It is based on an atomic clock and is the worlds official reference for time. UTC time is used by planes, ships at sea and weather satellites. There are no time zones and it is the same time no matter where you are in the world. For instance 0000 UTC (8 pm 12 hour clock) starts a new day. So at 0000 UTC it turned into Thursday. Where in a 12 hour clock the new day starts at midnight.

One thing about the time stamp. That is not military time but UTC time. It is different.

I like the way #1 looks but I'm not really a fan of the speed but that's just me.

That's what I was thinking too.

Ok this one shows the possible rain from Friday morning till Saturday afternoon. Hopefully these will keep working. The file size has been the main problem.

Which animation speed does everyone like? #1 or #2.

This is just a test. I'm trying to figure out how to post an animation of what the models show for the temps for Thursday.

I wish I knew so I could watch the game. Yes he graduated from there in 2008 and played on the basketball team.

Nope not over yet. Looks like another chance of snow and temps in the mid teens to close out the month of March. This is around the last weekend of the month.

You're welcome my friend.

I'll be watching it for you. Be safe and stay warm.

right now temps in the low to mid 30s. Little or no chance of precipitation. Temps look to in the upper 40s to low 50s in Winchester by Saturday afternoon.

I didn't go but one of my coworkers took his daughter. She got to kiss the Nature Boy on the cheek!

It will mainly depend on timing. What I just went over, GFS is showing the temps will be above freezing until early Tuesday morning. Temps look to fall during the day on Tuesday into the low to mid 20s by Tuesday evening. For now the moisture looks to move out ahead of the temperature drop. Maybe a mix and very light if any accumulations as the temperature drops before the precipitation moves out completely. The NAM is showing that the below freezing temps won't move in until Tuesday evening so timing will be every thing. Those is SE and EKY should pay attention to the weather at this time. If the predicted system shifts westward members in that area could see some nice accumulations.

Be prepared for slippery roads and limited visibilities...and use caution while driving.

Here's my updated look at the snow for Saturday into Sunday. It now appears that most of the snow has moved even further south with the heaviest possible accumulations in WKY. From the Louie B Nunn PKWY southward dusting to 1" of accumulations. Western Kentucky could see anywhere from 2-4". This looks to be west of The Land Between the Lakes area. I'll be back in a few with a new thread for the possible snow for early next week.

First look at possible accumulations for Saturday. I'm thinking from a dusting to about 1" mainly south of I-64. I will update later today. Also give my first thoughts on the second system that looks to come through early next week.
