A developing storm system is moving our way and will bring a wintry mess to much of the region later tonight and Wednesday. Once again, the type of precipitation you get outside your house depends on where in the state your house is located.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s get started with a rundown of my latest thoughts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Temps are have been running colder than model forecasts since Monday.<\/li>\n<li>Dewpoints are still well down into the 20s.<\/li>\n<li>Northeast winds continue in our region.<\/li>\n<li>Those three above argue for a colder solution tonight as precipitation moves in.<\/li>\n<li>The models are a bit weaker with the lead low into the lower Ohio Valley. That means less warm air advection showing up and a better chance of winter weather.<\/li>\n<li>The northern half of the state is likely to see the most winter weather with snow and a mix likely. Farther south, an initial mix likely goes over to rain for much of the daylight hours Wednesday.<\/li>\n<li>A Winter Weather Advisory is likely for the northern two-thirds of the state and into the mountains of southeastern Kentucky. The timing on the mess moving in will likely lead to issues for the Wednesday morning commute.<\/li>\n<li>The northwest flow behind this will combine with a disturbance to produce light snow across central and eastern Kentucky Wednesday night and Thursday. This setup is often underplayed on the models and I do expect light accumulations from this as well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the First Call for Snow\/Winterfall for the initial system tonight and Wednesday&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/chris-pic-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full
