Stone-Shattering Cold

There are a few updates compared to this morning. Both dealing with the cold number one, and than the snow chances.

- It will be cold tonight. ( Wind Chill Advisories exist in Paris TN area for early tomorrow morning for sub zero wind chills) This cold will continue Tuesday Night
- There is a chance that we might not have a high temperature above freezing until Tuesday of Next Week unless we can make it above freezing this Wednesday(there is only a small chance of this).
- The models are back to showing a little more moisture after last nights 00Z Nam/Gfs wanted to be dream crusher. So watch out for an accumulating snowfall all across West KY and even into Mid TN.
- The winds pick up on Thursday towards the end of the snow event. This means that blowing and drifting of any snow that falls will cause a lot of issues Thursday and Thursday Night into Early Friday.
- With the exception of a light snow shower or flurry it will be a dry and very cold weekend.
- It could be a dangerous cold event this weekend. The forecast highs on Friday and Saturday will more than likely be under 20 with lows in the single digits, or colder depending on the snow-cover situation.

A few posts back I posted a website which has cold weather safety tips. We will need to use those tonight, Tuesday Night, and especially this upcoming weekend.
