Good afternoon, everyone. Spring and winter are colliding today as we track the potential for a few strong storms and a period of light snow that follows. That pretty much sums up Kentucky weather… Don’t ya think?<\/p>\n

A system working across the area today has very mild air ahead of it and very cold air behind it. Initially, that means showers and thunderstorms breaking out ahead of it. Some of these storms can be strong or locally severe across the southeast. The SPC has a Marginal to Slight risk out for these areas…<\/p>\n

Much colder air then sweeps in this evening as temps crash from northwest to southeast. As the low strengthens into a monster to our east, it will have a period of wraparound light snows then snow showers…<\/p>\n

As temps drop into the 20s, some slick spots can develop on area roads by Thursday morning. Can we get some accumulations from this? There’s a chance to get a covering, especially on grassy and elevated surfaces.<\/p>\n

The same cannot be said for areas to our northeast. How about a road trip to the northeast?<\/p>\n

Just a few days ago, folks up there were complaining about how they hadn’t had much snow and there was no snow in sight. With an active pattern, these types of systems can blow up with just a few days notice. Let’s keep that in mind over the next few weeks.<\/p>\n

I leave you with your tracking toys for the day. Don’t forget to take the interactive radar for a ride. It has live storm chaser cams for your viewing pleasure…<\/p>\n
