First Significant Regional Winter Storm For East Coast

Click HERE for latest web cam shot of Harrisburg/Lancaster PA where 4-8" of wet snow expected through tomorrow. Winter Storm Warning products out for much of the forecast area there while Winter Storm Watches are posted all along the east coast.

As expected, the far southeastern part of Kentucky will be most impacted by this same weather system that will pronounce winter upon much of the northeast United States.

Already, sleet and some spotty snowflakes have been reported in eastern KY

Although I preferred the other 3 models instead of the European, dry conditions have prevailed for our area here in Louisville as expected. Nevertheless, clouds are hanging tough despite some areas, perhaps just 10 miles from my location, are seeing abundant sunshine.

I forecasted 40's and low 50's for our area the other day and mentioned that southeastern parts of the state would possibly get in on some of the precipitation. I used a compromise of the GFS and GEM solutions to get at what the European model did very well showing.

More updates to follow as the impacts of the first regionwide winter storm for the east coast commences....
