<\/p>\nGood afternoon, everyone. A powerful winter storm is ready to blast the bluegrass state with significant amounts of snow, sleet and freezing rain. This is going to cause all kinds of problems over the next few days. This is our winter storm ALERT. A Winter Storm THEAT is now out for the next storm moving in Wednesday-Friday. That is also likely to bring significant amounts of snow, sleet and freezing rain.<\/p>\n
Overall, the next several days may rival some of the worst periods of winter on record around here.<\/p>\n
Here’s a look at the current Winter Weather Alerts:<\/p>\n
The main headlines with this storm remain the same:<\/p>\n
This comes at us in two waves with the lighter wave tonight and Monday morning. The heaviest wave arrives Monday afternoon through Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n
As I continue to hone in on where the precipitation types set up, it’s still a work in progress. Eastern and, especially southeastern Kentucky should prepare for an ice storm. Areas of central and western Kentucky should prepare for a snowstorm. The buffer zone in between is where the battle is going to show up with all precipitation types. Does any one particular type win the battle? Do they share the stage equally? I can’t answer that at this point.<\/p>\n
Given the question marks with the buffer zone, I’ve made a few changes with the NEW CALL FOR ICE AND SNOWFALL. This map is still very much a work in progress…<\/p>\n
No one wants any kind of ice. No one. Here’s hoping the sleet and snow signatures win the battle. Eastern and southeastern Kentucky could be in for a major ice hit, so prepare now.\u00a0 Even areas where it’s snow could be talking about power problems because of the ice still on the trees and power lines.<\/p>\n Let’s take a look at the latest models that show the crazy battle zone well…<\/p>\n EURO SNOW<\/p>\n EURO SLEET<\/p>\n EURO FREEZING RAIN<\/p>\n GFS SNOW<\/p>\n GFS SLEET<\/p>\n GFS FREEZING RAIN<\/p>\n CANADIAN SNOW<\/p>\n CANADIAN SLEET<\/p>\n CANADIAN FREEZING RAIN<\/p>\n SHORT RANGE CANADIAN SNOW<\/p>\n CANADIAN SLEET<\/p>\n SHORT RANGE CANADIAN FREEZING RAIN<\/p>\n The NAM is the farthest west of all the models, but it has a history of overdoing warm air advection which pushes it all west…<\/p>\n NAM SNOW<\/p>\n NAM SLEET<\/p>\n NAM FREEZING RAIN<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/SPECIAL-MAP-7.png\")
