10:30pm Wow is all i can say after looking at the latest run of the NAM model. It shows a pounding snow for areas along and north of Interstate 64 from late Friday through Saturday. The model is spitting out a foot of snow in some areas. That does NOT mean it's right. I will post the map and my latest call for snowfall coming in my late night post so check back. Take care. 8pm Update Good Thursday evening everyone. Winter Storm Alert mode is well underway for most of the tri state and we are watching to see just how far south and west that Alert will encompass. The newest runs of the GFS and NAM both rolled in with colder solution as they are both now sensing they were overdeveloping the lead low into the Tennessee Valley. The weaker that low... the less warm air advection into the area.
6pm Update Hey gang... I am just dropping by to let you know I will have a full update for you coming up between 7 and 8 so make sure you check back. I will be showing the newest snowfall maps from the NAM and GFS as both runs came in colder with our storm. Take care. 1pm Update Good afternoon gang and thanks for dropping by. I don't have a lot of time, but I wanted to make sure we got a first call map out to you can get an idea of what I am thinking in terms of snow. I will have a more in depth discussion coming later today as my time is short right now. Until then... have fun tracking the storm moving our way... PREVIOUS UPDATE Good Thursday everyone. We continue with our Winter Storm Threat for much of the tri state for Friday into Saturday as yet another storm rolls our way. As we have been talking about... this one is very complicated because of the old fence setting up across the region. This is really the first time this winter we have had to worry about the whole rain verses snow thing and we will try to break it down in greater detail. |

Thanks for putting so much information out there. Posted by: Ruby Sue Chris, you need to go squirt Tony with a water gun for that 11 o'clock forecast, as it was the most depressing experience I have had in a while. Send us snow, not rain!

Posted by: Becky I love that your blog is up for days before the event and you aren't afraid to show us how things change and how your forecast must adjust...I mean it is called a "forecast"! I'd much rather have that than a blog the day before an event! Thanks Chris! Posted by: Laiken Watson Hey Christ, this storm is shaping up and thanks to you we know ahead of time to prepare if necessary.. Ummm, kinda hoping school is out tomorrow(Symes Valley) haha..

Weather always fascinates me and its great to always have a reliable source such as yours to keep me up to date. Posted by: Deana The weather service is predicting and inch of rain here tomorrow. Could this mean high water before the snow???? Posted by: emmalynn Thanks Chris for everything and be sure to bring some heavy heavy snow to charleston...im finally off work during a "big snow" and i want to enjoy it...i love to cuddle up on the couch with hot chocolate and watch the snow fall outside...: ) Posted by: Braxton ill take 8 inches Posted by: Maryjo It sure will be interesting tomorrow and this weekend. Have gone to the grocery store for snacks and milk and bread. Let, it snow! Crossing my fingers the electricity does not go off. Spent 2 weeks in OKC without power one year - was real rough. Posted by: seth mitchell 8 inches sounds good to me. Posted by: chris Its going to miss KY and just a bit of snow in wv. The big snow will be in DC Posted by: krrrge update ur blog chris, we r dying to know whats gonna happen Posted by: Amy Hey Chris, just wanted to say I love the fact that you take time to do these blogs! They are a big hit at my work! Love the snow days! Posted by: tp i also have tickets to the monster truck jam for saturday evening will we b able to make it? if it gets to bad will they cancel or postpone it? Posted by: toney hi from the town of wayne, it is 7:50pm and currently cloudy and 37 degrees. the 18z of the gfs for what it is worth shows a lot of liquid coming in here late friday through saturday evening with the temps at or below freezing to me that spells trouble with snow and or freezing or sleet. my prediction for what it is worth is for another 6 solid inches for the town of wayne but it will be a heavy wet snow with ice under the snow from all the rain that we will get on friday, maybe an inch or so in a few spots. last weeks snow fall was a dry powdery snow. 6 inches of wet snow would equal 12 inches of dry snow relatively speaking. by the way a giant hello to chris bailey and to jerry the snow man of mingo county where when all is said and done, you will be looking at about 8 inches of snow in the southern coal fields. but then again what do us amatures know about the weather. leave it to the pros like chris, tony, josh and murina. bye and god bless you all. Posted by: Jill We're waiting.... It's 8pm :) Posted by: Westwood Snow Lover Let it snow,Let it snow,let it snow!!!! Posted by: Green Alumni You know the snow if on the way, because the grocery stores are packed ! Posted by: michael Will this be a memorable winter chris Posted by: Bea Chris all I can say to your blog and your weather info is YUCK Posted by: Kim I am addicted to your blog and have several teacher friends checking it out!

