Winter Storm 2009:

Here are the new updates from HPC ( Hydrological Prediction Center ):

First the color codes for each legend posted:

• RED - HIGH RISK 70% PROBABILITY
• GREEN - MEDIUM RISK 40% PROBABILITY
  
• BLUE - SLIGHT RISK 10% PROBABLITY

Second, This is the Monday probability for .25" of ice. The RED or High Risk extends into Central Kentucky from a starting point of about Richmond, Kentucky towards Paducah. I feel we will see this with warm air aloft will cause this type of precip. Ice storm conditions will develop overnight in Central Kentucky.


This is Tuesday .25" Probability Risk for our area. As you can see Central Kentucky is right in the bullseye for HIGH RISK. The Weather Channel is feeling this event will be more of an ice event as far north as Louisville and is mentioning upto 1 to 1 1/2" of Ice. They have mentioned several times " Crippling ". While I don't believe we will see that much ice and I don't think this will be like the lexington ice storm expect power outages and limbs down.


Having Computer Problems - I will finish my thoughts later on.
