There appear to be two more shots at some snow this month. The next one will be the weekend of the 19th and 20th. It looks to start off as rain then switch over to snow before it ends.

 

 

The next show looks to be the 24th through the 26th. This one looks to be all snow.

 

 

So it looks like we are finally entering into winter.

Looks like our next chance for accumulating snow will be during the period of Saturday 1/19 through Sunday evening 1/20.

 

Here is the GFS simulated radar.

 

 

This is the simulated temperature map. That's correct it is showing temperatures in the single digits and teens by Sunday evening.

 

 

I will be watching it closely as we get closer and post updates when the information warrants it. This may be our first "Brass Monkey Alert" of this winter season. :thumb:

Here's the update for this coming weekend. Timing is going to be everything for any accumulation of snow. We are still a little less than a week away so there will be some fluctuations in the data until we get closer.

 

First for the precipitation. It looks to start as rain late Friday night or early Saturday morning. The rain could be heavy at times. As the cold air tries to move in during Saturday the rain should turn over to all snow by Saturday evening. Too early to say how much snow accumulations we will get.

 

 

Looks minimal for far WKY.

Everything will hinge on how fast the cold air moves in. Parts of Kentucky could see as much as a 40-degree drop in temperatures from Saturday afternoon to Sunday afternoon. Temps could range from 10 to low teens by Monday morning. Wind chills could be as much as 10 degrees below zero Monday morning.

And the following week's temperatures look more winter like than we've had so far.

Ouch!

My sources are saying this looks like mostly a rain event this weekend. Problem is, im supposed to be traveling to Indy to visit with an old friend on Saturday and to attend a college wrestling tournament my son is in on Sunday, and the current forecast is calling for a foot of snow there.

Ouch!

And the coldest temperatures look to be in the Cincinnati/NKY area.

Too early to tell. The models are all over the place right now. The GFS is showing little snow while the Canadian model is showing Kentucky receiving a big hit. Saturday looks to be mostly rain and switch over to snow Saturday into the day on Sunday.

Regardless of snow vs. rain, it will time to break out the Brass Monkey at the start of next week!:angrybird7:

If it's going to be that cold we might as well get some snow out of it.

Just a quick update. The GFS is still showing mainly a rain event for Saturday but switching to freezing rain and snow during the nighttime hours into Sunday. The Canadian is also showing rain during the day on Saturday but is showing a much quicker switch from rain to snow. It is not showing much in freezing rain accumulations but is still showing Kentucky getting some heavy snow accumulations. We'll still have to wait a day or two before we can start getting some definite information for what will happen this weekend.

Sounds like a good weekend to binge the new season of The Punisher on Netflix.

What about Thursday? Cincinnati weathermen are calling for precipitation on Thursday.

It won't amount to much. Maybe a dusting to around 1/2 inch.
