Good Sunday to one and all. Our wild weather weekend is about to end on a wintry note with a swath of accumulating snow tonight into early Monday. This should be enough to cause slick travel and lead to some cancellations and delays. Yes… this is happening two days after one of the worst tornado outbreaks to hit the state in recent memory.<\/p>\n

Much colder air is in place today and temps may not reach 40 in some areas. Clouds will increase this afternoon as a clipper dives in from the northwest. Snow ill develop along and north of the track and some of the snow could be locally heavy at times. This has the look of a 2″-4″ swath of snow… but where? The models disagree in the placement of this band…<\/p>\n

There is a slight difference in the exact track of the clipper and that small deviation can make a big difference in how much snow you get where you live. It is important to note that both models are showing 4″+ totals within the heart of the snow swath. I will have a snow forecast map out later today.<\/p>\n

This is not good news for the thousands of people who continue to pick up the pieces from the recent deadly tornadoes. Many people are without power and temperatures today are going to struggle to get to 40 in some areas and will stay in the low and mid 30s for highs Monday.<\/p>\n

Here’s the latest on the tornadoes from the various National Weather Service survey teams…<\/p>\n

The stats that really jump out at me… Two separate\u00a0160mph\u00a0tornadoes is amazing to see. The West Liberty tornado was a mile wide which was on the ground for 34 miles. The Salyersville tornado stayed on the ground for an amazing 45 miles.<\/p>\n

This outbreak was historic and will rank up there with the worst to ever hit the state of Kentucky.<\/p>\n

I will have more updates through the day. Have a great Sunday and take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
