Friday/Early Afternoon

Just wanted to give a quick update on where we stand for snow accumulation across Kentuckiana...

-New GFS and NAM models came in about 1 hour ago, and their really isn't much of a difference between the both of them. They take the low pretty far north into Southern Ohio. As the low is in Eastern Kentucky...where the heaviest snow would be possible, warmer air will probably keep some of the precipitation rain or sleet.

-Right now this doesn't look like a classic Ohio Valley snowstorm. Instead were looking at a 1-3 inch band of snow across South Central Indiana (Jackson, Jennings, Lawerence). Lesser amounts to the south. Most accumulation will be on grassy areas due to the temperature hovering above 32. Sunday night into Monday we will see wrap around light snow, and this will actually be the better chance for accumulating snow across Kentuckiana. Some slick spots my develop Sunday night into Monday morning...so be careful out their!

-I will update later...hopefully I will be more hopeful than this by that time...

MORE LATER...

what do you think about Owen County, IN?

Carl...This is a very tricky system. I do think their will be more moisture available then what are depicted by the models. The latest NAM has picked up on this idea, but has the low further west which means more rain then changing to snow with a slushy inch or two of snow possible. I believe it will track a bit further east....right now I will go 1-3 for you...more updates tonight...PS
