December 11, 20169 yr I don't really like the trend the GFS is showing for next weekend. For a couple of runs now it is showing instead of snow now a major icing event. This is for those along the Ohio River and the Cincinnati/NKY area. I'm not going to give totals because as we have seen the GFS model has been jumping back and forth. Another reason is because of the long range CFS model is still showing snow for the same time period. Please, please, please snow! No ice!
December 11, 20169 yr Author @nWo do you find CFS or GFS models to historically be the most accurate?The GFS is more accurate because it is refreshed every 6 hours but you'll have more fluctuations with it. The CFS is only refreshed every 12 hours. The latest GFS is starting to come around towards snow and a little away from the ice but we'll have to wait and see.
December 11, 20169 yr No local weather is showing anything for this week. For once I hope you are wrong and they are right.

December 11, 20169 yr Author From the Weather Prediction Center for next weekend. It shows at least a 50% chance of rain/sleet for parts of Kentucky. Mainly north of I-64 then at least a 10-30% chance south of there.
December 12, 20169 yr I'll probably give my first call for possible accumulations starting Sunday evening for the middle of the week. Starting to get a good read on it now because we are now getting in the time period where the NAM model is starting to show information. As for next weekend the Polar Vortex that is heading our way will bring us the coldest temps of the winter so far. Also it is playing havoc with the weather models. They are having a tough time reading the future conditions. The GFS is vacillating from heavy snow to heavy ice so we will have to wait and see what we get. Still looking at snow for the middle of the week in WKY?
December 12, 20169 yr Author Still looking at snow for the middle of the week in WKY? According to the NAM no but, let me emphasize that I never called for any snow. What I was showing was a snap shot of what the weather models were showing at that given point it time.
December 12, 20169 yr Author @gold sunrise You should be good to go for your trip to Cleveland. Might run into some very light snow depending on what time you have to travel. Maybe .5" in some areas of middle to northern Ohio. The highs for Tuesday look to be in the low to mid 30s. Wednesday the highs in the low 20s.
December 12, 20169 yr Author I hope it snows like crazy at the Bengals/Steelers game. You may get your wish. I won't make a call or post anymore info unless it is warranted until around Thursday.
