We have now moved into the next phase of our self-proclaimed &#8221; wild weekend of weather&#8221;. Old man winter has taken control of things, giving us a mixed bag of precipitation, leading to some slick roads across Kentucky.<\/p>\n<p>The day starts with the cold taking hold as temps drop into the 20s for the entire state. That cold air will do a couple of things. First, it will likely cause all that standing water to instantly freeze up. It&#8217;s also leading to a period of sleet, snow and freezing rain rolling eastward. Those two in tandem will lead to slick travel across the region.<\/p>\n<p>Your tracking toys in a bit, but let&#8217;s talk quickly about the week ahead.<\/p>\n<p>I am focusing on two potential systems with the first arriving Thursday. This looks fairly weak at the moment, but it can bring some rain to light snow with it&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/?attachment_id=21331\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-21331\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21331\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/GFS-2-15.png\" alt=\"gfs-2\" width=\"1145\" height=\"482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/GFS-2-15.png 1145w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/GFS-2-15-300x126.png 300w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/GFS-2-15-768x323.png 768w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/GFS-2-15-1024x431.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1145px) 100vw, 1145px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Flakes flying a few days before Christmas?

I think it comes down to whether or not this low cuts off to our south or not. If it does, then it would have a lesser chance of brining winter weather with it.
