<\/p>\nGood Thursday to one and all. It’s an absolutely frigid early January day across Kentucky as we await the arrival of the next winter storm. This blows in late tonight and Friday with several inches of snow across the Commonwealth.<\/p>\n
Let’s begin with the weather out there ahead of this storm.<\/p>\n
Freezing fog and frigid temps and wind chills start the day. Roads are still pretty darn messy, so stay safe if you’re out there driving early on. Some rays of sun will be noted through the afternoon as temps reach the 20s for highs.<\/p>\n
Winter Storm Warnings are likely going up today for much of Kentucky. Here’s a look at the current warnings and advisories across Kentucky and surrounding states…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Here’s a quick breakdown of this new winter storm:<\/p>\n
Here’s my New Call for Snowfall…<\/p>\n
The HRRR is pretty aggressive with our storm system. This animation starts late tonight and goes through 7pm Friday…<\/p>\n Here’s the snow forecast from that model run through 7pm Friday…<\/p>\n The NAM Fam is also pretty juiced up. The Hi Res NAM goes through 7am Saturday…<\/p>\n The NAM is even more amped up…<\/p>\n The Canadian is a little more tempered with pretty uniform snowfall numbers…<\/p>\n The GFS isn’t as amped up with this run and likely has some issues…<\/p>\n The EURO is fairly consistent…<\/p>\n Once this storm moves away, we watch a series of clippers dropping in from the northwest next week. Each of these can put down some accumulations as arctic air surges back in…<\/p>\n Temps have the chance to reach 0 or below at some point next week as this harsh winter pattern continues.<\/p>\n Temps have the chance to rebound for a day or two by late next week into the following weekend, but that’s only temporary. The signal is there for another big winter storm or two as we hit the week of the 20th with crushing arctic air likely fighting right back in. The Ensembles have a frigid signal…<\/p>\n The snow signal for the next two weeks is also very strong…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Looking longer range toward the end of January into the start of February, the EURO Weeklies continue to look pretty cold and seem to be growing colder as we get closer.<\/p>\n The final 7 days of the month are pretty darn cold…<\/p>\n While not as cold, the first week of February is still showing up colder than normal…<\/p>\n I’ll have your normal updates through the day, so check back.\u00a0Until then, I have your tracking tools including our\u00a0Kentucky Weather Cams<\/a>\u00a0to watch the flakes flying across different parts of the state\u2026<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1-MAP-10.jpg\")
