UPDATE<\/strong><\/p>\n

I really need to stop posting before the European Model runs. The updated European has a much colder solution from tonight through Wednesday and puts down some hefty snow totals…<\/p>\n

\"Euro<\/a>That certainly makes things much more interesting. Let’s see what the models hold for later this morning.<\/p>\n

PREVIOUS UPDATE POSTED 30 MINUTES PRIOR\u00a0 TO THE ONE ABOVE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Good Monday and welcome to a busy Thanksgiving week of weather. We continue to track a developing winter storm that will have a major impact on holiday travelers across the eastern half of the country. This is going to have a sizable impact on our weather through Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Let’s start with my latest breakdown…<\/p>\n

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

Let’s start with the first batch of light snow streaking in here tonight. This will be fairly light, but may have enough juice to put down a small accumulation for some.<\/p>\n

The southern storm really begins to influence our weather on Tuesday. Precipitation will overspread the region from the south and will be in the form of a mess. A mix will turn to heavy rain across the southeast, with a mix of rain and snow into central and northern Kentucky.<\/p>\n

The change to snow will take place rapidly from west to east Tuesday afternoon and evening. A moderate to heavy band of snow will then work across central and eastern Kentucky into Tuesday night. This will likely bring accumulating snows to much of the region. Exactly how much depends on how fast this thing moves and on where you live. This could deliver a little or several inches of the white stuff. Here’s a look at the odds for just the Tuesday night snowfall…<\/p>\n

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

Areas in and near the “Likely” have a decent shot of 2″ or more of snow. I will have First Call For Snowfall coming your way around noon.<\/p>\n

On a model note… the GFS is finally coming around to what everything else has been saying for a week…<\/p>\n

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

The GFS and the NAM still have some work to do and I suspect some subtle changes will show up on them later today.<\/p>\n

It should be noted that our Hi-Res RPM model is much more robust on the snow potential…\"RPM\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Notice the widespread snow showers and squalls on Wednesday? We can easily see more accumulations from those to go along gusty winds and temps in the upper 20s. Wind chills may hit the single digits. Moral of the story… the busy travel day is likely to have some issues around here.<\/p>\n

Thanksgiving looks dry and cold with lows in the low to mid teens and highs in the low to mid 30s. Black Friday will be another cold one.<\/p>\n

On a related note… December has a chance to be a memorable winter month for much of the country. Check out how things look later in the first week of the month…<\/p>\n
