Winter Storm Update:

Hello everyone and Merry Christmas Eve to all of you out there, I bring you this update for our next winter storm that looks to affect our area starting Christmas night into the following day on Wednesday. We'll start out as rain Christmas night and by Wednesday afternoon/evening we'll have a very quick change over to snow and some light accumulations are expected.

Let's get to it shall we? ;) Now with the above being said I do have to tell you the mean effects from this storm will be felt in the western parts of the state. The GFS and NAM models are trending a bit further east with the storm and with that in mind increases the threats ever so slightly further into central and eastern Kentucky. That is the reason why when you'll look at my First call for snowfall map below, you will think "This guy is crazy, other weather people isn't even saying this much.":

Now, in the 4-8 inch area of western Kentucky there could be some locally higher amounts of 10 inches in some areas. The further east you go will be the more rain that you will see, thus keeping snowfall totals in check. The 1-2 inch area is still un-certain due to the fact that the track of the low is still uncertain. If this storm moves further east (as I expect it to do so) We could be in for a bit more than that shown above.

There is a WINTER STORM WATCH out for far western Kentucky. Here's the map:

Since I do expect the low pressure to move further east, I also expect to see these Winter Strom watches to be extended at least a few counties further to the east.

I will be updating via Facebook and Twitter as much as possible on this storm. Have a great Christmas Eve and Christmas and Merry Christmas to all of you. Take care! :)
