End of 2008, Pretty Tame

The title says it all, 2008 is going out with a whimper.

Your 5day Forecast for London KY:

Monday: Looking nicer than I thought yesterday, where going Partly Sunny with a high of 55 and low of 33.

Tuesday: The nice weather continues with partly sunny skies and high of 58, and a low of 31.

Wednesday: Your new years eve has a slight chance for rain and or snow showers. Otherwise it will be Mostly cloudy with a high of 40 and a low 30.

Thursday: Mostly cloudy, with a high of 41 and a low of 21.

Friday: Rain changing to snow seems to be in the cards for now, but as always models 5 days out are as about as accurate as throwing a dart at the dart board. High of 40, low of 28.

Forecast Review from yesterday:

Forecast: 39/62
WKYT: 42/45
WYMT: 36/55
WLEX: 44/48
WTVQ: 44/48
NWS: 45/49
Accuweather: 44/52
TWC:30/54

Actual: 32/65

UPDATED ACTUAL LOW 1:45 PM Dec 29. 0uch my low busted hard :(.

Actual low as of 10:18, so it may drop a few degrees. Overall happy with the forecast but really shocked as how much my Monday cast has changed. I don't know if I was looking at the Raw 2m Temps wrong yesterday or what, but a 10 degree jump in a forecast is a bit disturbing.

Forecast Discussion:

Things look pretty straight forward in the short term. Zonal flow of the Jet Stream takes over the first half of the week and things stay pretty calm, and above seasonal averages for temps. A Clipper looks to move through the day after Christmas day. Things are looking pretty active as we move into the first of the year. Some blocking looks to set up over Greenland, which could mean the possibility for some decent snows in our future. No graphics tonight, but hopefully some coming back in the future. Until next time.

Snowfall Forecast

Back from the dead like a zombie, but sans the screaming of brains, the blog as back as I start my new job as a Meteorologist in West Virgina. While I don't have a full forecast for London, KY I do have a snowfall forecast map through Wed Morning. Enjoy.
