Good Monday, everyone. Our cold weather is about to turn absolutely frigid in the coming days as a major blast of winter engulfs the eastern half of the country. This will be complete with a historic east coast blizzard that largely bypasses the bluegrass state. Still, some snow showers and squalls develop tonight and Tuesday.<\/p>\n

We have a system rolling across Kentucky today, bringing a mainly cold rain, but a\u00a0mix of some rain and snow is possible at times…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The system moving across Kentucky will join forces with a monster of a storm off the east coast late tonight into Tuesday. Before that happens, let’s keep an eye on eastern Kentucky to see of some dynamic cooling can produce a band of wet snow this evening. Most of that will be in West Virginia, but it may be a pretty close call.<\/p>\n

From there, the monster along the east coast turns into a blizzard, shutting down the mid-atlantic to New England. This is a travel nightmare with some areas picking up close to 2 feet of wind-whipped snow.<\/p>\n

Northwesterly winds should produce some snow showers and squalls around here late tonight through Tuesday night..<\/p>\n

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

It’s possible for that to put down some light accumulations and cause slick spots across the region. Winds will be gusty and it’s going to feel frigid because it will be frigid, and not just for us…<\/p>\n

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

That’s one amazing look for the middle of March and will send below freezing temps all the way into Florida…<\/p>\n

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

For us, near record lows are possible Wednesday into Thursday. The Canadian Model continues to be the coldest of the bunch…<\/p>\n

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

Even if we add a few degrees to those numbers, that’s a big old case of OUCH! Our premature start to spring is going coming back to haunt us in a major, major way. This is some big time trouble for growers and green thumbs.<\/p>\n

Looking down the road, another system dives in here this weekend and could bring another shot of ugly…<\/p>\n

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

If we look long range, we still find the pattern skewed colder than normal over the next few weeks…<\/p>\n

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

This is the pattern I saw coming back in January when I started talking about the potential for another backloaded winter. Well, the overall pattern recognition was correct, but the timing was way off on my part. We just had a decent snow system to our south a few days ago\u00a0and now a monster blizzard is ready to shut down the big population areas of along the east coast. Seeing those close calls is frustrating from a seasonal forecasting standpoint, but what’s a friendly weatherdude to do? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I will throw you some updates later today. Make it a good one and take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
