We are putting the wraps on what has been an incredible month of March across Kentucky. It&#8217;s been a very cold month, with record setting snows and a lot of rain. As we get ready to flip the calendar to April on Easter Sunday, there isn&#8217;t a ton of change in the overall pattern.<\/p>\n<p>This, obviously, spells bad news for spring lovers, as we have a while before we can get into true spring.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s start with today&#8217;s weather then roll forward. Highs hit the mid and upper 60s in the east and southeast, with those numbers scaling back toward the north and west. That&#8217;s because another cold front is moving into this region, with clouds and showers increasing later this afternoon&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/sirocco.accuweather.com\/nx_mosaic_640x480_public\/sir\/inmaSIRKY_.gif\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That action will then continue into tonight, as a cold front slows down on top of us. That can keep a few showers going in the south and southeast early Easter Sunday morning, but the big news comes later in the day. This is when a wave of low pressure develops and quickly rolls eastward along the front.<\/p>\n<p>Rain and a swath of snow develops by evening and races eastward across Kentucky. The best chance for snow is across the northern half of the state&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/?attachment_id=29352\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-29352\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-29352\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Special-6.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"873\" height=\"453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Special-6.png 873w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Special-6-300x156.png 300w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Special-6-768x399.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 873px) 100vw, 873px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Light, slushy accumulations will be possible, especially on grassy and elevated surfaces in the far north.
