Good Friday to one and all and welcome to a wintry weekend across the bluegrass state. Accumulating snow and arctic cold temps are blowing into town and this will make it a rough go at times. Cold and snow lovers have been waiting for something like this.

Let’s break it down with the headlines…

– Snow will break out from southwest to northeast today as moisture streaks in ahead of an arctic front.

-There could be a touch of some light rain or a mix at the very onset of things. Temps will fall quickly toward 32 degrees as the precipitation moves in.

– Snow will pick up in coverage and intensity into the evening and overnight hours. Roads will slicken up at this point as temps drop into the 20s by daybreak.

– It is likely to be snowing pretty hard in many areas early Saturday morning. Winds will be kicking up and should blow some of the snow around.

– Northwesterly winds will then cause widespread snow showers and squalls into the day on Saturday… especially in the east. Here’s a look at my latest snow forecast…

– I will have a last call map out later today. Keep in mind those numbers are through Saturday.

– Temps Saturday will fall into the low and middle 20s during the afternoon and then hit the teen by evening. Gusty winds will make it feel like it’s in the single digits at times. Brrr!

– Lows Sunday may fall to near 10 for some areas and then rebound into the upper 20s and low 30s for highs.

– I am targeting the period from Monday night through early Wednesday as one to keep an eye on for a mix and snow.

I will have updates on the snow moving in a little later today, so check back. Don’t forget to hit the tracking tools at the top of the page. Radars, current conditions and live cams will come in handy.

Have a great Friday and take care.
