Good Tuesday, everyone. After a huge temp swing out there today, another blast of winter weather is on the way later tonight into Wednesday. This is likely to put a light snowfall down for parts of the Commonwealth for the 4th time already this winter.
Here’s a quick breakdown:
TODAY
- Temps spike deep into the 60s across the east and southeast. I can’t rule out 70 in a few spots. Wow!
- At the same time, a cold front is pushing into the west with temps dropping into the low 40s. Wow!
- Winds are gusty as showers break out and roll through from southwest to northeast.
TONIGHT
- Cold air crashes in from west to east with temps falling to the upper 20s and low 30s
- A band of light snow develops in the west and rolls eastward by morning.
- That band thickens the farther east it gets as low pressure develops just to our east.
- Light snow is likely across the eastern half of the state by morning.
WEDNESDAY
- Light snow starts the day in eastern Kentucky.
- Light accumulations of an inch or two will be possible. There is the chance of a touch more if things come together better than I currently think.
- This band of light snow moves out fairly quickly with skies even brightening for a bit.
- A potent upper-level disturbance then moves in during the afternoon and evening.
- That brings streaks of light snow and snow showers zipping from west to east. There’s even a snow squall possible.
- These hit and run streaks can put down some light accumulations as they move through.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT
- A Few flurries continue to fly
- Temps reach the upper teens in some areas.
- Wind chills by Thursday morning can hit the single digits.
The latest Canadian Model family continues to be the most aggressive…
The GFS is now team Canada as it shows something similar…
The EURO is coming around to a light snowfall in the southeast with some coatings across the rest of the region…
Given the little change in the models, I’m not changing this call map…
I’ll update that a few times before a Final Call For Snowfall later today.
Temps are cold with this, but nothing out of the ordinary through the end of the week. Another system then zips through here over the weekend with a cold rain…
I’ll through you a few more updates later today. Until then, here are your tracking tools to keep you company…

Have a terrific Tuesday and take care.
