<\/p>\nGood evening, folks. Our active pattern is about ready to really flex on us starting Friday and taking us through the weekend and into next week. Everything from strong thunderstorms and high winds to snow and arctic cold are on the weather menu.<\/p>\n
Let’s start with Friday and what may also become a low-end severe storms threat. What? Yep, you ready that correctly. With this low spinning just to our west, we find a narrow corridor for some severe storms with damaging winds to go up. Because of this, the Storm Prediction Center even has a Marginal Risk for severe storms…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With our without severe storms, damaging winds are possible with gusts that will likely top 50mph at times. The latest models are showing highest wind gusts they’ve had since March 3rd of last year…<\/p>\n
The HRRR only goes through 1pm Friday, but you can see two lines of thunderstorms that may cause some issues. The first gets east of Interstate 65 by 1pm with the second line spinning right behind it…<\/p>\n That second line is the one to watch.<\/p>\n The Hi Res NAM shows a similar look, but goes all the way out to 1am Saturday. You can see the wraparound snow showers kicking in by late Friday evening…<\/p>\n Those wraparound light snow and snow showers will be noted into Saturday.<\/p>\n In terms of the Sunday\/Monday system, we are in the time period where the models like to lose a system before bringing it back a day or two before. Both the GFS and EURO offer up lighter solutions with a more strung out system…<\/p>\n GFS<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/nam-15.png\")
