It&#8217;s another windy and mild ay in the bluegrass state, but things are set to change quickly tonight and Wednesday. That&#8217;s when cold air surges in from the northwest, knocking our temps way, way down. That cold air then sets the stage for a weekend winter weather maker for most of our region.<\/p>\n<p>Temps drop tonight through Wednesday and generally hang out around\u00a0freezing or below.\u00a0 Gusty winds make it feel a whole lot colder. That cold carries us into Thursday as wind chills drop into the upper single digits to start the day. Ouch!<\/p>\n<p>A few flurries or snow showers will be noted during this time, with a coating or two in the mountains of the east and southeast possible.<\/p>\n<p>The weekend system still has some question marks left to be answered, but a general theme is emerging on a moderate winter weather event for Kentucky. While that&#8217;s not set in stone, confidence is high of this storm impacting the weather where you live.<\/p>\n<p>A few thoughts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The storm system is still a few days from even forming, so changes are a good bet.<\/li>\n<li>A swath of snow should overspread much of the state Friday night and early Saturday, but a switch to mixed precipitation is possible in the southern half of the state.<\/li>\n<li>Several inches of snow will be possible in areas that stay all snow. The reverse is true for areas seeing more of a mixed bag.<\/li>\n<li>None of this means you&#8217;re getting a big snow outside your house. If you&#8217;re adding that to the equation, that&#8217;s on you. \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here&#8217;s my &#8220;We&#8217;re still three days away, but I&#8217;m making a risk map anyway&#8221; map&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Special-3-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-33951\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Special-3-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"976\" height=\"569\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Special-3-1.png 976w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Special-3-1-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Special-3-1-768x448.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 976px) 100vw, 976px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Greatest Risk area may move south or north over the next few days, depending on exactly how the storm system comes together.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a quick check of the models&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>GFS<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/GFS-4.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-33950\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/GFS-4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1720\" height=\"1927\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/GFS-4.png 1720w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/GFS-4-268x300.png 268w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/GFS-4-768x860.png 768w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/GFS-4-914x1024.png 914w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1720px) 100vw, 1720px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/GFS-Snow-7.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-33949\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/GFS-Snow-7.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"941\" height=\"650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/GFS-Snow-7.png 941w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/GFS-Snow-7-300x207.png 300w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/GFS-Snow-7-768x530.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 941px) 100vw, 941px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Canadian<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/canadian-7.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-33947\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/canadian-7.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"786\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Canadian-3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-33948\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Canadian-3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"939\" height=\"655\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Canadian-3.png 939w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Canadian-3-300x209.png 300w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Canadian-3-768x536.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 939px) 100vw, 939px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Notice how Kentucky bridges the gap between higher amounts to our west and to our east.
