Winter Update

The storm in the weekend is really starting to get into the news. There a lot of uncertainties in this system including.

1) exact degree of cold air Fri Night though Sat
2) the affects of Olga on the system if Olga affects it
3) how the impact of having three jet streams nearby will play an issue.
4) degree of moisture esp in the Henderson KY area ( around Hopkinsville shouldn't be a problem)
5) degree of moisture on the backside of the system

It looks like all of west KY will be looking at snow. The timing of when the change over from rain to snow occurs or if it starts off as rain or snow is still not there. Also a slight northern track of an associated low pressure system which should move to around Memphis TN would mess up some chances for snow lovers. While a slight move south would increase confidence in snow lovers hearts in West KY. As it stands around 1-4 inches of snow may be reasonable one good thing is the models are starting to somewhat agree for now at least but any of the following things listed above and more can influence that heavily

Stay Tuned to News and NWS Website or any other weather source for more details on this potential Winter storm.
