Good Friday, folks. Our big weekend storm is about to blast the bluegrass state with everything from strong storms to a few snowflakes. A wicked temperature and high winds will also accompany this potent setup. Moral of the story… Buckle up. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Winds today increase as temps climb into the 50s. Those numbers keep climbing later tonight into Saturday, reaching the 60s in many areas. This is ahead of a POWERFUL cold front sweeping eastward across the state. This will bring a line of strong thunderstorms through here…<\/p>\n

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

Some of the storms may try to go severe, with damaging winds the main threat. The Storm Prediction Center has the area in a small severe risk…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

With or without thunderstorms, the winds are going to CRANK. Gusts of 50mph or greater will be likely from late tonight through Saturday. Check out the gusts by Saturday morning…<\/p>\n

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

Even northwesterly winds behind the front on Saturday evening try to gust close to 50mph on the Hi Res Nam…<\/p>\n

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

Cold air is crashing in during this time and the NAM family keeps trying to mix a little snow in with the rain. Here’s the regular run of the NAM…<\/p>\n

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

The Hi Res NAM shows more of a comma head of wraparound snows reaching into northern Kentucky…<\/p>\n

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

That may be a little too aggressive with the wraparound, but it’s interesting to see it ramping that up as we get closer.<\/p>\n

Northwesterly winds are going to crank on Sunday, and today may have been a warning shot on what to expect. You often hear me say to never underestimate\u00a0a northwest wind in the cold months. I didn’t follow my own rule on Thursday and that northwest wind kept our temps in the 30s with lots of clouds.<\/p>\n

Well, the northwest wind on Sunday is even colder and stronger. This will likely give us lots of clouds and some snowflakes flying around, especially in the east….<\/p>\n

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

Temps stay in the low and mid 30s, but those gusty winds make it feel like we are in the 20s. Lows by Monday morning head toward 20 with wind chills even colder.<\/p>\n

Another cold shot is on the way by Thanksgiving, with a second one arriving sometime later in the holiday weekend…<\/p>\n

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

The European Model is coming back around in showing the cold again by the weekend…<\/p>\n

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

That’s actually very close to developing a big winter event in the east. We will go more into all that after we get past the big storm system of the weekend.<\/p>\n

I will have additional updates on our weekend storm coming your way later today. Make it a good one and take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
