Good afternoon, everyone. Several areas picked up on some flurries and snow showers this morning. I could even see a little white in the corners of the rooftops here in Lexington this morning. Now comes a true light snowfall to much of the state this weekend.<\/p>\n

I’ve said for days this will be a Winter Weather Advisory type of an event and nothing has changed with that. The system has been pretty easy to track for those of us familiar with winter weather patterns here in the Commonwealth and surrounding states.<\/p>\n

Light snow rolls from west to east late Saturday and takes us into early Sunday with some lingering light snows in the southeast through the evening. A corridor of 1″-2″ snows will show up during this time.<\/p>\n

While the corridor of accumulating snows is fairly narrow, falling within a 150 mile or so wide radius, I feel in pretty good shape with the placement of this on my New Call for Snowfall…<\/p>\n

The latest GFS has a sharper cutoff on the southern edge of this shield than I do…<\/p>\n

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

The NAM went from totally missing this system on the last run to finding it…<\/p>\n

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

The Short Range Canadian is a bit more generous to our southern counties with coatings pretty far south…<\/p>\n

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

I really like to use the RAP short range model in the wintertime as it has done a bang up job in the past. Well, the RAP is much more generous with the swath of snow through early Sunday afternoon…<\/p>\n

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

Hmm<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wind chills tank behind this with single digit wind chills Sunday night and early Monday…<\/p>\n

I will drop by for another update later today. Until then, here are your Friday afternoon flake tracking tools\u2026<\/p>\n
