Good afternoon, folks. Our arctic front continues to race into the region, bringing a major drop in temps, with the first light snowfall of the cold weather season behind it. This won’t be a lot of snow, but it’s not bad considering it’s the first one and it’s coming in early November.<\/p>\n

A Winter Weather Advisory is out for much of Kentucky, but the NWS decided to skip several counties for some strange reason. How is anyone supposed to convey a consistent public message with this kind of a map?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hopefully, they do the right thing and include the entire state in the advisory. This isn’t a monster event by any means, but it’s the first of the season, its happening as arctic air surges in, freezing up some roads and it’s still only early November. Plus, low end events seem to bring about some of the worst in road conditions.<\/p>\n

I’ve also talked about the plume of snow showers coming from Lake Michigan early Tuesday. The GFS shows this perfectly…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I’m going to continue to roll with the First Call map with a general coating-2″ for the entire region…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Slick roads may develop as temps crash below freezing. This will likely lead to some delays and cancellations on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

I will have the latest on WKYT-TV starting at 4pm and with another update here on KWC this evening. With the first of many times this upcoming winter, I leave you with the infamous winter weather tracking toys…<\/p>\n
