Good Wednesday, everyone. It’s a much colder and drier day taking shape across the bluegrass state as our active pattern takes a short break. This little break only lasts into Thursday then returns and tries to bring Old Man Winter with it. It’s a theme similar to last year… The closer we get to spring, the more it looks like winter.<\/p>\n
Temps today range from the upper 30s to middle 40s with skies becoming partly sunny.<\/p>\n
Valentine’s Day will feature temps spiking into the 50s with clouds increasing and some showers arriving by evening. Those showers are along and ahead of a cold front dropping into the region from the northwest. The air coming in behind this front will be much colder as it sends our storm track farther south.<\/p>\n
That means the systems moving in for the weekend could put our region in the winter weather zone. The first arrives late Friday into early Saturday and may lay down a swath of accumulating snow for some. The system behind that could also bring rain and some snow by Sunday…<\/p>\n
With so many systems so close together, some fairly steep model changes are likely to show up from run to run.<\/p>\n Looking farther down the road on\u00a0the long range European through the final days of March, we find a colder than normal setup for much of the country…<\/p>\n At the same time, we see above normal precipitation in our region…<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/GFS-26.gif\")
