Good snowy Saturday to one and all. The snows kicked into high gear late Friday evening into the overnight period laying down anywhere from an inch or two to some local three and four inch amounts. The snow squalls were intense leaving snow covered roads in their wake. Snow showers and arctic temps will be with us today as we look ahead to a very snowy period for next week.

The day starts out with a Winter Weather Advisory for parts of the state as the NWS folks were about as late in getting these out as I have seen in a while. Additional snow totals today will be on the tune of an inch or two for those getting in on a heavier squall with southeastern Kentucky being the prime candidate for that. Many roads across central and eastern parts of the state will be, at least, partially snow covered for much of the day as temps struggle to get above 20. Winds will be very gusty today making it feel like the temps are in the single digits. This is a day to just stay inside and check out the blog.

I have some tracking tools for you guys…

I am close to pulling the trigger on upgrading to a Winter Storm Threat for early next week. Things continue to be progressing toward the solution we have been talking about for a while now. My latest random thoughts…

– Low pressure will work out of Texas and head eastward toward the Georgia coast from Sunday into Monday.

– Moisture will be streaming well northward from the track of the low. Snow should break out across parts of western and southern Kentucky by Monday morning and slowly work northward during the day.

– This happens as an upper level low to our west works eastward into the Ohio Valley and acts to help pull moisture from the southern storm northwestward into it.

– A second low should be developing across the Tennessee Valley by Monday night and working into the eastern Ohio Valley by late Tuesday. This would produce another nice swath of snow across the entire region
.

– The two lows will then meet up along the mid atlantic coast by Wednesday to form a pretty big storm. Backlash snows and snow showers would then be likely around here.

– While it is still too early to really be talking totals… the thoughts that have been floating around in my mind for a few days go like this: 2″-6″ of snow from Monday through Tuesday with an additional 1″-3″ for Wednesday into early Thursday. Again… that is some VERY early thinking on my part and not even a first call.

– All models not named the GFS are now in line with the double low scenario. The European Model had been holding out… but it is now in our camp as well producing .25″ to .50″ of liquid across much of the Ohio Valley. That seems to match up well with some of the model runs we have been showing of late. The GFS Ensembles continue to show the setup we are talking about…



We will have an update on this storm coming later today so be sure to check back. Until then… have fun with today’s cold and snow.

Take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
