Good afternoon, everyone. The phrase “bitterly cold” doesn’t really capture the depth of just how cold it was across the state this morning.\u00a0 Temperatures hit below zero in just about every county in the state. Take a look at the Kentucky Meonet low temps…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

That’s absolutely astounding, considering many of us do not have snow on the ground. Wind chills were much colder than that, pushing -10 to -20 at times in some areas. The NWS in Wilmington, Ohio finally issued a Wind Chill Advisory around 3:30 this morning, hours and hours after their readings had been well below the criteria. Serving the needs of the people and twitter\u00a0trolling do not mix, folks.<\/p>\n

Lows tonight won’t be as cold, but many areas should still hit the single digits, especially in the north.<\/p>\n

A MAJOR winter storm will hit the southeast on Wednesday, rolling up the east coast as a blizzard for Thursday and Friday. How about snow from Florida to Maine….<\/p>\n

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

Northwesterly winds will crank around here Wednesday night into Thursday, as arctic air dives into the region. That wind will produce some snow showers, especially across central and eastern parts of the state…<\/p>\n

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

Some light accumulations will be possible, especially in the east. These snow showers will also be accompanied by another blast of bitterly cold temps. Lows by Thursday morning are deep into the single digits, with below zero wind chills again…<\/p>\n

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

Similar conditions will be noted for Friday and Saturday mornings, but we will also need to watch for a potent upper level disturbance to swing across the state…<\/p>\n

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

That can be a light snow and flurry maker to start the weekend.<\/p>\n

We need to watch the late Sunday-Monday period for a messy situation possibly developing. The models are going to overestimate temperatures as precipitation is moving in. A mix and rain will be possible, but it will all be falling on a frozen ground and roads. Similar situations in the past have produced some icing on roads, and we will really need to be on guard for that.<\/p>\n

Bitterly cold air will follow that up by Tuesday, with a few snow systems waiting in the wings.<\/p>\n

I will have an update on WKYT starting at 4pm and will put out another update here later this evening. Make it a good one and take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
