.KEY MESSAGES...

* A quick-moving disturbance will bring a chance for light snow
  Thursday night into Friday morning. Minor travel impacts at rush
  hour Friday morning are possible from southern Indiana to the
  Kentucky Blue Grass.

* A Significant winter storm will move across the region Sunday and
  into Monday. Forecast confidence is high that this system will
  impact the region.  Forecast confidence on precipitation types and
  amounts remains low.  Much colder air will move into the region
  behind this system for the remainder of the week.

.UPDATE...
Issued at 913 PM EST Wed Jan 1 2025

Conditions are cool and dry this evening. Based on radar trends and
limited moisture, decided to remove the mention of flurries from 03Z
onward. Sfc high pressure is analyzed near Memphis this evening and
is forecast to shift east across the Mid-South overnight. Expect a
cold night with skies ranging from partly to mostly cloudy across
southern IN/north-central KY and partly to mostly clear across south-
central KY. Temperatures are already at or below the freezing mark
at most locations and will continue to fall into the mid 20s early
tomorrow morning.

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Issued at 322 PM EST Wed Jan 1 2025

Synoptically, the CONUS is split between broad troughing over the
East Coast and broad ridging across the west with somewhat zonal
flow aloft over the OH Valley. Latest surface analysis shows an
expansive 1031 mb high pressure system centered over the Central
Plains with ridging extending eastward in the TN/OH Valleys. Low
stratus continues to blanket the region in the wake of yesterday`s
cold front, which, in tandem with CAA, has served to limit diurnal
heating today as KY Mesonet sites are currently reporting
temperatures mainly 31 to 34 degrees across central KY. Earlier
drizzle, sprinkles, and snow flurries have diminished across the
area, with only a few returns still evident on radar at this time.
Did get a recent report of "a very fine snow falling in Georgetown,
KY," so will keep scattered sprinkles and flurries in the grids
through 02/06Z.

Surface high pressure will slowly amble eastward over the TN Valley
through tomorrow as a weak low pressure system tracks east from the
Central Plains across the Wabash Valley. We`ll see an increase in
mid cloud cover by tomorrow morning, but we can look forward to a
dry Thursday. Temperatures will remain relatively cool with morning
lows in the mid 20s and afternoon highs in the low 40s.

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 322 PM EST Wed Jan 1 2025

Thursday Night through Saturday Night...

A quick moving clipper system is forecast to swing through the
northern Ohio Valley Thursday night and into Friday morning. Initial
model proximity soundings show a rather dry low-level atmosphere in
place early in the evening, but we should see adequate moisture move
into the column by late evening.  However, this moisture then moves
east rather quickly and we`re only left with some shallow moisture
within the DGZ to produce some light snow and/or flurries.  The best
chance for these light snows and flurries would be along and north
of the I-64 corridor.  A few tenths of an inch of snow accumulation
could occur in the heaviest showers.  A light dusting of snow on
elevated surfaces could occur for the Friday morning commute, but
overall impacts look to be rather limited in KY, with higher impacts
to our north and northeast.

After our clipper heads off to the east, we`ll see a brief period of
ridging work into the region which will provide dry conditions for
much of mid-late Friday through late Saturday night.  Highs Friday
will be in the 34-39 degree range with overnight lows in the upper
teens to around 20.  Highs on Saturday will be in the 30-35 degree
range with lows Saturday night dropping back into the upper teens and
lower 20s.

Sunday through Wednesday...

     SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM TO IMPACT THE REGION SUNDAY AND
MONDAY....

Forecast confidence continues to increase in terms that a
significant winter storm will affect the Ohio Valley in the Sunday
and Monday time frame.  What continues to be uncertain is the
eventual evolution and track of this system which will largely
affect precipitation types and amounts for the area.  I fully expect
that further forecast convergence on a common solution will occur in
the late Thursday/early Friday time frame as the system of note
moves into the North American RAOB network.

