Good afternoon, everyone. The bluegrass state is turning into the proverbial frozen tundra as arctic cold winds send wind chill readings into the danger category. Light snow and flurries are flying, with a greater swath of light snow rolling in tonight.

Here’s a breakdown of how we roll with this:

  • Light snow showers and flurries will coat roads from time to time today as wind chills stay in the single digits.
  • Another arctic front works in tonight with a period of powdery snow becoming likely. Light accumulations are likely and that will cause travel issues to develop. Winds will blow the snow around.
  • Bitterly cold temps blow in with this system with actual lows ranging from -5 to 5 above in many areas.
  • Wind chills continue to be the main story. It’s going to feel like -5 to -20 at times from late tonight through Thursday morning. That’s some dangerous cold that will lead to issues if you’re outside for too long.
  • Another period of light snow may show up Wednesday night, especially in the west.
  • Overrunning snow and wintry precipitation is possible Thursday night and Friday as the bitter cold pulls out of town.

I’ll drop by for another update this evening. Until then, here are your tracking tools for the afternoon…
