Good Saturday and welcome to the weekend. We have a few rounds of light snow and flurries rolling across the bluegrass state over the next few days. A few areas may pick up light accumulations, but the focus quickly turns to the harsh weather coming for next week.<\/p>\n

The periods of flakes today and Sunday can lay down light totals, especially in the north. This could be enough to slicken up a few roadways, so keep that in mind if you’re traveling. I will have your tracking tools in a bit.<\/p>\n

The arctic front arriving late Monday into Tuesday continues to be on course to bring snow and bitterly cold air our way. How much snow depends on a wave of low pressure developing along the front and slowing it down. That’s a very plausible scenario, especially with a storm ahead of it forming off the east coast. The stronger that storm, the slower the front in our region, allowing for a wave to develop along it.<\/p>\n

The NAM only goes through Monday night, but is showing this scenario…<\/p>\n

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

Notice the negative tilt on the trough for Monday night…<\/p>\n

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

That’s the key to this whole thing, you want that trough to be leaning back as opposed to leaning forward. If that trough is positively tilted, you only get a band of snow right behind the front.<\/p>\n

The European Model continues to like the wave idea the NAM is showing..<\/p>\n

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

The Canadian is singing a similar tune. Also, watch the system developing behind that…<\/p>\n

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

The GFS is always the most progressive of all the models and it’s no different this go around…<\/p>\n

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

Bitterly cold temps crash in behind this system, with the absolute brutal stuff staying just north. If we can get a flatter looking polar vortex, it would allow west-east moving snow makers to cut underneath it across our region later next week.<\/p>\n

I will have updates later today. Until then, here are your tracking tools…<\/p>\n
