Quick Sunday Update

9 PM Update:

Everything looks to be on track, snow should start in our area of SE KY starting tomorrow morning around 3 AM for the heaviest of snows. More on this storm tomorrow, post what the weather is doing in your back yard in the comments section!

PREVIOUS UPDATE:

Hey everyone, a quick update on our winter storm which should start tonight. Still feeling pretty confident in my call map with just a few tweaks.

This map is a compromise between the GFS and NAM. I think the GFS has the better handle on the overall set up, but I believe the NAM is handling the potential for upslope snow better than the GFS.

Remember things should start in SE KY later on this evening, here's radar and temps:



Here's things to watch for today:

-Temps might get above freezing but I believe this should be mainly a snow even with a little rain mixed in.
-Keep an eye out tomorrow morning as the surface low crosses the state for it to tap the Gulf of Mexico for moisture and rapidly intensify. This will likely cause some heavy snow bands to set up and where they set up determines who gets the most snow.
-You will likely wake up with around 1-3"s on the ground tomorrow morning, remember this is a long duration event.
-Lake enhanced upslope starts tomorrow night and could last all the way into Thursday.
-Watching the potential for another winter storm next weekend.

Okay it's time for the Daytona 500, I'll have another quick update afterwards.

Thanks for the blog Shane. I just found out about it from my Mother. I was also raised in Lily and still live in the Laurel County area and appreciate everything you do.
