Good afternoon, everyone. Our Winter Storm THREAT continues for Sunday and Monday. Snow develops from west to east on Valentine’s Day and continues through Sunday night. From there, we wait to see what happens with the Monday-Tuesday part of the storm.<\/p>\n

Confidence is high with the Sunday-Sunday night portion of this winter storm. A few to several inches of snow will be likely across Kentucky. Here’s my new call for snowfall and it’s similar to the calls I had out Friday on WKYT-TV…<\/p>\n

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

This is a healthy snow for the entire state with an area that can find totals nearing half a foot. Keep in mind… that’s just through Sunday night. Given my thoughts, I think a Winter Storm Watch should be up for parts of the area…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The latest NAM snowfall forecast looks similar to my snow map…<\/p>\n

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

The NAM and European Model have been the steadiest of the bunch in recent days. That trend continues. Here’s the European for tomorrow and tomorrow night…<\/p>\n

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

The same run of the European Model for Monday into early Tuesday ramps up the low across the eastern Tennessee Valley…<\/p>\n

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

While the model does suggest rain for a time on Monday(especially south and southeast), as the low gets cranking, it drops temps in the heavy band of precipitation. That would indicate a swath of heavy snow somewhere on the backside of that low. You can see where that run thinks it sets up on the WeatherBELL map…<\/p>\n

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

In a setup like this for Monday, it’s really either snow or rain or a mix of the two. Ice is not a big concern I have, nor does it show up on the models.<\/p>\n

I’m still not confident on how Monday and Tuesday play out… hence why I only gave a snow forecast through Sunday night.<\/p>\n

Then I see this from the UKMET for late Monday and Tuesday…<\/p>\n

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

I will have another update later this evening. Until then, it’s another helping of your friendly weather trackers…<\/p>\n
