Post Storm Update

Hey Folks,

Damage reports are coming in from all across the state right now. I'm hearing University of the Cumberlands took a pretty hard hit. Also hearing reports Stinking Creek got hit extremely hard. Say a prayer for everyone affected as they start to clean up, and remember a lot of our fellow Kentuckians to the north just got done cleaning up from the ice storm.

Here's the latest storm damage report from NWS Jackson.

Latest Wind Gust data from KY Mesonet.

Your 5-day Forecast for London KY:

Thursday: Should be partly cloudy with a High of 51 and low near 35

Friday: Mostly Sunny, with a High of 57, and Low of 35.

Saturday: Chance of rain showers. Low of 36, High of 51.

Sunday: Chance of early rain showers with maybe a flurry mixed in early. Otherwise Mostly cloudy. Low of 31, High of 41.

Monday: Much Cooler, and Sunny. Low of 28, High of 39.

Forecast Review: Wednesday: Mostly Cloudy with a chance of showers and thunderstorms some of which could be strong to severe in the evening. High of 68, Low of 51. Actual: 71/51 Woo hoo, now I feel like I'm getting back in the game. Gotta thank the thunderstorm for cooling the temps off to the low.

Forecast Discussion: Going to keep this short cause I am wore out tonight. I think we remain calm weather wise for the next couple of days, with out next chance of RAIN coming this weekend. We could maybe see a little snow on the back side of this system but not much.

Snow Chance for the middle of Next Week:

I'm not sold on this storm as a big snow maker just yet. Does it have the possibility to put down some snow, sure, is it going to be a big snow, I don't think so... model by model break down.

Okay so if you want to believe Southern KY is going to get a decent snow out of this hope for the GFS Ensembles. However the majority of the other models are far enough north to make me suspect this is going to be a rain to snow event for Southern KY on Wednesday. Folks North of I64 Stand the best chance at getting mainly snow out of it. As you can see GFS surface temps are way too warm down south here in London for Snow out of this even intially. That's all for now, another update heading your way tomorrow.
