The big shock to the system is underway as temps continue to drop into the 30s from west to east. Heavy rain is slowly working out and being replaced by a mix of sleet and light snow. That&#8217;s a trend that will continue through the rest of the day into the evening hours.<\/p>\n<p>It looks like some light snow showers and flurries will continue into early Tuesday morning.

There&#8217;s a lot of water out there and with temps dropping below freezing later this evening and overnight, black ice may become a real problem. Keep that in mind.<\/p>\n<p>The next system this works in this weekend and cuts due east across the Ohio Valley. It&#8217;s a much colder look than the models had a few days ago and I still don&#8217;t think they have settled in yet. What is interesting to note is some of the models try to pop a secondary low just to our east by late Sunday and Monday.<\/p>\n<p>That kind of gets the ball rolling on a series of storms to impact our region next week. The European 500mb map shows that well&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Euro8.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5061\" title=\"Euro\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Euro8.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"438\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Euro8.png 438w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Euro8-237x300.png 237w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 438px) 100vw, 438px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0That is a very active set of maps and one that can really ramp up one of those systems into a Ohio Valley winter storm.
