CURRENT RADAR ANALYSIS SHOWS A SWATH OF RAIN ACROSS THE LOWER MS
VALLEY THAT WILL SPREAD NORTHEAST ACROSS THE TN VALLEY THROUGH THIS
MORNING. THE NORTHERN FRINGES OF THIS MAY IMPACT PORTIONS OF OUR
AREA, PRIMARILY WEST KY. MEANWHILE THE PRIMARY TROUGH AXIS ACROSS
THE MIDWEST WILL PIVOT EASTWARD INTO THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
TODAY, RESULTING IN SOME LIGHT RAIN BEING POSSIBLE ACROSS OTHER
PARTS OF THE AREA THROUGH THE DAY. FINALLY, AN UPPER LEVEL LOW
ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST WILL DIVE SOUTHWARD INTO THE OHIO
VALLEY TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING. ON THE LEADING EDGE OF THIS,
A NARROW BAND OF LIGHT RAIN MAY PUSH SOUTHEASTWARD THIS EVENING
INTO THE EARLY OVERNIGHT PERIOD. THE THERMAL PROFILE MAY
SUPPORT SOME CHANGEOVER TO A FEW SNOWFLAKES WITH SOME OF THIS
BEFORE ENDING.
MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES ARRIVE TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT AS THE
PRIMARY TROUGH PIVOTS EAST INTO THE NORTHEASTERN U.S. MODERATION IS
EXPECTED MONDAY INTO TUESDAY DESPITE NORTHWEST FLOW REMAINING IN
PLACE. ANOTHER PIECE OF ENERGY DIVING SOUTH OF CANADA ON TUESDAY
WILL CARVE OUT A DEEP TROUGH ACROSS THE EASTERN U.S. WEDNESDAY INTO
THURSDAY. THIS WILL LEAD TO ANOTHER BOUT OF COLDER AIR SURGING SOUTH
INTO OUR CWA. ON THE LEADING EDGE OF THIS SOME LIGHT PRECIP WILL BE
POSSIBLE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. LIKELY WILL BE PRIMARILY
RAIN, BUT COULD MIX WITH SOME SNOW BEFORE ENDING AS COLDER AIR
FUNNELS IN. NOT EXPECTING ANY ACCUMULATIONS WITH IT THOUGH.
WHILE A SLIGHTER WARMER PERIOD MAY OCCUR NEXT FRIDAY, MODELS ARE
HINTING AT ADDITIONAL WAVES MOVING IN THAT WILL REINFORCE THE
TROUGHING ACROSS OUR REGION INTO NEXT WEEKEND. IN FACT, TEMPERATURES
MAY BE EVEN COLDER YET AS THE LATEST GUIDANCE SUGGESTS ROUGHLY A 40-
60% CHANCE OF HIGH TEMPERATURES REMAINING BELOW FREEZING NEXT SUNDAY
(JAN 18TH). OVERALL TREND IN MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS A FAIRLY DRY
PERIOD AS WELL, ALTHOUGH SOME LIGHTER PRECIP CAN'T BE RULED OUT.
