<\/p>\nGood Friday, folks. We are rolling our way into the New Year’s Weekend with snow showers and flurries flying across the region. As this moves away, another system moves in with a mix of some rain and snow as we shut the door on 2016. It’s the start of 2017 that keeps looking more and more interesting.<\/p>\n
Today’s snow showers and flurries can put down some light accumulations this morning. With temps below freezing, some slick spots may even develop on roads.<\/p>\n

The system moving in here for New Year’s Eve keeps looking like a light mix of rain and some snow…<\/p>\n
Another system moves through here on Monday with gusty winds and the chance for some thunderstorms.<\/p>\n From there, we watch an arctic front sweeping in here by Wednesday. That should produce a band of light snow and flurries behind it, but the real story tries to come right after that.<\/p>\n The setup continues to see major blocking going up over the top of a DEEP trough going coast to coast across the country…<\/p>\n It’s interesting to look at the 21 members of the GFS Ensembles to see how they all have this setup, but differ on placement…<\/p>\n![\"nam\"](\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/NAM-27.png\")

<\/a>That setup will feature an active southern storm track that can bring some significant winter weather to parts of the Ohio Valley, Tennessee Valley\u00a0 and Mid-Atlantic states. Placement of the axis of winter weather will be different on each model and each model run.<\/p>\n