Posted by: Snowlover11021 Colder means more snow or less snow? Can someone answer this for me? Posted by: Kasey YAY SNOW!!!!!Chris you are the best weather man!!!!!!!!!!

You tell it like it is with no guessing about what's coming! Keep up the good work. Posted by: Mendy Chris,we love ur blog!send Paintsville at least 6to8inches.... Posted by: Ryan yay update in an hour or so... Posted by: Anonymous We can do nothing about the weather. If we get rain, sleet, ice, or snow, it is out of our control. We just have to make ourselves comfortable, and appreciated the fact that we live in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. We make lemonade from lemons, so just make snow cream from snow. Posted by: waterford, ohio chris bailey is one of my friends she really wants u to come to our school bye Posted by: bailey chris chris chris please please please come to our class in waterford elementary we want to hear you tell us about the weather and we all hope that the weather turns all to snow in waterford in ohio so please please please come to our class it would mean a lot and just get us out of class for a wile so you can think about comeing but just please please please come to our class :) please please please come to our class Posted by: Left Out Chris, u never actually answer the questions asked in ur blog. But why isnt NE Kentucky getting the snow like we used to? Did the gravitational pull change or something? We cant buy more than 3 inches around here anymore. Posted by: Debbie Thanks for the update.You do a wonderfull job.Keep up the good work. Posted by: Jim HILARIOUS!! Does the National Weather service realize that a storm is not going to jump an entire county. Take a look at the latest watches and warnings for southern ohio. Lawrence County is surrounded by counties in a Winter Storm Warning. LOL! National Weather service is calling for Sunny and 75* for Lawrence County through Sunday. Posted by: lynnr The NWS stinks no watches or anything up for Charleston Posted by: Staci Why couldn't we have gotten he 15 inches? I'm getting a little jealous.. Maybe we can get in on the other storms coming in and get about a foot :) Keep up the good work. I'm a litle obsesed with your blog and I post it on facebook daily... My friends all call me the weather girl from WSAZ :) Posted by: Anonymous I cant believe their is no watches or anything out for Charleston Posted by: maggie Hey chris i want snow but i dont want to miss school boo! My class loves your blog...lol my teacher wants you to come to our school will you please please please come to our school PLEASE CHRIS BAILEY!!!! Posted by: Portsmouth Have non refundable tickets to the Monster Truck Jam at the Charleston Civic Center for Friday night, am I going to have problems on the drive there? Posted by: Winfield Looks like poor Winfield High School will have to cancel their Winter Formal for the fourth, fifth time?? I have actually lost count on how many different dates they've had. Hang on to those dresses girls! Spring is coming! Posted by: Weather Wow! We have been wathcing this front moving in. The kids are excited because they think they are going to get out of school. Posted by: pj Be careful Barboursville, there's a couple of people on the blog that will attack you for a comment like that lolol but you nailed it...won't hear from NWS in Charleston until it is happening. Posted by: Deb Just found your blog...Have to work Friday and want to find out when the worst part of the day will be? Posted by: Tomcats73 I want spring!!!! We have already had snow and Christmas - it is now time for spring, pleeeeeaaaaasssseeee! Posted by: pj Your handling of a very difficult storm to forecast has been awesome! We all know that in area 20 miles can seem more like 100 miles. The "extra" effort you put into getting it just right is amazing, thank you so much. I have been over on your KY blog, those people love weather!! I have checked out a lot of their links for the maps and discussions and found it fascinating....and I love the format of that blog, do you think we could go to something like that before next winter? I really like being able to comment right under the original comment. Folks if you haven't checked this out you should, it's a really neat set up they have there and those guys are weather crazy lol. I enjoy it. Just watching and waiting to see what happens in the Huntington/Proctorville area and praying this won't turn into an icing event....AccWeathers maps are pointing to that(not that I believe them over our Chris B any day!) Posted by: Jerry Chris, The Weather Channel said that we will have 5 more Storms in the next 16 Days just like we have been having lately. Do you see the same thing ? Posted by: Scott Looks like I won't be going to my parents in Pike County, Ohio this