Good evening, everyone. Snow continues to SLOWLY wind down across central and eastern Kentucky, with a frigid night settling in behind it.\u00a0As this happens, we will quickly turn our attention toward another possible winter storm impacting the region on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Before we get to that, let’s track what’s left of the current winter storm…<\/p>\n

Lows tonight drop deep into the upper teens and low 20s in many areas, with gusty winds making it feel a lot colder. The rest of Thursday looks good with plenty of sunshine and temps hitting the 40s across the central and east. 60 is possible in the far west.<\/p>\n

Clouds increase on Friday, ahead of a potent system diving in from the northwest. This has a MEGA temp gradient to work with and that means it will produce a ton of precipitation. We’re likely to see a swath of VERY heavy snow setting up near or on top of northern and northeastern Kentucky.<\/p>\n

The European Model has a crusher…<\/p>\n

It is backed up by the average of the 51 member European Ensembles…<\/p>\n

The GFS Ensembles show the same track for heavy snow…<\/p>\n
