Good afternoon, folks.\u00a0 It’s another frigid January day across the Commonwealth as arctic air blows back in. This sets up shop for the next few days as we watch a likely light snowfall maker show up around here as early as Thursday night.<\/p>\n

This is the same system I’ve been yapping about over the past week or so. The models are still keeping this light around here with the phasing into a major east coast storm too far to our east for a biggie around here.<\/p>\n

Here’s how this thing comes together…<\/p>\n

That would then ramp up into a near blizzard across the northeastern part of the country.<\/p>\n

For us, this brings a period of light snow in here Thursday night and that continues into Friday. Northwest flow snow showers would then kick in Friday night into Saturday morning.\u00a0 This is a setup that usually puts down a 1″-3″ snowfall across central and eastern Kentucky, but can sometimes overachieve with arctic air and a stronger northwest flow.<\/p>\n

Here are the snow numbers from the models for this time. The NAM only goes through Friday evening, but it’s pretty snowy…<\/p>\n

The EURO is similar…<\/p>\n

The late day GFS is similar…<\/p>\n

Arctic air comes in behind this and may send Saturday morning temps into the single digits with wind chills going below zero.<\/p>\n

The setup for early February is likely to crank out a major Mississippi River Valley storm as we see one heck of a temperature gradient setting up across the country. There’s going to be a brief spike in temps around here ahead of this system…<\/p>\n

Arctic cold then crashes back in behind it and regains control…<\/p>\n

While a little more volatile, the setup for the next few weeks is one that can deliver snows very far south once again. The GFS Ensembles 2 week snow map…<\/p>\n

Enjoy the rest of the day and take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