weekend! They said you have been calling for snow for several days, reckon y'all were correct! Posted by: Becki I am confused! Is it going to start this evening/night or tomorrow morning or tomorrow night??? Its important as I need to travel to Wayne County tomorrow a.m. and I really do not want to drive in a mess if it can be avoided. I will prepare to be inside all weekend no problem. BUT,I really want to know a approx idea of when to watch for this storm.?????? Chris?? Anyone??? Posted by: Rick Mohler I Would Like To See A Foot Of Snow But I Guess We Are Not Going To Get That Much Because Some People Say One Thing And Then You Hear A Nother Thing I Would Like To See A Big Snowstrom Wind I Was Little We Got Over A Foot And Half Of Snow And Now You Don't See It Anymore I Miss That I love Driveing In It. Posted by: Joe Yep, I knew we'd end up with about 3 in NE KY Posted by: GO BUCKS! NO MORE SNOW!!!!!!!! Posted by: Debbie A lot of questions on here Chris, here's min, when the hell is it going to quit????Enough already. Posted by: Barboursville I really don't understand the charleston NWS. they must really be snoozing up there or something. they havent issued even a winter weather advisory yet...i mean, c'mon people! Posted by: KK Is this for Thursday night into Friday morning? Posted by: Tamara Thanks for the updates and for your blogs. It makes it so much easier to plan with them expecially with a daughter at WVU. Its nice to read and see that the kids are looking and learning from your blogs. Hope the will learn from the maps and your easy way of explaining them. Thanks again and the Weather Channel will never get you, your viewers will fight them!!! Posted by: Rhonda Thanks for the update and the map. I am so excited I can't stand myself. I will anxiously awaiting your next update. Posted by: NANCY THANKX CHRIS FOR THE UPDATE--YOU ARE GREAT--LET IT SNOW!!!!--PAUL, GET OVER IT! Posted by: Winfield Chris where are you? No update in almost 11 hours! What are you SLEEPING!?!?!? Kidding, of course...rest now, dear boy...I'm sure you'll be up for the next two days at least! Thank you for keeping us so well-informed...I enjoy reading your blog immensely and CAN'T WAIT for the next update! Posted by: Jordan keep up the good work chris...has to be stressful for you right now with this complicated storm.....looking foward for an update sometime this evening!!! bring the snow to gallipolis,OHIO!!!! Posted by: tom no shorts or flip flops Posted by: anonymous can't wait to see what we actually get out of this. our local radio station is saying "a trace of ice with little to no accumulation of snow for tongight and the same thing for friday !" quite a different forcast than wsaz ! I think i will go with WSAZ ! chris is usually pretty accurate . Posted by: JP Never thought I'd say this, but I'm sick of the snow. I really hope this storm doesn't hit. Posted by: Mike "Update....Update....Update....Update" Posted by: Cindy It didn't matter wheather the gronndhog saw his shadow or not the snow is still coming down this week. Posted by: Mimi Chris, my First Graders and I use your blog to learn about predictions. You were right last week, keep up the good work! Posted by: Drew I'm in NW VA and was wondering with all these systems coming through if there's any chance for a thundersnow? I've always been intrigued by them and we almost got one last winter, but didn't happen. Is this just a large storm or will it be powerful enough to possibly create a thundersnow? Posted by: Dennis I'm scheduled to fly out of Tri State airport Sunday morning. what are my chances? Posted by: Jake On the bright side, a February day is one day closer to spring! Posted by: no more snow hey chris do you think this will be a bad storm to be more major than in december 09'? also do you think we will get alot of snow in feb? thanks Posted by: ChrisBailey's #1 Fan We're going on this info being 9 hours old. I have faith Chris is preparing his next update. Posted by: Jeff Looks to me like its gonna be more rain than snow here in Putnam County. Posted by: ready for summer will this be a fast snowfall? and do u think they will be alot of power outs along with this storm?... sounds like yer predicting a doozy snowstorm, might as well hold on tight and buckle down huh.. also i would like to say keep us updated what to expect say late this weekend incase the power goes out if they are any more snow. with the storm threat on monday will that be alot of snowfall to go along with the storm thats coming tomorrow? if so i bet most of the tri-state will be in the dark. Posted by: Kim Hey Chris...the local radio stations are calling for the weather to start here tonight..then sleet and freezing rain to start late..they also said half an inch of ice accumulation possible. Does that sound correct to