’s start with today and roll forward. Light snow across southern Kentucky can put down some light accumulations to start the day. After that moves away, the arctic front then drops in from the northwest with snow showers and some squalls breaking our in central and eastern Kentucky. This action can put down light accumulations into Saturday morning.<\/p>\n
Temps by tomorrow morning will drop into the high single digits to low teens. Gusty winds will make it feel MUCH colder than that. Wind chills from 0 to -10 will be likely across the state. Highs on Saturday will generally range from 15-20 with a wind chill near zero.<\/p>\n
This brings us to what you are all really here for… the potential for a winter storm to impact our region from late Sunday through Tuesday. I want to see how the early day model runs look before a full blown upgrade to a Winter Storm Threat. There’s still just enough wobble potential to keep me from pulling the trigger. This is actually very common among models in the 3-4 day window.<\/p>\n
That said… I do expect this winter storm to impact the region. I just haven’t honed in on to the exact extent.<\/p>\n
A swath of accumulating snows move across the state Sunday into Sunday night. Once into Monday, the main storm forms and likely works across the Tennessee Valley and into the Mid Atlantic states. The exact path and strength of that low determines how much snow you get where you live.<\/p>\n
The European Model gives us a very slow moving storm with a secondary system diving in behind it…<\/p>\n
