Southern Plains Storm, Kentucky Snow Maker?

Hello everyone and good Sunday to you! If you have been watching my Facebook feed you would know we have a storm system coming into the state on Monday evening. This system looks to bring a little bit of both rain and snow our way ;)

Now let's go in depth with this system. This is a storm that will track across Tennessee allowing cold air to get us from the north. That cold air will allow for a change-over to snow for most of the state of Kentucky. Now with that being said, there will be a transition line. That transition line of rain and snow will set up shop somewhere in the northern Kentucky area Monday night then move southward allowing for the counties north of our location to see the best shot at some slushy accumulations of snow.

This sytem isn't going to produce anything big in the way of snow but we could certainly see the first accumulating snows of the season for many locations. Take a look at this map for the best shot at accumulating snows:

This area in the purple currently looks like the best chance for light accumulation of snow. Remember this do not mean we will see snow on the ground but we do have the best chance.

Now, here's a image of what the Canadian model is spitting out in the way of that transition line I was talking about earlier:

Do you see that yellow color between the rain and snow? Thats the transition line I was talking about above. Thats where any type of mixed precip can fall. Sleet, snow, rain, freezing rain, ect. This model shows that line moving further south and east and actually this model also shows the system moving further south then Tenessee. That means a better chance in the way of snow.

I will have several updates in my twitter feed and facebook feed as well in the next 24-48 hours about this storm. Have a great Sunday everyone and take care! :)
