WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY

Hello everyone and welcome back to the blog! We have a WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY in effect for southern and southeastern and of course eastern Kentucky starting at 10pm tonight until 3pm tomorrow.

Here's the scoop: The potent cold fron is passing over us as you read this and this will bring very cold temperatures to the area and gusty damaging winds up to 45mph. As this system moves to the Great Lakes it will create Lake Effect Snows coming from Lake Michigan. How? Well Lake Michigan is completely unfrozen. It's warm actually and with this cold air moving over a warm, large body of water and that will create snow. This snow will then reach as far south as Kentucky and could put down a light accumulation for much of central and Eastern Kentucky. (Hints the Winter Weather Advisory.)

I still expect around one inch here but local areas could see as much as 3 inches as we could get in on the more persistant bands of snow. What I mean by that is basically the longer and the heavier it snow, DUH! The more snow you'll see ;) It's a no brainer right? :P

Now with these gusty winds and the snow falling that will make for rough driving conditions and at times snow could come down so hard we could see white out conditions too. Blowing snow is a concern not only for the snow coming down but these winds could be so strong that it can pick up snow off the ground and blow it around as well.

I will have several more updates as needed through out the evening and probably overnight as well. I'm the weather dude here and I'm in it for the long haul and If you have any questions don't be afraid to tweet or send them to me on facebook! It's what I'm here for! Have a great Thursday everyone, take care and be safe! :)
