A few snowflakes may be right behind this front as readings drop into the upper 20s and low 30s then hold there all day.<\/p>\n<p>The scenario for the end of the week into the weekend continues to be a little problematic. The late night forecast models are trying to take our Friday\/Saturday system back toward the north and west. I will get to that in a moment, because we need to talk about a light snowfall ahead of that for Thursday into Thursday night.<\/p>\n<p>You can see this system showing up on the NAM&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/?attachment_id=21711\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-21711\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21711\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/NAM.png\" alt=\"nam\" width=\"936\" height=\"855\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/NAM.png 936w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/NAM-300x274.png 300w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/NAM-768x702.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s likely a little underdone with the coverage. In looking at this system, there is a good chance for most of the state to get in on a light snowfall during this time. With temps solidly below freezing, some slick roads would develop.<\/p>\n<p>The Canadian Model also shows the Thursday system very well, and is now trying to pull the second storm farther north and west.
