The Storm Prediction Center continues to highlight the low-end risk for severe storms for much of the state today…<\/p>\n

The future radar from the Hi Res NAM shows todays showers and storms and also shows the quick transition to snow showers and a few squalls from late this evening into the overnight hours…<\/p>\n
This is a frigid weekend with arctic air pushing in Saturday night. That may bring a few snow showers with it as it unleashes wind chills that may go below zero to start Sunday. Check out the wind chill forecast from Saturday morning through Sunday morning…<\/p>\n To snow or not to snow? That is the question as we look ahead to the Sunday night through Tuesday time period. If we do snow, how much are we talking about? That’s another great question I’m still not ready to answer.<\/p>\n If you want snow around here, you cheer on the The Snow Track. Team No Snow goes for the farther south and flatter solution…<\/p>\n Unfortunately, each model continues to jump around from run to run and this may very well continue through today.<\/p>\n The trend is for a slower overall system with some light stuff trying to get into parts of the state Sunday night and Monday with a better shot later Monday and Thursday.<\/p>\n Here’s how the GFS sees things…<\/p>\n The Canadian has a similar overall look to the GFS, but has substantially more moisture\u00a0 and snow…<\/p>\n That’s a heck of a snow hit on the Canadian. 🍁❄️<\/p>\n The EURO has been the most erratic model of all the models with this system. A few days ago, it had a crushing snowstorm burying the entire state. Yesterday it lost the entire system with basically no snow for our region.<\/p>\n The latest run is closer to finding the system again, but it’s still a miss…<\/p>\n The other overseas model I look at is the UKMET and it doesn’t agree with the EURO as it continues to show snow from Texas to New England…<\/p>\n That’s based on a 10:1 ratio, btw, but that’s not the point. The point is to show how that model does have a storm, unlike the EURO.<\/p>\n While I can see how the EURO could be onto something, I suspect we see it snap back over the next few runs.<\/p>\n Bitterly cold temps will be the rule with this system, regardless of snow or no snow, though snow certainly would make it even colder.<\/p>\n Another arctic blast is likely later next week with the potential for another system… I will have your normal updates later today. Until then, I have all your storm tracking tools for the day…<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/NAM-12.gif\")
