Many of them bring it in here as early as Wednesday night.

That&#8217;s also a lot of wind and a heck of an arctic blast into Friday.<\/p>\n<p>The European Model is a bit stronger with the lead low, but has a similar idea&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Euro16.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8499\" alt=\"Euro\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Euro16.png\" width=\"544\" height=\"547\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Euro16.png 544w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Euro16-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Euro16-298x300.png 298w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 544px) 100vw, 544px\" \/><\/a>If this system works like the above models suggest&#8230; accumulating snow would be a good possibility Thursday into Thursday night. I don&#8217;t think it would be anything more than a couple inches tops, unless the lead low comes a tad farther south. That&#8217;s still a possibility and one we will keep a close eye on.<\/p>\n<p>There will be no rest in tracking systems as a significant blast of arctic air surges our way by late next weekend into the following week. This can develop another big system that will likely impact our weather. The models actually agree on the evolution of this setup&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Euro-27.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8500\" alt=\"Euro 2\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Euro-27.png\" width=\"474\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Euro-27.png 474w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Euro-27-300x220.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is the blast I have been talking about for more than a week.
