Good afternoon, everyone. It’s full steam head toward a wintry mess later tonight into Monday.\u00a0 A combination of freezing rain, sleet, snow and rain will move across Kentucky, and falling onto a frozen ground. That will create widespread travel issues.<\/p>\n

A Winter Weather Advisory is out for much of Kentucky through Monday…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For our neighbors in West Virginia… No excuse for that not to be expanded into your region. None.<\/p>\n

I’m sticking with the map I put out last night…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Even as temps hit freezing or above this afternoon, the dewpoint temps are INCREDIBLY low. Here’s the dewpoint temp for late this evening…<\/p>\n

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

As precipitation falls into that dry air, it initially evaporates and cools the temps. Readings will quickly drop below freezing. That, in conjunction with a frozen ground will make for an icy mess later tonight and Monday.<\/p>\n

Let’s look at the model trends and see what we can find.<\/p>\n

The Canadian Model continues to be the coldest, leading to much more of a front end snow signal…<\/p>\n

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

That model run has a little less ice, but is still nasty…<\/p>\n

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

The short range Canadian Model is MUCH more aggressive with the ice…<\/p>\n

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

The NAM is also very aggressive with the freezing rain, producing nearly a third of an inch of ice…<\/p>\n

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

If that verifies, some minor power problems would be noted, especially from the Lexington metro to the Louisville metro.<\/p>\n

The Hi-Res NAM isn’t quite to that extent, but it’s not too far behind…<\/p>\n

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

If you’re going to be traveling late tonight into the first half of Monday, please be aware we are likely to have a significant travel impact across the region.<\/p>\n

Looking down the road, the end of the week setup can feature temps making a run at 60 with showers and storms, followed by a major temperature drop and winter weather…<\/p>\n

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

Watch that setup!!<\/p>\n

I’ll drop back for another update later this evening. Have a great Sunday and take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
