- \n
- Temps crash from west to east late this evening through Thursday Thursday.<\/li>\n
- As this happens, freezing rain and sleet show up just behind a slow-moving front with the first round into western Kentucky by late this evening.<\/li>\n
- That slowly sinks toward the south and east overnight into Thursday.<\/li>\n
- A large chunk of the state is likely to get in on an out and out ice storm. Amounts of .25″-.75″ may be common with the chance for locally higher amounts.<\/li>\n
- Those kinds of totals can lead to power outages and tree damage.<\/li>\n
- Sleet may really add up for some parts of the north. Sleet is better than freezing rain as it doesn\u2019t stick to power lines.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
SNOW<\/h1>\n
- \n
- Much of the snow associated with this system is likely to our west and northwest.<\/li>\n
- That doesn’t mean we get shut out of snow. Areas of northern Kentucky can pick up on a few inches of snow.<\/li>\n
- Lighter snows can fall farther south late Thursday night and Friday. Light accumulations will then be possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
TEMPS<\/h1>\n
- \n
- Readings spike into the 50s ahead of the front.<\/li>\n
- A 20-30 degree temp drop in an hour or two is likely when the front moves through Thursday.<\/li>\n
- The temp map late tonight and early Thursday may feature a more than 30 degree difference from west-east across the state.<\/li>\n
- Lows by Saturday morning can reach the single digits once again. Can we go below zero? There’s a chance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
FLOODING<\/h1>\n
- \n
- Heavy rain is likely to fall across much of the state through Thursday.<\/li>\n
- A general 1\u2033-3\u2033 will be possible with locally higher amounts.<\/li>\n
- Flash flooding and general flooding will both be possible on, at least, a local scale.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Here’s a look at my latest (11pm Tuesday evening) Call For Ice\/Seet\/Snow…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There is a real chance I have to increase some of those numbers with updates later today.<\/p>\n
The EURO is showing a devastating hit…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The GFS continues to be the most consistent model and it matches up well with my map from above…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I will have updates later today and have the latest on WKYT-TV starting at 4pm. Until then, here are your radars to track today’s rain and the transition to winter just to the west…<\/p>\n
