Coldest Air of the Season Coming Soon...

So far, the lowest temperature this young winter season has been 20 at Louisville Int'l and 17 at Lexington. At this time, all models are in agreement that a shot of Arctic air is poised to plague the region resulting in perhaps the coldest air of the season. Daytime highs look to struggle to reach the freezing mark.

You would think snow chances would rate very high during this time frame. True, we may see a fetch of moisture off of the Great Lakes, but what we need is a storm system that gets its act together to produce a decent snow event here while the window of opportunity is open.

Most likely, this cold snap won't last long unless we get a strengthening block to our northeast, which models do hint at some blocking. We'll have to wait and see on that one.

Till then, enjoy the mild air. I think I may end up going hiking...
