Good Sunday, everyone. As a weak system pushes out of here early today, it’s time to turn our full attention to an action packed Thanksgiving week. We have 3 systems likely to impact our weather over the big holiday period and a couple of these will be potent. Buckle up for a wild ride that takes us into a very wintry looking setup.<\/p>\n

Speaking of wintry, a band of snow is working out of eastern Kentucky early this morning. Some light slush will show up on elevated and grassy surfaces. Here’s regional radar…<\/p>\n

After a fairly calm late Sunday into Monday, the action picks up quickly on Tuesday as storm number one moves from the plains toward the Great Lakes. That’s a monster of a storm that will drag a cold front across Kentucky, producing showers and thunderstorms to go along with gusty winds. The second system moves our way on Thanksgiving and could bring a few showers that may start out with something else. The GFS seems to be doing pretty good with both of these storms…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I mentioned the first storm is likely a big wind maker around here. The NAM is way up there with Tuesday night gusts…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The second system is mainly a shower maker, but some dry air in place could mean a touch of sleet at the onset. The GFS sees this in the west…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The rest of the Thanksgiving weekend looks to be very active and we could be talking about some issues developing. A major storm looks to develop and slowly move our way. Ahead of this, temps will spike on a strong southwesterly wind. This may put us in a severe weather risk next Saturday.\u00a0 Once the storm goes by, a MAJOR temp crash takes place and we could be talking about a light snowfall a day or two later.<\/p>\n

That storm introduces us to arctic air and more snow chances into the first week of December…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I will have updates later today, so y’all come back.<\/p>\n
