Good Wednesday, folks. Arctic air is pouring into the bluegrass state today and this will bring dangerously cold wind chill readings our way. The leading edge of this air is likely to touch off a period of snow showers and squalls early this morning.<\/p>\n

This isn’t a lot of snow by any means\u00a0and anything that falls will likely blow around. The timing of these snow showers will be just in time for the morning commute for some areas. We may see just enough to cause some travel issues at times. The greatest concentration of these snow showers may wind up along and south of Interstate 64.<\/p>\n

That will quickly move away, but a band of snow showers may then set up from Lake Michigan into parts of northeastern Kentucky late today…<\/p>\n

I have no changes on the temps. Readings will drop through the teens and wind up in the single digits by the early evening. Lows tonight will then drop to -5 to 5 as gusty winds continue. Those winds will help push our wind chill numbers deep into the negative range. -10 to -20 numbers will likely show up at times from late afternoon into Thursday morning. For that reason, a Wind Chill Advisory has been issued for many areas…<\/p>\n

Highs Thursday will only be in the mid and upper teens as clouds increase late in the day. Those clouds are ahead of another arctic front that slides in here by early Friday. That may bring another round of snow showers and flurries our way. Highs Friday will be in the upper teens to low 20s. Lows by Saturday morning will likely fall deep into the single digits. Some areas could even flirt with negative numbers, again. Wind chill readings late Friday into early Saturday will be below zero for many.<\/p>\n

A mess of a storm system will likely follow all this up late this weekend into early next week. We have plenty of time to watch that. For now, let’s track the snow showers that kick off our arctic attack…<\/p>\n
