A decent round of snow is in store for much of the state today through tonight as low pressure works just to our south. With accumulating snow taking control from west to east, travel conditions go downhill quickly, especially as temps crash into the 20s this evening. Behind all this comes a complex and messy looking system this weekend and early next week.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few thoughts on the current snow setup:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Light snow breaks out across western Kentucky from late morning into the early afternoon.<\/li>\n<li>This snow works into central Kentucky by the middle of the afternoon, then overspreads the rest of the state into the evening.<\/li>\n<li>An enhanced band of snow is likely to show up within 50 miles on either side of Interstate 64 from southern Indiana through central Kentucky. As this band expands across central and eastern Kentucky, it arcs more toward the southeast.<\/li>\n<li>Within this overall area, a general 1&#8243;-4&#8243; of snow likely shows up. There&#8217;s the chance for a few spots to come in just over this if everything comes together just right.<\/li>\n<li>Farther southeast, we may get some higher totals along the Virginia border counties, especially in the mountains.<\/li>\n<li>A coating to 2&#8243; amounts show up across the far north and northeast and areas of western and south central Kentucky.<\/li>\n<li>As temps crash into the 20s early Wednesday evening, roads will likely ice up with some snow on top of that.<\/li>\n<li>Winds will also be super gusty and that gives us a wind chill that can drop into the single digits at times by Thursday morning. Actual lows reach the teens for some.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the NEW CALL FOR SNOWFALL&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a
