Good afternoon, everyone. Our arctic front is rumbling toward the state and will bring bitterly cold temperatures and some snow to our region. For that reason, much of eastern and southeastern Kentucky is under a Winter Weather Advisory through early Tuesday.

Here’s a look…

This is a light snowfall with a coating to 2″ possible in the advisory region, with a coating to an inch for some west of that. Still, it will be just enough snow to cause travel issues later tonight and early Tuesday.

Here’s your regional radar to track the action in from the west and northwest…

A second arctic boundary moves in Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, bringing a period of light snow with it. Winds will continue to crank as bitterly cold air keeps pushing in. Readings may drop into the single digits during the day Wednesday and then settle toward zero.

Wind chills go well below zero from late Tuesday night through Wednesday…

Again, those are some dangerous numbers showing up.

As the cold starts to ease on Friday, some overrunning winter weather shows up across the region. This will lead us into a small break this weekend, but the cold crashes back in next week.

I will have another update later this evening, so check back. Make it a good one and take care.