you? I was hoping for a BIG snow..maybe next week. :) Posted by: Anonymous i predict a less snowy pattern in May Posted by: hope hey i like this blog it keeps me from driving in snowy places and also it keeps me to plan my plans ahead Posted by: Brooke thanks so much for taking the time out to keep us all updated!:) SoI was wondering.. is paintsville really not going to be getting much from this system? Posted by: Wanda Chris, I just wanted to let you know from Lavalette that I am going to my sisters place in Florida for about 10 days. I have been watching the updates and we (4 sisters) have decided to go early (as in this evening)part way due to the updated forecasts. We will probably run into some rain down that way on 75 later. Thanks so much for all you do for us..will miss watching the blog during the snow storms coming our way, but someone please update from Lavalette... Posted by: Paul i hope you're happy Nancy Posted by: DB Huntington never gets the snow, we just get the leftovers. I want the BIG one!! Great job though Chris. Posted by: NANCY WE NEED THE FIRST CALL FOR SNOWFALL--GIVE US AN UPDATE--THANX FOR ALL U DO Posted by: Debbie The second grade class at Genoa Elementary loves your blog and said, "You Rock"! We are getting excited about the snow. Posted by: Jane Click on weather, ya'all. Snow amounts are posted. Posted by: Sheilah I love this blog Chris it keeps me informed. Thanks for taking the time to post it. Posted by: Chad *sigh* Might as well hold on tight for the ride. Everyone stay safe. Posted by: dd who will get the most snow and how much?... Posted by: Scott Thanks again weather Dude! Awesome information for us amateur forcasters! Bring on the snow! Posted by: Carol Chris, I just wanted to say, I love reading your blog. You do a great job!!! The Weather Channel,now comes in #2. Can't wait for updates, on snow storm. Posted by: John Greetings from an Ashland weather fan! Thanks for posting all this data, Chris! Can't wait to see the update this afternoon. Posted by: Snowlover If this wil be a heavy wet snow, I hope for a little accumulation. I want power this weekend. Posted by: Daniel Chris. I asked nicely two days ago for sunshine and baseball. This is clearly the exact opposite. I do hope you come back later with better news. Do you feel this storm could knock out alot of power? Because if at 6:30 on Sunday I don't have power to watch Mr. Manning cement himself in history I'm going to be very displeased. Posted by: Patsy The blog over the next twenty-four hours is sure to be very interesting. Here's hoping that Scioto County still gets in on the heavy snow action! Posted by: Paul Okay, I know I said I wanted some winters like I remembered as a kid, but it can stop now. LOL. Posted by: ChrisBailey's #1 Fan BOOM-SHAKKA-LAKKA! Thanks for the great news Chris! Glad to hear we are cranking in at least some snow instead of all rain. I was hoping to be able to watch my car be buried during this one, but you're gonna have to get your dry ice and aircraft ready for those totals unless something big changes. I have seen snow at 35 degrees this year. What other factors determine if moisture will precip as rain or snow other than temperature? I assume there is at least one other factor or else the forecast at 35 would always be snow. Hopefully Chris can shed a little light on this from his eyes. Posted by: Annette Thanks Chris! You do such a wonderful job. Can't wait for your update. Posted by: Dale J hERER WE GO AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Posted by: cntw8-4snow has sadly had to work every time it has snowed this winter :( Geez. Cntw8-4newboss. Posted by: Billy Thanks so much chris 4 the update! i can't wait 4 all this snow 2 come!!!! Posted by: me Chris, I think your mom needs to wash your mouth out with soap. You keep saying that four letter diry word. Four letter words are a no-no. SNOW has four letters! Get it? Posted by: Mary Jo On the weather station yesterday (they are very seldom right) they said several systems behind this one. Tell me that is not so Chris. Want to go fishing! Posted by: dee in jxn, oh WOOHOO... Posted by: sam well i need a break from winter ,ha ,I like all the seasons ,,but ,,im sure looking forward to some milder weather!!! ya prob,,close to predicting the 4",wet snow mark,,,you do a great job chris ,, injoy your blog,,,ps did ya ask -4 - a raise ,,we got your back ,, Posted by: buffalo Really interesting what will happen, sounds like it's going to be a real mess in Huntington, honestly all snow I can deal with but when the sleet and freezing rain join in....it's a very dangerous situation....thankfully my last day of work is today but alot of people will be out tomorrow on the roads...so please stay safe and check back to see how of the white stuff we are getting. |
