While we continue to enjoy an awesome spring day, the focus is on a light snowfall sweeping into the region tonight and early Wednesday. This is on the light side, but it doesn&#8217;t take much to be considered historic when you&#8217;re this late in April.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s recap where this thing goes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Temps are making a run at 70 this afternoon.<\/li>\n<li>A cold front blasts into western Kentucky this afternoon as a wave of low pressure develops along it.<\/li>\n<li>This will have a few showers ahead of it, but much of the precipitation is behind the actual front.<\/li>\n<li>Temps crash some 30 degrees or so in just a few hours as the front moves through.<\/li>\n<li>A band of light snow will be likely behind the front with the greatest concentration across western and central Kentucky. This band weakens a bit as it moves into the east.<\/li>\n<li>Light accumulations will briefly show up on grassy and elevated surfaces. There seems to be an increasing chance for a slushy inch of snow to show up across the northern half of the state. North-Central Kentucky may be in the bullseye.<\/li>\n<li>Anything more than a Trace will make this one of the latest measurable snowfalls on record in this region. This is now likely to happen in many areas.<\/li>\n<li>Temps by Wednesday morning drop into the low 30s with a wind chill hitting 20-25.<\/li>\n<li>Highs Wednesday stay in the 40s with a wind chill in the 30s. A leftover rain or snow shower may show up, especially in the east. This may actually continue into the evening.<\/li>\n<li>Below freezing temps then show up Wednesday night and Thursday morning and again Friday morning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here&#8217;s my first ever First Call For Snowfall in April&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Chris-Special.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48655\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Chris-Special.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"905\" height=\"514\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Chris-Special.png 905w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Chris-Special-300x170.png 300w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Chris-Special-768x436.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 905px) 100vw, 905px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Again, this melts very quickly and may even be gone by the time you wake up.
