Good afternoon, folks. It’s a pretty nasty looking and feeling day with rain, gusty winds and chilly temps in control. As we head into the evening, the numbers get even colder with a few flakes of snow possible across central and eastern Kentucky. That will be followed up by a winter storm system moving our way early next week.

As always, we start with the precious present. Steady rains continue to push across the east and will slowly end later this afternoon. A gusty shower or sprinkle will still be possible into the early evening…

A weak system dives in here this evening into the wee hours of Saturday morning, bringing the potential for a few flurries or a light snow shower.

Saturday continues to look very cold temps in the 20s to start, with wind chills deep in the teens. Sunshine won’t do much for us in the afternoon with highs in the 30s.

Our next weather maker is a developing winter storm by Monday and Tuesday.This continues to take on the look of a snowfall for parts of Kentucky and surrounding states. Both the GFS and Canadian are showing a swath of decent snows on top of us…

I will have a “best chance for snowfall” map on WKYT-TV starting at 4pm. I will also have an update later today, so check back.

Enjoy the rest of your day.
