Arctic cold gives way to increasing clouds and a rise in temps late Friday. As precip moves in, we have to watch for a wintry mix before going to rain.<\/p>\n<p>That rain continues into Saturday with some thunderstorms possible. Winds will be very gusty and could reach 40mph at times through early Sunday. Temps also spike into the 60-65 degree range Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>The arctic cold quickly moves in and drops temps 30-40 degrees in a matter of hours. That sets the stage for a mix of sleet, freezing rain and snow early Sunday. The models are in pretty good agreement with this scenario&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>NAM<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/?attachment_id=21279\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-21279\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21279\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/NAM.gif\" alt=\"nam\" width=\"1024\" height=\"786\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>GFS Parallel<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/?attachment_id=21277\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-21277\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21277\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/GFS-6.gif\" alt=\"gfs\" width=\"1024\" height=\"786\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Canadian<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/?attachment_id=21275\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-21275\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21275\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/canadian-10.gif\" alt=\"canadian\" width=\"1024\" height=\"786\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That deep snow pack to our northwest will do a number on temps Sunday night into Monday morning&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/?attachment_id=21276\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-21276\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21276\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Canadian-20.png\" alt=\"canadian\" width=\"663\" height=\"446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Canadian-20.png 663w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Canadian-20-300x202.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 663px) 100vw, 663px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I will see you guys for another update later today.
