Good Sunday, folks. Our fickle winter storm is having another mood swing today, bringing another round of accumulating snow to parts of the region. While the north gets the most, a period of light snow later tonight could impact other parts of the state.<\/p>\n

Northern Kentucky continues to be in the line of fire for the possibility of a few to several more inches of snow early today. Here’s a look at the current Winter Weather Alerts for this area…<\/p>\n

We actually have the models on a similar page in showing the far northern parts of the state getting in on the early day snows, with some lighter stuff into the rest of central and eastern Kentucky later today into tonight…<\/p>\n

Hi Res NAM<\/p>\n

A few flakes are leftover on Monday with a seasonal chill taking us into the middle of the week. The next system moving in for Thursday and early Friday is a light rain maker, but it sets the stage for another monster of a storm system this weekend.<\/p>\n

That system still has a long way to go before it shows us exactly what that means for our weather, but the early signs are for rain, freezing rain, sleet and snow to go along with a huge temperature drop.<\/p>\n

This is a low forming along a modified arctic boundary sliding in from the northwest. How far south that arctic air gets before the low pops will be the deciding factor on what track the storm takes.<\/p>\n

The models all have a big storm with every form of precipitation for Kentucky…<\/p>\n

That’s a heck of a look for a wild storm system in our region and may be one of several hefty systems to impact us over the next few weeks, at least.<\/p>\n

The GFS Ensembles snow forecast for the next 2 weeks is not holding back…<\/p>\n

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

That’s the average of 21 different runs.<\/p>\n

Temperatures may also be going to the extreme across much of the country. Look at these\u00a0 departures…<\/p>\n

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

That’s some crazy cold and it’s echoed by the average of the 21 member GFS Ensembles…<\/p>\n

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

Remember, those are in Celsius and not Fahrenheit.<\/p>\n

This pattern isn’t going to mess around and could wind up to be a memorable one for much of the country.<\/p>\n

I will hook you up with updates later today, so check back. Until then, here are your early Sunday snow and rain tracking tools…<\/p>\n

Until then, track away\u2026<\/p>\n
