Good Thursday to one and all. Our week is slowly winding down and we’re tracking a couple of systems that can bring some wintry weather to parts of the bluegrass state. The first system arrives later this evening with a glancing shot of light snow and the other may bring more of a mixed bag threat late Friday into Saturday.<\/p>\n

Let’s take them one at a time. The first system arrives in the form of a weak cold front this evening. Winds are going to gust our ahead of this bad boy and temps will spike into the 40s before it sweeps in. A band of light snow and flurries will be along and just behind the front and some of this may start out in the form of a rain shower. Here’s the GFS showing the light snow action this evening and overnight…<\/p>\n

The best chance for seeing a light accumulation will be in the\u00a0north and east overnight as temps drop into the upper teens and low 20s. We will get a better idea on how this plays out after seeing the late day radar.\u00a0You can watch it all day long by clicking on the radar tab up top.<\/p>\n

That brings us to the next system that sweeps in late Friday into Saturday. The setup with this is rather complicated as a lot of low level, cold air will be locked in just to our north. The GFS has been insistent on the potential for a HUGE temperature gradient setting up from north to south during this time. Check out what I’m talking about…<\/p>\n

The model keep showing that cold air\u00a0hanging tough as precipitation moves in. The end result\u00a0is the POTENTIAL for light ice or a mix for some areas…<\/p>\n

Here’s the\u00a0Freezing Rain Accumulation Forecast from that same run…<\/p>\n

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

Many of the other forecast models have been showing a warmer solution with the mix line being farther north. Some of them are looking a little colder as we get closer. It will be interesting to see exactly how this plays out as\u00a0none of the models do very well in handling\u00a0shallow cold air masses. I can’t endorse what the GFS is showing, but I can’t say it’s wrong either.<\/p>\n

That system pulls away to give us a decent Sunday as milder air moves in. It won’t last very long. Check out the GFS Ensembles by Monday Evening…<\/p>\n

I will have\u00a0more updates later today, so be sure to check back. Have a great Thursday and take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
