Gorgeous Start To December, Winter To Take Over

Hello everyone and welcome back to the blog on this gorgeous December day. If you follow my posts on Facebook, you will know that I issued a statement to all those folks whom are jumping on the "It's 70 degrees in December, let's call off Winter" bandwagon. 60 and 70 degree temperatures are not uncommon here in Kentucky in December and a matter of fact, two thirds of all Decembers in record featured temperatures in the 60s at least at some point in December here.

I wanted to tell you please get out and enjoy this 70 degree temperature day because this will be the last nice day for a while. Tomorrow a cold fron will move in bringing locally heavy rains and cooler temperatures. Most location will remain in the mid 40s for highs. This weekend looks pretty wild here. Friday a system moves in bringing yet more rain in which we need because we're getting pretty dry here once again.

Late in the weekend we'll get another system moving in here and it looks to be the bigger of the two. This one looks to start off as rain and on the back side a wintry aspect is showing up. Some of you may have heard of the 7th-14th is the days I've been watching out for. That still looks to hold true as of now for it being the first real shot at winter weather around here.

I have a big announcement to make and it is I have something I'm doing just for Christmas. Everyone wants a white Christmas right? Well once a week untill a week before Christmas I will update you all on the chances of a white Christmas then in the last 7 days I will update you everyday. Since we're on the topic of a White Christmas take a look at what the CFS model is calling for in the way of snow here on Christmas:

With that being said above, we could be looking at a few inches of snow on the ground for Christmas morning. That should get you're Christmas spirit really going! Right now I give our chances of a white Christmas right around 53%. Why so low? Well first off we're still at least 3 weeks away and thats ALOT of time for things to change and it will change.

Have a great day everyone and take care! :)
