That band pushes eastward and expands in coverage and intensity as it hits eastern Kentucky in the afternoon and evening. This will put down some nice totals in the far east.<\/li>\n<li>Snow showers and snow squalls look to develop during the afternoon into Christmas Eve across central Kentucky. That will then roll into eastern Kentucky.<\/li>\n<li>The upper level low then brings a period of light snow on Christmas Day. This is a high ratio looking system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>My New Call For Snowfall tries to hone in on things much better than earlier. Still, this isn&#8217;t the final call and I will make more adjustments later tonight and may have to pull the higher totals a bit west&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/chris-pic-4.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-46169\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/chris-pic-4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"904\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/chris-pic-4.png 904w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/chris-pic-4-300x166.png 300w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/chris-pic-4-768x425.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 904px) 100vw, 904px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now, within all these areas, pockets of higher totals may show up if snow squalls do fire up.
