Good afternoon, everyone. A major winter storm is set to blast the bluegrass state from Saturday night through Tuesday. This will be another high impact storm that brings significant amounts of snow, sleet and freezing rain. This may lead to additional power outages across the region.<\/p>\n

The track of the low will be key in determining just how much of each precipitation type falls for any one location. Here’s my early call rough estimate of how this works out…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Let’s cut straight to the point here, with ice still on trees and power lines and some people likely to still be without electric, this has the potential to become a serious situation. Areas getting in on heavy freezing rain could have major issues with power outages.<\/p>\n

For areas seeing all snow, it’s going to be a lot.<\/p>\n

In between the two is likely to be an area of heavy amounts of snow, sleet and freezing rain which could also cause power issues.<\/p>\n

The exact placement of the precipitation types and amounts is a work in progress.<\/p>\n

The GFS is seeing a possible shutdown storm…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Freezing rain amounts…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sleet<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Snowfall<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The NAM only goes through 7pm Monday, but appears to be in pretty good agreement with the GFS…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Canadian Model is a little colder with less freezing rain…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Following this up is another Winter Storm for late Wednesday through early Friday. The models will continue to waffle on the track and precipitation types…<\/p>\n

GFS<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Canadian<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This storm could put down another round of\u00a0 significant amounts of snow, sleet and freezing rain.<\/p>\n

I will have the very latest on WKYT starting at 4pm and with another update or two on KWC later today. Have a good one and take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
