Our current storm system is slowly pulling away with better weather coming up for the next few days. That changes later this week as some real deal December air moves our way. Will that continue into Christmas week?<\/p>\n<p>A cold front arrives late Wednesday and that allows for temps to spike ahead of it. Showers move in late in the day with winds increasing, too. A wave of low pressure develops along the front with a cold rain into Thursday morning. Temps Thursday then drop as the day wears on and a few flurries could fly by the evening.<\/p>\n<p>A northwesterly flow is likely to give us some flurries or out and out snow showers on Friday&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/GFS-217.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16675\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/GFS-217.png\" alt=\"GFS 2\" width=\"571\" height=\"479\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/GFS-217.png 571w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/GFS-217-300x252.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 571px) 100vw, 571px\" \/><\/a>The GFS even tries to indicate an evening rooftop dusting&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/GFS-39.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16676\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/GFS-39.png\" alt=\"GFS 3\" width=\"527\" height=\"409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/GFS-39.png 527w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/GFS-39-300x233.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 527px) 100vw, 527px\" \/><\/a>Friday into Saturday are cold with wind chills coming into play.
