A major east coast winter storm may bring snow all the way from the southeast coast into New England. That has the potential to turn into a full blown blizzard.<\/p>\n
That’s too far east for a direct impact on our weather, but it will give us a VERY strong northwest wind by Wednesday night through Friday. Look at the flow from the NAM on Thursday morning…<\/p>\n
That amp shows the\u00a0flow right off the Great Lakes\u00a0into Kentucky\u00a0and shows the low level relative humidity. Throw in bitterly cold temperatures and you can get widespread snow showers and squalls out of that. You won’t get the models to pick up very well on that until we get closer, because there isn’t very much actual QPF involved.<\/p>\n That said, the NAM is already picking up on this for Wednesday night…<\/p>\n A potent upper level system then dives into our region by late Thursday and Friday…<\/p>\n That may very well produce another light snowfall across much of our region. With the bitter cold in place, it won’t need much moisture to produce snow.<\/p>\n Speaking of the bitter cold, temps from Thursday through Sunday continue to show up as cold or colder than right now. Wind chill numbers may actually be even lower.<\/p>\n Temps rebound some later Sunday and Monday as a storm system rolls our way. The trend toward colder is already underway on the models, with the European leading the charge…<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/NAM-19.png\")
