The brutal pattern of January has been something to behold in our part of the world. A new pattern is developing as we head into February&#8230; one that&#8217;s taking on a wild and snowy look.<\/p>\n<p>As usual&#8230; let&#8217;s start with today. After the bitterly cold morning, temps rise into the upper teens and low 20s this afternoon.

The first of many storm systems will then impact our region by Friday into the weekend. This is likely to be a messy system that throws rain and snow our way on Friday. That should switch over to rain for Saturday, then may go back to snow or a mix on Super Bowl Sunday. The GFS shows this well&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/GFS34.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8981\" alt=\"GFS\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/GFS34.png\" width=\"457\" height=\"299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/GFS34.png 457w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/GFS34-300x196.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 457px) 100vw, 457px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We will have to keep an eye on where that magical rain\/snow line sets up because accumulating snow will be possible for some.<\/p>\n<p>The next storm is the one that&#8217;s\u00a0been getting my attention because it looks to\u00a0be massive.
