What happened

The episode as NWS LMK wrote it up.

A snowstorm developed during the early morning hours Friday March 7th. Snow and some sleet fell intermittently over the next 28 hours. Snowfall totals were highest along the Ohio River, where accumulations varied from 10 to 12 inches. Farther south...snow started later in the day and accumulations were lower. Snow totals varied widely across the Bluegrass region, ranging from 8 inches in Frankfort to less than 4 inches south and east of Lexington. Sleet with occasional thunder fell across the eastern Bluegrass region late on the 7th...with 1 to 2 inches of sleet accumulating. Across south central Kentucky, snowfall ranged from over 8 inches north of Bowling green to just under 4 inches along the Kentucky-Tennessee border.

.SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT)...

...MAJOR WINTER STORM TO IMPACT THE AREA THROUGH SATURDAY...

ALTHOUGH THE WINTER STORM WARNING IS IN EFFECT...SNOW WILL TAKE A
WHILE LONGER TO DEVELOP THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT. ONSET WILL BE
LATER THIS MORNING OVER THE WEST...AND THEN THIS AFTERNOON
ELSEWHERE.

DEEP UPPER TROUGH OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS IS CURRENTLY DEVELOPING
A SURFACE LOW OVER THE SOUTHERN GULF STATES. THIS LOW WILL TRACK
NORTHEASTWARD JUST EAST OF THE APPALACHIANS AND WILL HIT US WITH A
SIGNIFICANT WINTER PUNCH...ESPECIALLY FROM FRIDAY EVENING THROUGH
MIDDAY SATURDAY.

CURRENTLY...UPSTREAM RADAR IMAGERY SHOWS SNOWFALL IN SE MISSOURI
AND SOUTHERN ILLINOIS. IT WILL TAKE A WHILE FOR OUR REGION TO
SATURATE...WITH LIGHT PRECIPITATION EXPECTED THROUGH MIDDAY TODAY.
OUR SOUTHEAST CWA WILL PROBABLY START AS RAIN...WITH A RAIN/SLEET
MIX MAINLY FROM BOWLING GREEN TO LEXINGTON...AND ALL SNOW
NORTHWEST OF A HARTFORD TO HODGENVILLE TO FRANKFORT LINE. MINOR
ACCUMULATIONS ARE POSSIBLE TODAY...WITH POSSIBLY AN INCH OR TWO OF
SNOW/SLEET ACCUMS MAINLY OVER THE NWRN HALF OF THE CWA THROUGH
THIS AFTERNOON.

MAIN SHOW HOWEVER WILL BE THIS EVENING WHEN COMPLETE SATURATION
TAKES PLACE...WITH THE SOUTHEAST CWA CHANGING OVER TO A SLEET/SNOW
MIX AND ALL OTHER AREAS BECOMING MODERATE-HEAVY SNOW. GFS AND NAM
SOUNDINGS INDICATE THAT THE HEAVIEST SNOW WILL COME AFTER 00Z.
BECAUSE OF THE WARMER TEMPS OVER THE SERN CWA AND LATTER SNOW
ONSET...WENT WITH AN ADVISORY OVER MONROE... CUMBERLAND...
CLINTON...AND RUSSELL COUNTIES FROM 5PM EST ON. EVERYWHERE ELSE A
WINTER STORM WARNING IS IN EFFECT...WITH HEAVY SNOW AND SOME SLEET
BEING THE PRECIPITATION TYPES.

THE HEAVIEST SNOW LOOKS TO OCCUR BETWEEN 03-15Z ROUGHLY FROM
ELIZABETHTOWN NORTHEASTWARD TO LOUISVILLE...FRANKFORT AND TO
LEXINGTON. SOUNDINGS AND TIME-HEIGHT CROSS-SECTIONS AGREE WITH
HPCS HEAVY SNOW SWATH...HOWEVER WE FEEL HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE
POSSIBLE THAN WHAT HPC IS INDICATING. THE HEAVIEST SNOW SWATH HAS
ALSO SHIFTED EASTWARD WITH THE MODELS TRACKING THE LOW FURTHER
EAST...WHICH GIVES AN 8-12 INCH SNOW SWATH FROM E-TOWN NEWD TO
NEW CASTLE...INCLUDING LOUISVILLE METRO. BECAUSE OF THE FURTHER
EASTWARD MOVEMENT...THINK THE NORTHERN BLUEGRASS WILL ALSO SEE
HIGHER AMOUNTS THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT. SO LOCATIONS NORTH OF A
LEBANON TO RICHMOND LINE MAY SEE 6-10 INCHES OF SNOW BY MIDDAY
SATURDAY...INCLUDING LEXINGTON METRO. HOWEVER ONSET FOR THIS WILL
BE LATER THAN LOCATIONS FURTHER WEST SO DELAYED THE WSW ONSET
UNTIL NOON EST. FOR LOCATIONS FROM OHIO COUNTY KY NEWD TO JEFF
COUNTY INDIANA...6-10 INCHES OF SNOW IS ALSO POSSIBLE BUT THINK
THAT IF THE LOW TRACKS EASTWARD MORE...THOSE AMOUNTS WILL BE LESS
ESPECIALLY OVER KY. FOR DUBOIS...PERRY...CRAWFORD...AND ORANGE
COUNTIES IN INDIANA...MUCH LESS SNOW IS EXPECTED BUT WILL KEEP THE
WSW OUT WITH 4-6 INCHES OF SNOW POSSIBLE. FINALLY...OUR SWRN CWA
COULD SEE A FEW HOURS OF HEAVY SNOW AS WELL...WITH WARNING
CRITERIA BEING POSSIBLE AS WELL. FROM LOGAN COUNTY ENEWD TO LINCOLN
COUNTY KY...INCLUDING BOWLING GREEN...4-6 INCHES OF SNOW/SLEET
ACCUM IS POSSIBLE BY SATURDAY MIDDAY. THINK THEIR ONSET IS LATER
THOUGH...SO DID NOT START THE WSW UNTIL NOON EST TODAY.

