Previewing Upcoming Snow Event(s)

We have Arctic air heading this way. It will begin arriving late tonight, becoming well entrenched by tomorrow afternoon, and then hanging out for a few days.

Snow chances will be increasing by early Thursday into the afternoon hours. I looked at analogs a couple of days ago and put out a comment that most areas of the state will get an inch or under. However, some areas to the southeast part of the state could see more. The data suggested a general 1-3" swath. This may be associated with uplift and intensifying bands. I'm still holding to that general forecast.

Additionally, SE Kentucky could be getting brushed with a stronger system by the weekend. That still remains in question, as that part of the data still needs to be fine tuned as measurements will be sampled for the storm system soon to move ashore.

Well, anyway, here's to hoping for an overachieving period of winter's best.
