Good evening, folks. Winds are the player of the moment but the wind chills take center stage late tonight into Thursday. Throw in a quick hitting round of snow showers and squalls, and you have a very wintry setup during this time.
The front doesn’t surge into the state until after midnight and will touch off a band of rain showers ahead of it and snow showers behind it. With crashing temps behind the front, we will need to watch for slick spots developing.
In terms of snowfall, don’t expect much. Some hit and run coatings are possible…
The future radar from the Hi Res NAM shows our band of snow showers and squalls with some lighter snow showers…
Wind chills continue to be the story with wind chills dropping to near zero or even a digit or two below, especially in central and northern Kentucky. This animation goes from Midnight to 9am…
The extreme cold goes away this weekend as a big rain maker rolls in here from late Sunday into Monday with another system developing behind it. Depending on the the track it takes, rain and/or snow would be possible with that by the middle of next week…
I leave you with your arctic front tracking tools…

Have a wonderful evening and take care.