SNOWFALL FROM THE WRAP-AROUND TROWAL ON SATURDAY WILL MOVE FROM
WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE AREA...SO TAPERED POPS IN THE AFTERNOON.
GUSTY NW WINDS WILL LEAD TO WHITE OUT CONDITIONS AT TIMES ON
SATURDAY...SO TRAVEL WILL BE VERY TREACHEROUS FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH
SATURDAY. HAVE ALL POPS ENDING BY 00Z SUNDAY...WITH FLURRIES
POSSIBLE OVER THE NERN CWA SATURDAY NIGHT. WITH EXPECTED SNOW ON
THE GROUND...REALLY LOWERED TEMPS SATURDAY NIGHT TO THE LOWER
TEENS NE TO AROUND 20 SW.

.LONG TERM (SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)...

NO CHANGES MADE. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION BELOW.

MEAN LONGWAVE TROUGH SETTLES OVER THE ERN CONUS THROUGH TUESDAY.
WITHIN THIS FLOW...A COUPLE SHORTWAVES WILL MAKE THEIR WAY ACROSS
THE REGION ALTHOUGH MODELS DIFFER IN TIMING...RH...AND INTENSITY.
THE FIRST CLIPPER TYPE SYSTEM LOOKS TO BE SUNDAY NIGHT. GEM/GFS/
ECMWF ALL DEPICT THIS FIRST WAVE WHICH IS MOISTURE STARVED BUT STILL
LOOKS TO HAVE SOME LIGHT QPF AMOUNTS. WILL ADD SLIGHT CHC IN THE S
AND LOW CHC POPS IN THE N FOR RAIN OR SNOW SINCE TEMPS WILL BE
BORDER LINE AT LEAST EARLY IN THE EVENING.

NEXT SHORTWAVE LOOKS TO PASS THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT ALTHOUGH BY
THIS TIME THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT MODEL DIFFERENCES IN EWD PROGRESSION
OF THE WRN CONUS RIDGE. SO ECMWF DROPS THE TRACK THROUGH THE MIDWEST
WHILE THE GFS TAKES THE SHORTWAVE THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES. BECAUSE
OF UNCERTAINTY WILL CONTINUE THIS PERIOD DRY.

TEMPS WILL BE WARMING BY THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK WITH HIGHS IN
THE 50S BY TUES/WED.

&&

.AVIATION (12Z TAFS)...

ONSET OF PRECIPITATION HAS BEEN SOMEWHAT SLOW TO MOVE INTO THE
REGION. AT 11Z RAIN WAS REPORTED AT BWG WITH SOME SNOW MOVING INTO
SOUTHERN INDIANA. PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE IN THIS
MORNING BEGINNING AS A PERIOD OF RAIN AT LEX AND SNOW AT SDF. THE
PRECIPITATION WILL CHANGE TO ALL SNOW AT BWG AND LEX BY EARLY
AFTERNOON. THE SNOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE END OF THIS FORECAST
PERIOD. CIGS HAVE DROPPED INTO THE MVFR AND IFR CATEGORY AND WE
EXPECT THEM TO STAY IN THIS RANGE FOR THE REST OF THE DAY WITH IFR
CIGS AND VSBYS TONIGHT.

EITHER SIDE OF THIS REGION...LARGE AMOUNTS OF SNOWFALL WILL STILL
BE POSSIBLE...INCLUDING THE NORTHERN BLUEGRASS AND LEXINGTON
