Good afternoon, folks. Snow showers and flurries are finally winding down across the region as we turn our attention toward another light snow maker for Friday. Once we get rid of this, it’s full steam ahead toward a busy first week of March. Spring temps, the potential for strong storms and heavy rainfall will dominate the the opening of the third month of the year.

The light snow maker coming Friday is looking even lighter. One round comes in the morning with another round in the evening. Snowfall totals of coatings to 1″ show up in areas of central Kentucky, with a couple inches possible across southeastern Kentucky. Here’s the GFS:

Saturday continues to look better as temps climb into the upper 30s and low 40s across the central and east, with mid 40s west.

I will have the latest on WKYT-TV starting at 4pm today with another KWC update this evening. Have a good one and take care.
