It&#8217;s a possibility, but I can&#8217;t say it&#8217;s close to being a likelihood. The pattern has been suggesting this as a possibility for a while and the models finally started seeing the possibility a few days ago. The NAM shows the potential for a few flakes across the central and east&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/NAM-4.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-37802\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/NAM-4.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"984\" height=\"808\" \/><\/a>Again, we are talking about just a CHANCE for a few FLAKES mixing in for a brief time. Still&#8230; It&#8217;s pretty awesome to be tracking the possibility before October is finished.<\/p>\n<p>Something else that&#8217;s awesome? The temperature drop.
