Some serious action coming to your area. We are seeing that strange temperature gradient again traveling from Texas/Oklahoma on up to Michigan. This then moves to the east. Basically, a cold Pacific (La Nina) is duking it out with a mild Atlantic. And those of you caught in the middle of that fight might end up being the biggest losers. Lots of subtropical moisture traveling up into the lower Midwest. Pretty strange watching the northern tropics flowing west to east. Is that normal for winter ?
Back in the late-60's and early-70's, when my family first moved to Kentucky, there were a number of winters like this. There would be a whole lot of moisture coming in, with some years getting a lot of rain and others getting tons of snow.
So far this year, we haven't been hit by a lot of snow, but they are currently tracking a massive tornado supercell that is making a beeline straight for Louisville. It pounded Christian, Ohio, Breckenridge, Grayson, and Meade Counties and is now clipping the northern edge of Hardin County (ie Fort Knox) before heading up into Louisville. There are reports of multiple tornadoes associated with this cell and of homes and other structures suffering massive damage all along the storm's path.
There is another squall line that is coming in that is supposed to hit us sometime around 2 in the morning, but they don't yet know exactly where it will be heading.
