Good afternoon everyone. A WINTER STORM WATCH is in effect for all of central and western Kentucky for Wednesday night into Friday. This is for the arctic wave that will be blasting through here during this time. Here is a look at the counties impacted…



Eastern Kentucky will likely be placed under a watch before it’s over. My take on this system is the same as it has been for a few days now..

– A quick hitting 2″-4″ of snow with the fast moving low itself on Thursday. Locally higher amounts will be possible.

– An additional 1″-3″ with the backlash/northwesterly wind flow Thursday night and Friday. Much higher amounts of 4″+ will be likely across southeastern Kentucky during this time.

– Winds will be a HUGE player with this system and into Friday. Blowing and drifting snow is likely and will create near whiteout conditions at times.

– Wind chills may drop to 0 to -10 Thursday night and Friday.

– Sub 0 lows will be possible this weekend as arctic air settles in over a snowpack.

There you have my quick thoughts on later this week. In the short terms… snow showers are still cranking across much of central and eastern Ky and will drop up to another quick inch in a few spots with 2″ or 3″ in the higher elevations.

I will have more later tonight so check back. Take care.
