As we head into the weekend, the winter storm potential is still as clear as mud. The models continue to fight more than a family arguing politics at the dinner table&#8230; And that&#8217;s saying something. Given this battle, I&#8217;m not making any changes to the Winter Storm Threat to areas of the south and southeast.<\/p>\n<p>This system hasn&#8217;t even formed yet, so the models are still struggling with how to put all the storm ingredients together.<\/p>\n<p>The two heavy hitters in the modeling world are the GFS and the European Models. They are giving only far southern and southeastern Kentucky some snow action, and it&#8217;s much lighter than the other models.

system isn&#8217;t slated to impact the region until Saturday night and Sunday, so we still have plenty of model runs to go through.<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;m hopeful we can get a little better consensus\u00a0 with the 12z model runs, but, given all the players on the weather field, that may still be pushing it.<\/li>\n<li>The farther south and southeast you live, the greater the risk of this storm impacting you.<\/li>\n<li>I will have a first call map later today, for wherever this storm ultimately decides to go.<\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s pretty cool to have a storm come from a signal I first picked up on\u00a0nearly 2 weeks ago here on KWC.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Speaking of storm signals, I&#8217;ve already been laying the ground work for the next one to potentially impact our
