<\/p>\nGood Sunday afternoon, everyone. The weather continues to be on the extreme side of the spectrum and that’s a trend that continues for the week ahead and beyond. Snow blankets parts of northern and northeastern Kentucky on this Saint Patrick’s Day. Some spots have picked up 6″ of the white stuff and could push 8″. Wow!<\/p>\n
While we watch the snow continue into the evening in the north, we begin to turn our attention toward the possibility of strong and severe thunderstorms. The Storm Prediction Center has placed far western Kentucky in the slight risk area into tonight…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
That risk area gets pushed into central and eastern Kentucky on Monday…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Damaging winds and hail are the main players.<\/p>\n
Temps will rise all night long and may spike into the 60s on Monday. That all changes as a powerful cold front moves in from the west. Highs by Tuesday will be in the upper 30s and lower 40s as a major cold snap kicks back in. This cold air is likely to bring additional snow chances back into the region.<\/p>\n
The first comes on Tuesday night and Wednesday. The NAM is trying to put down some light accumulation…<\/p>\n
The may set the stage for a bigger storm by the end of the week. The Canadian model…<\/p>\n The GFS Ensembles have a pretty good signal for a big storm…<\/p>\n![\"NAM](\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/NAM-12.png\")

<\/a>This may go down as one of the coldest months of March on record. One year ago… we had the warmest March ever recorded in many cities. Extreme is the new normal.<\/p>\n
