An arctic front moves our way early next week and is likely to have low pressure along it or a series of weak lows. We&#8217;re now in the time frame where we find the models handling everything differently from run to run.<\/p>\n<p>The setup, to me, looks like rain and wind Monday into Monday night as temps spike to near 60. As the front moves through, temps tank from west to east on Tuesday as rain changes to, at least, some snow. Winds will be gusty and could reach 35mph at times. Arctic air then settles in late Tuesday into Wednesday as we watch for a weak system working in from the northwest. That could be followed up by a bigger system late next week.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned, the models look pretty different from one run to the next, so we are just taking them as snapshots&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>GFS<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/GFS-12.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-38844\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/GFS-12.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"786\" \/><\/a>Canadian<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/canadian-2.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-38843\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/canadian-2.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"786\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Euro<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Euro-3.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-38845\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Euro-3.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"984\" height=\"808\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Have no fear, the next run will have something different in terms of the evolution and precipitation coverage, type and timing.<\/p>\n<p>This continues to look like a colder than normal pattern through much of the month of December.
