AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Paducah KY
540 AM CST TUE JAN 19 2016
.UPDATE...
Updated aviation section for 12z taf issuance
&&
.SHORT TERM...(Today through Wednesday)
Issued at 310 AM CST TUE JAN 19 2016
A rather intense but short duration snow event is in store for
late tonight and Wednesday morning. Thermal profiles from nearly
all the model guidance have trended colder. Snow appears to be the
primary precip type now. QPF from the models and WPC is in good
agreement, generally averaging around four tenths of an inch.
These values should convert to about 4 inches of snow, which is
warning criteria. A Winter Storm Watch will be issued for much of
western Kentucky and far southern Illinois, which is where the
combination of highest qpf and coldest thermal profiles exist.
Along the Tennessee border, a mix of sleet should hold down totals
there. Somewhat lower qpf is indicated over southeast MO,
southwest IN, and parts of southern IL, where advisory level
amounts appear more likely. There will probably be some
adjustments to qpf or precip type with the 12z model runs, which
the day shift can incorporate.
Today will be cold and quiet as high pressure slowly shifts
eastward. Extensive mid and high cloudiness will keep temps from
rising out of the 20s.
Light snow should develop as far southeast as the Ohio River this
evening, then intensify and spread across western Kentucky after
midnight. The snow should readily stick to paved surfaces due to
the recent cold weather. There will likely be a burst of moderate
to heavy snow lasting several hours late tonight. This snow will
be associated with strong isentropic ascent/warm advection, which
is indicated by 850 mb temp and wind fields. The models end the
accumulating snow rather abruptly early Wednesday as the 850 mb
flow veers into the west and weakens.
Typically the precip is not all snow in strong warm advection
scenarios. In this case, cooling associated with the intensity of
the precip and upward vertical motion (dynamic cooling) is
forecast to overcome any warming from advection. Will keep a
mention of sleet in the forecast, especially along the southern
border counties, but freezing rain no longer appears likely.
The combination of snow cover, clouds, and light north winds will
keep temps nearly steady around 30 degrees on Wednesday. Although
most of the accumulating snow will end early in the morning, some
residual light precip may linger through midday.

We might get a dusting, and another dusting later in the week. Typical el nino year IMO, storms miss my area to the south.

Re: Ohio Valley 2015-2016 Winter
Yeah, today's little snow event will be interesting...but the Thursday night-Saturday time-frame is the kicker for here in central/east KY! Could see 12-18 inches of snow, or only 4-6 inches with a lot of sleet/freezing rain. I feel sorry for the forecasters who have to try to put out some kind of forecast today into tonight...

From the post above:
I haven't been out to measure yet, but from what I can see we barely got an inch, maybe two. If I'm reading the hourly reports right, the WFO is showing .13 inches total over the last 6 hours.
Sounds like a bust to me.
More concerned about this:

We have almost 3 inches and the roads are a disaster. Waiting until lunch to drive north into work. 60 minutes just to get to the Ohio River and supposedly Ohio roads are worse.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Paducah KY
551 PM CST WED JAN 20 2016
.UPDATE...
Issued at 551 PM CST WED JAN 20 2016
Updated aviation discussion for 00Z TAFs.
&&
.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday night)
Issued at 242 PM CST WED JAN 20 2016
Models show a low pressure system over northeast Louisiana at 00z
Friday, moving over northern Alabama/northwest Georgia by 18z
Friday. Both GFS and ECMWF have precipitation just skimming our
southern counties on Thursday, where we could see a little wintry
mix Thursday morning, and light rain Thursday afternoon. A mix of
freezing rain, sleet and snow will spread northeast across
Kentucky and adjacent areas of southeast Missouri, southern
Illinois and southwest Indiana Thursday evening. Temperatures will
be below freezing area wide by mid evening, and any precipitation
that falls will quickly accumulate on area roads.
A Winter Storm Watch is in effect from Thursday evening through
Friday evening for all of west Kentucky and New Madrid and
Mississippi counties of southeast Missouri. Areas adjacent to the
watch will only see light accumulations of mainly snow, and far
western and northern portions of the PAH forecast area may see no
precipitation at all.
The wintry mix will change over to snow after midnight across all
but the Pennyrile region of west Kentucky. The Pennyrile will see
a change over to all snow early Friday morning. Snow will
continue much of Friday, tapering off from west to east late
Friday afternoon into Friday evening. Locations in the watch will
see light ice accumulations and 1 to 3 inches of potential snow,
except for the Pennyrile region which could see a tenth or two of
ice accumulation followed by 2 to 4 inches of snow. Some light
snow may linger in west Kentucky after midnight, but any
additional accumulations should be very minor.
Models have gradually been trending a little farther south with
the track of the low, so the current watch reflects the effects of
the latest track. We will have to watch the next few model runs to
see if this trend continues.

Re: Ohio Valley 2015-2016 Winter
I don't think you're going to dodge this one, looks like a heavy snow producer. Our area is forecast to get 3 to 5 inches but I really think it's going south of us and we'll end up with just an inch or so.

I don't know what's coming the 3rd or 4th, but I hope it isn't ice.

looks like the first and the second system right after will be rain for this area, it's the potential system about a week after that we would have to watch.

Re: Ohio Valley 2015-2016 Winter
Tuesday
Showers and possibly a thunderstorm. Cloudy, with a high near 61. South southeast wind 9 to 17 mph, with gusts as high as 23 mph.
Wednesday
Partly sunny, with a high near 40. West northwest wind 9 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 23 mph.
This is why I don't trust forecasts beyond three days. Yesterday they were showing next Wednesday to be in the low 30s, now they're moderating that.
Friday is the day that needs to be calm. I have plans for that day and I needs the roads dry.

The next 8-10 days could be pretty interesting here.

The Euro total accumulated snowfall maps have the CIncy area right around 5" by February 14th. The Euro parallel has us at only 3 inches. Hmmm
