Cold Weather Blues

Your reaction after reading this post.

Today 1/27 – Partly Cloudy, Blustery – 23˚ & Falling / Tonight – Slap Ya Momma – Low 0˚

6am 23˚ ~ 9am 19˚ ~ 12pm 18˚ ~ 3pm 17˚ ~ 6pm 14˚ ~ 9pm 9˚

As the great Zac Brown once said, “I’m stuck in colder weather.”  An arctic cold front has passed to our southeast this morning, bringing with it a few very light, spotty rain showers.

A few slick spots will be possible on the morning commute, thanks to temps currently located in the upper 20s.  Want worse news?  They’ll continue to plummet throughout the day.

Have a look at the NAM temperature model, valid from 6am – midnight in 3-hour increments:

You will need to dress to fight two elements today…bitter cold temps and strong winds.  A tight pressure gradient behind the boundary will produce northerly breezes of 15-25+mph today.

Tues – Partly Cloudy, Holy COLD – High 14˚ / Tues Night – Clear & WUT!? – Low -1˚

Arctic high pressure will dominate south central Kentucky, as the cold front continues to push off to our southeast.  This surface boundary will also lay a foundation for a winter storm across the Gulf States.  if you’re a weather guru like you, you’ll want to keep an eye on it.

Northerly winds of 10-20mph will suppress our temperatures to the lower – mid teens on Tuesday afternoon.  Although  rays of sunshine are possible, Tuesday will be the coldest day of the week.  Painfully cold.  Dress at your own risk.

Wed – Sunny & Cold – High 25˚ / Wed Night – Clear – Low 13˚

As the arctic high advances to our east, clockwise flow will shift winds from out of the south.  This will help temp values rebound into the mid 20s.  Not a significant warm up…but a warm up, nonetheless.  Wednesday night will be another cold, quiet one.

Out next weather producer won’t arrive until  Thursday night.  This will come in the form of a weak cold front, which will carry light rain & snow along with it.

That’s going to wrap up the morning update.  Stay connected to @WarrenCountyWx & @Wx_Or_Not for more frequent information.  Have a great start to the work week, stay warm, and thanks for reading.
