That front may not get in here until Monday afternoon with rain ahead of it and snow behind it. We&#8217;ve been talking about the wave of low pressure along the front and that still looks good. Can we get a couple of lows to actually develop along the front? That&#8217;s possible. It&#8217;s also possible to see that energy consolidate into a bigger storm system.<\/p>\n<p>For us, this continues to look like rain to snow on Monday with snow showers and flurries behind this into Tuesday as bitterly cold air pushes in. Record cold will be possible.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s how the latest GFS sees it playing out&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/GFS-14.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-38086\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/GFS-14.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"786\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Canadian&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/canadian-12.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-38087\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/canadian-12.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"984\" height=\"808\" \/><\/a>Can we get a light snowfall out of this Monday night into Tuesday? That&#8217;s possible, but not a certainty.
