This is not out of the realm of reality. An event we have been watching most of this week is starting to consistently show on the models. There is a lot of uncertainty or precip amounts and exact types because of the nature of this system. This appears to be an overrunning event. In which a stalled out front will stall out somewhere in TN or even N MS and N AL. You will have that warm gulf moisture that we have been waiting for and an arctic air mass created a temp gradient along the mentioned stalled out front.
Tommorow if there is enough confidence in it I will make a hazards map and assign a confidence level number to it if the trends are favorable.

10 years ago
The 10th anniversary of a quite impressive tornado outbreak and is very similar to the Super Tuesday Outbreak. Luckliy I felt that this one was a little bit more prepared for, and also this outbreak didn't quite contain as many f-3 and f-4 tornadoes as Super Tuesday did.
This was still one of Arkansas biggest tornado outbreaks. With tornadoes in the Little Rock metro area. Tornadic storms near the Memphis area. Camden and Clarksville TN really got hit hard with F3 tornadoes early in the morning of Jan 22nd.
In West Ky wind damage was reported in Todd County. A tornado hit Ballard County/West Paduach with several injuries to a mobile home. In West KY the storms started on Midnight on the 22nd. And continued until about 5am the 22nd.
If anyone has any thoughts to share. Or describe what might this outbreak a good one.

Happy MLK day
Today is Martin Luther King JR. day.
I just thought I would take this blogspot to give honor to this day. As in race relations we are going in a right direction, but there is so much that needs to be done. With the Civil Rights movement we started the foundation of making race relations better.

snowy update
With more snow bands forming in south central KY. these bands can add another dusting to Christian, Todd, Muhlenberg counties. Also to east of Nashville make the snow event more interesting. Some areas towards Byrdstown and Crossville could pick up to 2 inches.
Bremen KY did get 1 inch today.

Call map for the possible light snow.
In case it is too sloppyDark Blue- A half inch to an inch
Light Blue- A dusting to 3/4 of an inch
Green- Just a flurries will fly event probably at best.
Very low confidence on this. I really don't see widespread areas of 1 inch plus due to temps around or above freezing and limited moisture.
Like weather we can all be wrong. With temps in the 20's tonight any moisture on the road could make travel a little tricky for tomorrow morning.
Another dusting to one inch snowtease they never end.
Another Low Confidence dusting to 1 inch snowtease for us.

The 15th year anniversery of the 1994 Winter Storm.
6) ICEBOX 1994 Jan. including a Jan Snowstorm- An intense winter storm hit right before the Ice Storm of 1994. This storm produce 6-11 inches plus along with some ice even though the icing wasn't as bad as Feb. Jan icing on top of 5 to 11 inches of snow made travel pretty much impossible. Near Blizzard conditions occurred in West KY and parts of TN. The Governor of KY at the time closed all interstates and US highways for the first time in KY history.
The big major event was the worst Cold Snap in our lifes as 08'ers and if you were around in 60's and 70's maybe close 2nd worst cold snap. Lows were as low as believe this right here in West KY up towards -22F on Jan 19th-20th 1994. A low of -1 was recorded in Nashville TN with near Zero temps as far south as the TN/AL border. This cold snap even caused a slab to fall down in Mammoth Caves which is one of the most geologically altering events in the cave in hundreds of years. Lows include
HENDERSON KY/ -22F Jan 19th 1994. HOPKINSVILLE KY/ -12F Jan 19th 1994 NASHVILLE TN/ -1F Jan 19th-20th 1994.

The record cold list from NWS PAH
The temperatures from -1 to 6 for lows were not records. We need snowcover most of the time to get record cold. If we had snowcover we could of probably set a daily or even all time record low in this setup.

Minus the temparture
This lesson is where in some west ky areas you minus the temperature from zero.
Some areas could go to -3 degrees in Henderson and Owensboro without snow cover. Even hoptown could go below zero.
Nice sun will warm the temperature up a good deal though at least.

Blow Cold
WInd chills got to -1 to -11 last night. Winds wont be that bad tonight but lows of -1 to 2 are expected. Several schools have closed tomorrow because it is supposed to be so cold.
Wednesday, January 14, 2009
Extreme Cold help
- Dress in Layers. Wear Gloves and Cover all areas of skin
- Practice good space heater rules. Make sure you don't put your heater in anything combustible. This is why house fires spike in cold waves.
- Bring all pets and livestock in sheltered area. The up to -10 windchills can effect them to. Speaking of -10 windchills you can get frostbite in exposed areas in 45 minutes.
- Let your faucets drip so they wont freeze.
- Shelter your children when they go out to the bus stop.
That is my basic list.

Update on the Clipper
Right now the radar is quiet. A big question I can't really answer is will that be the case later tonight and tomorrow. There is a lot dry air around and a clipper is supposed to move into the area. The best case with warm ground still from the upper 40's today is probably about 1/2 to maybe near a 1 inch I think at best.
Or course we could get nothing but flurries.
It is so unconfident that I can't even place a 1 confidence level forecast for it. Also pretty much any winter wx is probably going to be less than 1 inch of snow.
Check and be sure just in case I am wrong.

first time i posted in what seems like forever
Long time no post that will change though.
Another clipper for Mid TN. Lets see if we can muster up 1 to 2 inches of snow again. Last time we weren't so lucky. But what is the harm in trying again. West KY might see less than an inch of snow but more than likely little to none. Best chance is Mid TN the higher elevations Tomorrow afternoon.
Cold snap a lot is unknown about it but it could be 20 degrees below average on temperatures. With lows as low as around zero in nw ky to the 5 to 8 degree range in rest of west ky is possible. Highs will struggle to the 20's. So on Wed-Fri esp dress in layers and watch for frozen pipe danger.

Little Trough System
As the trough moves. We will need to watch this one for light snow showers in West KY even though only trace to half inch is expected of snow.
Cumberland Plateau in Mid TN could experience upwards to 2 inches of the white stuff. Due to being below freezing and orographic lift.

Good rain event for Jan 5th-6th. Up to .5 to 1 inch expected.
Can't rule out slight chance of rain tonight maybe even freezing rain that is a very low confidence of any frozen precip before the rain but bears to watch.
