Good Wednesday, folks.\u00a0 We’re about to move out of the deep freeze and into a very ugly looking pattern that carries us through the next week. This is a break from all the ugly winter weather of late… but it’s only a break and it actually doesn’t look that impressive.<\/p>\n

The cold of the past few days was among some of the coldest in the past 10 to 20 years. Lexington and Frankfort recorded the lowest temps since 2004 and parts of southern and eastern Kentucky had the coldest air since January, 1994. If you weren’t impressed with how brutal this cold was… there is no help for you. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

We will start out today in the single digits across central and eastern Kentucky. A few of the colder valleys in the east may flirt with 0 or a touch below…<\/p>\n

Highs this afternoon will warm into the mid and upper 20s for many. Low 30s will be possible in the south and west as clouds increase during the day.<\/p>\n

This is ahead of a weak system pushing into the region from the west and southwest. This is likely to throw a period of light snow or a light mix from tonight into Thursday…<\/p>\n

We will keep a close eye on that because we do have a frozen ground. Anything that doesn’t fall as light snow could cause some icing. Thankfully, this looks rather light.<\/p>\n

Friday turns milder with readings working well into the 40s. This ugly pattern throws another system at us late Friday night into Saturday. This will send temps a few degrees warmer for Saturday and should give us a nice little drink of water…<\/p>\n

The air behind that doesn’t look very cold, but it could be just cold enough for some flakes\u00a0behind the front. This is a pattern that will throw a weak system our way every day or two. Each of these will\u00a0likely take on a more wintry look than the one before it.<\/p>\n

The air behind these gets colder and that leads us back into a pattern that brings wintry systems\u00a0our way. The Canadian Model\u00a0is excited about\u00a0the middle of next week…<\/p>\n

The pattern just after that is going to head back into a very cold one and one that is likely to produce a lot more snow around here. I will have more on the flip back to winter later today. Enjoy it and take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