As of this writing, we actually have fairly remarkable agreement
within the global synoptic models here with this system tracking
through the Ohio Valley in the Sunday/Monday time frame.  We still
have some minor timing issues, but the overall temporal spread has
decreased quite a bit in the last 24 hours.  The overall spatial
track spread has continued to decrease as well.  The Euro and
Canadian tracks are similar with a low track from roughly Hickman,
KY east-northeast to Pikeville, KY.  The GFS is similar, though its
solution is a bit weaker than the Euro/GFS.

Our current multi-model consensus suggests the following evolution.
Precipitation looks to break out within a warm advective scheme
Sunday morning as the surface low moves into southwest MO.  The pre-
existing cold air mass is not overly deep, but will be deep enough
to support snow at precipitation onset.  A persistent northeasterly
wind and some wetbulbing may keep the air sufficiently cold to keep
snow going through mid-morning.  However, increasing southwesterly
flow ahead of the system will transport not only copious moisture
northward, but also a surge of warmer air that will move into the
region aloft first, and then eventually down to the surface.  This
would result in a precipitation change from snow over to a mix of
snow/sleet/freezing rain and plain rain.  Much of Kentucky will be
in the so called "battle zone" where mixed precipitation is expected
to occur.  Further north, mainly in areas north of the Ohio River,
the cold air is likely to be of sufficient depth to keep the precip
mostly snow.

At this time range, forecast confidence on how far north the warmer
air will get or what the overall thermal profile will look like
across much of Kentucky remains rather low.  Model soundings suggest
that a nasty mix of freezing rain, sleet, and snow may occur over
much of the northern half of KY, with more of a freezing rain/cold
rain over the southern half of the state.  What concerns me here is
that the battle of stronger warm advection aloft, along with an
intensifying surface thermal gradient may lead to a stronger area of
frontogenesis across the region where banded heavy precipitation may
occur.  In our case here, there is an increasing probability of a
corridor of significant icing that may occur somewhere in KY. Taking
a multi-model consensus here would roughly place this zone along and
just north of the Western KY and Bluegrass Parkways.  Such a
scenario where freezing rain becomes the dominant type could lead to
major issues with travel and infrastructure.  On the other hand, a
slightly cooler solution could produce more sleet and alleviate the
heavy icing threat.  As the storm system pulls east Sunday night and
Monday, colder air will work into the region rather quickly changing
the mixed precipitation over to all snow before ending.

So as of now, significant amounts of wintry precipitation are likely
in the Sunday and Monday time frame.  Negative impacts to travel and
infrastructure will be possible.  It remains too early to even
remotely speculate on snow and ice amounts.  Instead, residents of
southern Indiana and central Kentucky should monitor the latest
forecasts and prepare for a winter storm late this weekend.  Should
future forecasts continue to trend in their current directions,
Winter Storm Watches will be needed by Friday.

For Tuesday and Wednesday, a very cold and well advertised airmass
will work into the eastern US.  This cold is likely to last for some
time across the Ohio Valley and the eastern US as the teleconnection
patterns favor it.  As to how cold it could become, that will be
dependent on our eventual snow depth and ice from the late weekend
storm system.   For now we`ll be going with highs in the 20s and
overnight lows in the upper single digits to the lower teens.  These
temperatures could be just as big of a headline as the winter storm
over the weekend if significant icing occurs and power outages
become widespread because of icing.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SATURDAY/...
Issued at 654 PM EST Wed Jan 1 2025

VFR conditions are likely. BKN stratus at 035 to 040 will be common
early in the period, with mainly SCT mid/highs clouds by mid to late
Thu morning. Westerly winds will diminish late this evening with sfc
high pressure building east across the Mid-South. Light SW winds
develop on Thursday with thickening mid-level clouds Thu afternoon
and evening ahead of the next weather system. This system will bring
light snow to the terminals beyond this forecast period (late Thu
night and Fri morning).
