Happy New Year. We have a lot of extreme winter weather to talk about over the next week and change. Wicked is the word as we roll forward.<\/p>\n

Let’s start with the Thursday snowfall. This is going to be a high impact travel event through Thursday night for the whole state. The worst of the conditions will be across central and eastern Kentucky. Here’s a quick breakdown…<\/p>\n

– The day starts with precipitation working in quickly from the west. Temps ahead of it will be above freezing but will come crashing down as the precipitation moves in. A quick burst of rain will be on the leading edge of the precip, but snow takes over quickly.<\/p>\n

– Once the main snow shield works through by late afternoon… widespread snow showers and squalls will kick in. These will producing blinding conditions at times and cause hazardous travel conditions across the region. These flakes will be arctic in nature and that means it won’t take very much moisture to produce a high ratio snow.<\/p>\n

– The latest call for snowfall has a few changes…<\/p>\n

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

– I will put out a final call later tonight. There is still the chance for this system to ramp up into a little bit more before all is said and done.<\/p>\n

– Temps will drop into the high single digits and low teens by Friday morning. Wind chills Thursday night and Friday will drop well below zero.<\/p>\n

The storm system that moves in Sunday into Monday is likely to put snow on the ground and it could be several inches. The GFS continues to trend in that direction…<\/p>\n

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

The blast of arctic air coming behind this continues to look BRUTAL. Check the numbers from the GFS for lows…<\/p>\n
