TRACKING THE WINTER WEATHER THREAT: Rain showers could turn to snow at some Monday night
Updated: 11:28 PM EDT on February 12, 2024
Derailment last February. Good. A few days ago, my back was screaming at me and saying, here we go. We're going to Mike. You'll have to shovel that driveway again. But I might get a break. Yes. The Snow Gods were listening carefully. Well, just wait. Oh. Wait today. At least for today. This is what I will say. At least for today. I know a lot of people are disappointed that we didn't get the snow that was possible there, but I'm still thinking before this week is done and said no more. There are still signs that winter is still returning, so we probably won't get it with this storm system. Let's keep an eye on that later in the week. Here's something. Although, especially if you're a snow lover, you might do it. Be frustrated by this. Check this out there around Nashville tonight. Do you see those lightning bolts? They have thundersnow falling down there in Tennessee and southern Kentucky. This system made a dramatic shift southward in about 12 hours yesterday. We've literally been watching this storm system take a completely different path over the course of about 12 hours. This took us from snow accumulation to zero. And that's exactly what we saw across the region tonight. until. In Kentucky, where they were thinking, did you know there's some snow mixed in with the rain, but that doesn't happen. This system did not have much cold air. However, again, let's wait because there are signs that this weekend we may finally be able to get the arctic air down and things come together for perhaps something more important. This is a long way. But there definitely is. Another sign of that aspect here tonight. Temperatures hover around 40, you know, in early to mid-February. It's not so bad that evening temperatures will be in the upper 30s to around 40s C once the skies start to clear, as this system passes towards the south and the skies will start to clear very quickly as it moves away from west to east, we should watch the skies Clear and temperatures will drop overnight. Tonight. Therefore, it will be cold, especially following the northerly winds. So, your system is turning away. The sky will be clear by tomorrow morning. Bright Tuesday looks like a beautiful day, especially since it's still the middle of winter and we're talking about sunny skies and temperatures around 50. Not quite 50, but between 45 and 50. Here's a look directly from the outside to the right now. Check the flags. We have a fairly decent breeze to the north and northeast, so that certainly makes it cooler than it actually is. He is. Do you see our temperature? We're at 40, but northerly winds at 15 are making us feel like we're in the freezing stage. So it will be cold all night and it will be cold in the morning. The northerly breeze will continue throughout tomorrow. Here's a look at your 12-hour forecast. We will reach around 30 degrees, maybe even the upper 20s by sunrise. So we'll be clearing skies tonight as rain and snow remain in our southeast tomorrow. Mostly sunny, breezy and cool. 37 for an afternoon hike. Here's a look at your daily chart starting in the morning in the upper 20s. We'll climb into the mid 40s around lunchtime and then mid to upper 40s in the afternoon for a very nice day. Good. We look good here. A bit cold tomorrow night as we arrive around 26. Not bad for Valentine's Day. Partly cloudy temperatures in the upper 40s. Looks very good. And then we have a chance for some rain here on Thursday. And while we still have a few more days to go, I say let's keep our eyes on Friday night into Saturday, there's another system that will come through, and I have a feeling we may actually get colder as we get closer, but again, several days out. So, we don't want to completely jump on board yet.
Although it will not be a major snow maker by any means, we are tracking our next wintry system arriving Monday night. Route changes have been made which will keep most of us out of the chance of accumulating snow. Scattered rain will move from south to north starting at 4pm on Monday, but the final track of the low pressure appears to remain southward. This means that while we could still see a mix of rain and snow overnight (closer to 11pm or midnight), the system will be on its way out when that happens. By 3 a.m., the snow had moved out of the area. IMPACTS: With a more southerly track, it seems likely that only areas southeast of I-71 could see a snow threat. These areas (southern Brown and Adams counties in OH and Bracken, Mason and Robertson counties in NKY) still have a chance of seeing accumulation, primarily 1 inch or less. All areas should at least be aware that overnight temperatures will drop to near freezing. With gentle winds, many roads will dry, but be aware of slick spots that may occur during the morning rush hour.
