<\/p>\nGood evening, folks. Winter is back in the bluegrass state with rain showers changing to snow showers this evening. This sets the stage for rounds of light snows the next several days, with some accumulation a good bet. This may wind up as the appetizer to a bigger system impacting the region this weekend.<\/p>\n
A touch of sleet is joining the rain and snow showers crossing the state this evening…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A cold northwest flow usually delivers snow showers to our region and that can increase if you have some embedded disturbances in that flow. That’s exactly what we have from alter Tuesday into Wednesday. That should be able to put down some light accumulating snows. Many areas can pick up a coating to 1″, with local 1″-2″ amounts possible in the east.<\/p>\n
The models continue to grow a little more enthusiastic about the light snows…<\/p>\n

Hi Res NAM<\/p>\n Again, the best chance to put light snow on the ground is Tuesday night.<\/p>\n Another system is expected to move in here by late Thursday into Thursday night. Rain and snow develops and It could be another light snowfall showing up for some…<\/p>\n That brings us to the potential winter storm\u00a0that could impact our weather this weekend. Let me say this is NOT even close to being set in stone, but the potential is certainly there.\u00a0The models are showing a little better agreement, but still have some work to do.<\/p>\n The new version of the GFS continues to lay a smackdown on the region…<\/p>\n I’ve been talking about how the current version of the GFS has a bias of being too flat and too far east and south. Well, the late day run certainly shed that bias…<\/p>\n The European Model still has some feedback issues at the start of the storm, but it’s starting to shed those, too. Here’s the swath of snow from the latest run…<\/p>\n If we look at the average of the 51 member European Ensembles, you see a more consistent swath of snow across the state…<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/NAM-3.png\")
