Flooding continues to be a concern along some of the rivers and bigger streams, but the focus is now fully on a developing winter storm. This will impact parts of Kentucky and, given the latest model trends, we are going straight to a Winter Storm THREAT for the southeast.<\/p>\n<p>The THREAT is for the potential for 4&#8243; or more of snow. If my confidence increases today, I will upgrade this to a Winter Storm ALERT and I suspect that will be the case.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some headlines:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A cold front is working through the region today with much colder air crashing in behind it.<\/li>\n<li>Areas of eastern Kentucky will likely be in the 50s early today before the numbers tank later this afternoon.<\/li>\n<li>A band of light rain and light snow develops across western Tennessee and Kentucky this morning, and this expands eastward.<\/li>\n<li>The exact track of the low is the determining factor on how much snow falls and exactly where this happens.<\/li>\n<li>The best chance for accumulating snow is across the south and southeast.<\/li>\n<li>Accumulating snows will fall all the way into the deep south as this turns into a major snowstorm through the Mid-Atlantic states.<\/li>\n<li>Much of the accumulating snows in Kentucky will be on grassy and elevated surfaces as snowfall rates fight a warm and wet ground. Snowfall rates will always win the battle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>My first First Call For Snowfall of the season is here&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Special-Graphic-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-52543\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Special-Graphic-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"961\" height=\"578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Special-Graphic-1.png 961w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Special-Graphic-1-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Special-Graphic-1-768x462.png 768w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Special-Graphic-1-627x376.png 627w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Special-Graphic-1-440x264.png 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 961px) 100vw, 961px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is a conservative forecast based on the latest guidance, but I have a few more updates to go through later today before we get to the Last Call.<\/p>\n<p>The HRRR was the most aggressive model out of the gate, but now it has friends.
