Finally Friday

Hello everyone! After an extended hiatus the blog is back with another post to give you some heads up about what's going on in the world of south eastern KY weather. We have some snow heading our way and you can track it right here on radar.


No watches or warnings for us in London and Laurel county and the surrounding areas. Not going to see enough snow to warrant and advisory but we could pick up an inch or two.

Here's the latest temperatures:

Winds:

Wind Chills:
Here's what the NAM is saying about how much snow we could see by tomorrow evening:

So maybe an inch or two is possible.

Here's a quick 5-day forecast for London, KY for you!:

Saturday: Mostly cloudy with snow showers. Low of 24, High of 34.

Sunday: Mostly cloudy with a few spotty flurries in the morning... becoming partly cloudy later. Low of 26, High of 38.

Monday: A mix of sun and clouds, Low of 22, High of 42.

Tuesday: Mostly cloudy with a slight chance of rain/snow. Low of 29, High of 36.

Wednesday: Chance of snow, otherwise mostly cloudy. Low of 24, High of 35.

Things to come:

-Keeping an eye on the middle of next to see how the next major storm system is going to evolve... right now we could get a glancing blow from this storm which could create March snow showers.
- No end to the cold and wet pattern at least through mid march, long range models and indicies continue to indicate ridging over the western US with a general trough pattern in the eastern US, which means cold and active weather for us.
-On a personal note, I'm working on a few things for the blog including:
*New style of video blog: Very similar to the style Accuweather does.
*Possibly expanding the coverage area of the blog.
*Inclusion of up to date weather graphics to make this a one stop weather shop.
*New Twitter account exclusive for this blog.
*New web adress.

So that's what's going on with me and the blog. Until next time, Take Care!

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.

Another Winter Storm...

Snow continues across parts of eastern KY this hour, but it's just an appetizer for whats to come.



The hits just keep on coming for southern KY this year, today a video blog updating the winter storm threat for tomorrow:
