Another Low coming down the Subtropical Pipeline

After a dusting of snow for most of West KY maybe some isolated measurable amounts in NW KY. The attention shifts to a potential precipitation maker in the Monday/Tuesday period. There is a lot of uncertainty in this forecast, and this will be a tough call even on the day of the event.

There is some model uncertainty on the track of the low, how much moisture will be available because of drier air the further east, how much warm air advection will occur, and how far north it comes.

Right now mostly rain for the Murray to Hopkinsville Kentucky area. Some snow could accumulate and mix with sleet/rain before changing to rain, and changing back to some light snow in the rest of West KY. There is a lot of uncertainty on how much will be winter wx compared to rain, and if it will be a significant event. Stay Tuned especially if you live from a Hickman KY to Benton KY to Central City KY north.
