Good Thursday, everyone. Snow is working quickly across southeastern Kentucky to begin the day. This is part of the big southern snowstorm that’s just grazing the state with accumulating snows. Arctic air is pouring in behind this storm and will be with us to close out the month of February.

Snow showers and flurries will fly around the state today as the arctic air moves in. Temps will drop into the 20s, but gusty winds will make it feel much colder than that. Temps by Friday morning will range from the single digits in the north to the teens in the south.

Friday is a cold day with upper teens to low 20s for highs in parts of the region. That’s just absurd for this time of year.

Our weekend starts cold and ends ugly. Saturday should start with a few single digits with 20s during the afternoon as clouds increase. Those clouds are ahead of a very active and ugly setup from Sunday through the first week of March.

A wintry mix is possible on Sunday as the precipitation moves in…

From there, a couple of systems will impact our region through the middle of next week. These will roll right across the region and each could bring some interesting weather. A temp spike is possible ahead of each of them with heavy rain and thunder. Temps then drop behind each of them with some wintry mix. Regardless… the second half of the week features the return of very cold air…

Nothing says spring like below freezing temps all the way into the Gulf of Mexico! 😉

Let’s do some winter weather tracking to start the day…
