Good Friday to one and all. A developing winter storm is taking aim at the Ohio Valley this weekend and will impact our weather here in Kentucky. How great of an impact depends on where you live, with northern parts of the state trying to make it two weekends in a row with heavy snow.

Before we get to the Sunday part of the storm… we have some stuff to go through in the shorter term.

A few clouds will roll into town today as temps hit the upper 30s and low 40s. A touch of light rain or a mix will be possible across the west late in the day. That action will increase as it works across the southern half of the state later tonight into Saturday morning.

The NAM is showing rain and snow across the south and southeast tomorrow morning…

Could there be a ribbon of sticking snow for a few spots in the southeast? Hmmm… possible. The rest of the state will see a mix of sun and clouds with temps in the 40s and just a small chance for a shower or two.

The main storm arrives late Saturday night into Sunday. An area of low pressure will track into the state and will bring a lot of moisture with it. The storm will slowly give way to a stronger low to our east and this will allow for much colder air to surge in from the north and west.

After breaking down each model I can get my hand son, here’s the areas most at risk…

Special Areas to the north of the Ohio River have the highest chance at picking up the most snow. The risk for heavy snow will lessen the farther south we go. Keep in mind… that’s certainly not set in stone as we still have 2 days to go before the storm moves in. The map is just a guide to the areas most at risk from 2 days out.

Regardless of whether or not the heavy snow axis sets up around here… everyone will get in on wraparound snows Sunday night and early Monday. That could put down accumulations for some. Additional rounds of snow showers will be with us for much of next week as the cold continues to be king.

I will have updates later today. Make it a great Friday and take care.
