Light SNow in NW KY

Up to a dusting is possible as far south as Providence to Calhoun KY. With up to isolated half inch to inch in the Henderson/Owensboro KY area. This shouldn't be a big issue, but some slick spots are possible.

The Grinch is in the winds

Merry Christmas!!!! Happy Hoildays!!!

The Grinch is in the winds today and tonight into Christmas Morning as a strong low pressure gradient system moves across Central Arkansas into Eastern Missouri the pressure gradient will tighten and the high winds will kick up. The Grinch Winds could gust upwareds to 50MPH+. Wind Advisories are in effect for West KY some areas may go to a High Wind Warning or come close for this event.

Christmas Lookout.

A impressive system is moving across the Central US. Our impacts won't be snow, but instead locally heavy rain and some Christmas Winds. Wind Gusts up to 49-50MPH are possible Christmas Eve though Christmas Morning. Hold on to your Christmas decorations.

Christmas Travels.

After freezing fog in parts of West KY caused some accidents. The fog clears and temps rise into the upper 40's.

- Temps into the 50's Tuesday than near or even exceeding 60 on the 23rd and Christmas Eve
- Cold Front comes though Christmas Eve night with temps in the 40's falling into the 30's for Christmas Day with rain sprinkles and a stray flurry.
- Locally heavy rain is possible, so are strong non-thunderstorm winds up to 40MPH. Not a strong wind event, but enough to push on some high profile cars, trucks, and vans on Christmas Eve travels, and blow over Christmas decorations.
- Rain shouldn't cause anytime big flooding although localized ponding on low water crossings is possible. 1 to 2 inches of rain expected east of US 45, and 2 to 3 inches of rain west of US 45.

Time to play the game of clippers

With two weekend clippers and a noreaster. There may be enough cool air for Saturday and moisture for very light snowfall. With a dusting along the KY/TN border to upwards to an inch in Henderson and Owensboro

watch out

rain and snow showers mix Saturday and Sat. Night. Watch out around the 23rd-24th a system may form that could impact travel and hoilday plans in a negative way.

Dec 9

Wind and Water all over

Part I- Heavy Rain up to 2 inches of rain can fall in West KY. This won't cause big issues, but could cause ponding on low water crossings.

Part II- Strong Winds are coming so hold on to something. Wind gusts from the SW then W starting about midnight, and continuing into the morning and afternoon hours of Wednesday. This will be the story sustained winds of 25 to 30MPH with gusts up to 45 to 49MPH likely. Beware of driving if you drive in a high-profile vehicle. Also some isolated brief power outages and minor damage can't be ruled out.

Wind Advisory

High Wind Event possible

Light flurries and rain tonight. Rain and wind this week

Light flurries and rain expected today.

I am watching for the potential of some high end wind gusts from a huge system coming though the midwest the middle of this week. Wind Advisory Gusts may be reached.

Thanks to Google Earth

For Mid TN it is a quick map for the northern and central Plateau. For Southern Plateau I predict about an 1 to 2 inch from higher elevations of Grundy and Franklin County.

A few systems this week.

- First is the system for tomorrow and tomorrow night into early Thursday. This could be a decent rainmaker, have some chances of backside snow to but little to no accumulation is expected. Except for maybe a dusting to an half inch close to the Miss. River if one is lucky enough.

- Than if we get enough moisture and a very significant NW trend than West KY can be on the edge of another weathermaker later in the week.

Enjoy December
The most wonderful time of the year.

It is that wonderful time of the year.

HAPPY Meteorological Winter.
