We continue to watch a developing storm system set to target the region over the upcoming weekend. The trend for this system is for a much greater impact in our part of the world, but this is still NOT set in stone.<\/p>\n<p>KWC continues to fight through some issues, so I can&#8217;t post images at the moment. Trust me, I&#8217;m much more frustrated than you guys are with the issues.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s start with the weak system moving in for Thursday. This is really light and will bring a touch of rain and snow our way, but this doesn&#8217;t look like a big deal.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some thoughts about the weekend setup:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There are still many unanswered questions with this whole scenario, so you guys need to know that right out of the gate.<\/li>\n<li>The time frame for this possible impact is Saturday through Monday morning.<\/li>\n<li>Energy drops from the upper Midwest southward through the Mississippi Valley Friday into Saturday.<\/li>\n<li>The end result may be two low pressure systems before one main low takes over across the Southern Appalachian Mountains or into the Mid-Atlantic States.<\/li>\n<li>The first low runs into the Tennesse Valley before giving way to the mac daddy to our east.<\/li>\n<li>That low would then rapidly strengthen as it moves northward, likely well inland along the eastern seaboard.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What does all this mean for Kentucky? That remains to be seen, but there is an increasing threat for a significant impact around here. The initial impact would start Saturday with the main impact coming Saturday night through Sunday night.<\/p>\n<p>With so many variables at play, this isn&#8217;t the slam dunk that we were looking at with last week&#8217;s storm. It won&#8217;t take much variation for this storm to go from a major hit to just a few flakes around here. Of course, the opposite is also true in that it wouldn&#8217;t take much for this to go from a few flakes to a major hit.<\/p>\n<p>We are still likely to see some hefty model swings over the next few days, so don&#8217;t freak out over any one model run. Even some trends may flip around pretty quickly as the energy for this storm isn&#8217;t fully sampled yet. The models should get that fully ingested into them over the next 24 hours.<\/p>\n<p>Since I can&#8217;t post images with this update, I&#8217;ve attached an image to the Twitter link to this post.
