Today 1/27 – Cloudy “Blerg” – High 36ºF / Tonight – Mostly cloudy – Low of 25ºF.
Well, in contrast to last night’s snowfall, today should be a quieter. We saw total snow accumulations ranging from a nice dusting to ~1.5″, which boded very well with our forecast from yesterday. The highest totals were actually reported from downtown Bowling Green. Was it enough to have a little fun with? Absolutely!

It’s worth noting that lingering flurries and what’s known as freezing drizzle has created a few travel issues this morning. Main roads seem fine, but you still need to exercise caution. A few slick spots are possible on secondary roads, as well as bridges & overpasses. The National Weather Service has a Traveler’s Advisory in effect for the entire area until 9am.
Travelers Advisory for icy patches on untreated roads until 10am EST/9am CST http://t.co/BoE4duLBVw #lmkwx #kywx #inwx #travelersadvisory

A lot of low level moisture will hang around this morning, as northerly flow filters in behind the system that gave us the snow last night.
We’ll see clouds hang tough throughout much of the day and into the overnight. Temps look to stay cool because of this. We’ll have north-northeast winds at the surface, which is why I expect temps to be limited to the mid 30s.
Other than that, things look to be rather lame. Some models are depicting low level moisture scattering out of here earlier tonight.
I don’t necessarily buy this, and that’s why I’m keeping temps (overnight lows) up a bit across the region. If clouds hang around all night, look for temps to be in the upper 20s. If clouds clear out, look for temps to fall into the lower 20s.
Wednesday 1/28 – Mostly Sunny – High of 43ºF / Wed Night – Increasing clouds; iso’d showers late – Low of 34ºF
Well, this looks like its gonna be the best weather day of the week. We’ll be in between systems on “hump day,” and we’re looking at clouds FINALLY giving us a much needed break from their presence.
It’s the return of dat sun, RON! Get with it.
I think with the sunshine in place, and winds shifting to the south and southwest by the afternoon, we’ll see temps climb into the low and maybe even mid 40s. Break out the shorts!
As we head into the overnight hours, clouds will likely increase very quickly as another clipper begins to slide southeast out of Canada. Southwesterly flow and clouds will help keep temps up out ahead of this system. Models are often times a bit too fast on the arrival of clipper systems (they move very quickly), and I would imagine that we end up seeing rain begin late Wednesday night and early Thursday morning.
Thursday: Cloudy, and morning showers. Breezy, with a high of 48ºF. Thur. night: Cloudy. Low of 29ºF.
Cloudy… AGAIN!?!
How often will the atmosphere keep doing this to us? It’s gonna be another cloudy one with scattered showers across the area. We all know what that means…
With a clipper system sliding to our north, our pressure gradient is looking to tighten just ahead of and right after an associated cold front. This could lead to several hours of some gusty winds across the region, and that is something to keep an eye on as we head into Thursday morning across south central Kentucky
After the front passes, temps look like they will fall throughout the day and into the night, but overnight lows don’t look to be too low. Temps will likely only fall into the upper 20s due to thick cloud cover residing over the region.
Well, that is all I have for this post! Between now and when I post again, I’ll be watching and studying the major blizzard affecting the Northeast!
