Good Friday and welcome to the frozen tundra of Kentucky.\u00a0 A serious blast of arctic air invaded the state with a bang last night. Thundersnow was reported in many areas of central and eastern Kentucky as our mini blizzard worked through here. A general 1″-3″ (locally higher for some in the east ) of snow caused roads to become snow covered and they remain so early this morning.<\/p>\n

The big story of today is the arctic wind and cold. But, the story of the weekend will be additional snow makers dropping in from the northwest.<\/p>\n

Let’s break it down…<\/p>\n

– Temps this morning will start out in the high single digits and low teens. Wind chills will be 0 to -10 and that’s in the danger category.<\/p>\n

– A few snow showers and flurries will be possible today as highs reach the upper teens and low 20s. It will never feel that warm because of the gusty winds.<\/p>\n

– A clipper moves in on Saturday and this is likely to bring a swath of light snow back into central and eastern parts of the state. A second system dives in for Sunday and will bring another round of snow into the same areas. Combine those two systems with a strong northwesterly wind flow and you can get several inches of snow for some areas.<\/p>\n

– The GFS snowfall map through Sunday night shows the concern…<\/p>\n

\"GFS\"<\/a><\/p>\n

– I’m not going to sit here and be wishy-washy… a strong northwesterly wind flow combining with a couple of systems can produce those types of snow totals.<\/p>\n

– The pattern into the first half of next week looks to feature another clipper or two.<\/p>\n

I will update the weekend snow chances in greater detail coming later today. Make it a great start to February and take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
