AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Jackson KY
313 PM EST Thu Jan 22 2026
.KEY MESSAGES...
- A major winter storm system will bring significant snow and ice
accumulations this weekend.
- Colder weather returns tonight and lasts through next week.
&&
.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday night)
Issued at 313 PM EST THU JAN 22 2026
A huge upper trough persists over central and eastern North
America, with a series of surface cold fronts beneath it bringing
colder air southeast over the eastern CONUS. One such front passed
through the JKL forecast area this morning. There was no
significant moisture present with its passage, but cold air
advection continues this afternoon in its wake. High pressure
building in from the west will ease cold air advection tonight as
winds die off. Along with mainly clear skies lasting into
tonight, it will allow for noticeably colder low temperatures.
Another cold front currently over IA will pass through our area on
Friday morning. It will once again not have any moisture to work
with, but it will bring in even colder air as we move into the
weekend. Meanwhile, an upper low currently off the southern CA
coast will drop further southeast toward Baja California as
another impulse drops south over the western CONUS in the large
scale trough. Geopotential height rises will occur over the
southeast CONUS in advance of these features, flattening the flow
aloft over the southeast CONUS and allowing high clouds to
advance in from the west on Friday night as a precursor of the
weekend`s winter storm.
.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 313 PM EST THU JAN 22 2026
An updated long term discussion will be sent shortly.
