Good Friday, folks. Today is going to be an interesting day with two rounds of snow impacting the state. The second round is getting more of my attention as it may contain some absolutely blinding snow squalls this afternoon and evening.<\/p>\n

Our first system is impacting areas of northern Kentucky, especially from the Lexington metro and northeast. Some amounts of 1″ or a little more may show up within this corridor to cause slick travel for the morning drive…<\/p>\n

That does not mean everyone in that area sees an inch of snow, but I’m highlighting the region most at risk. Some delays and cancellations will show up in this area. That snow band will then sink toward the southeast with light accumulations through the day.<\/p>\n

The next system is a potent disturbance dropping in from northwest to southeast. This will cause widespread snow showers to increase for much of the area, but some intense bands of snow squalls will also likely show up. Here’s the area most at risk for seeing these intense bands of snow…<\/p>\n

These snow squalls are likely to cause some big travel issues for a time, so please keep that in mind if you’re travelling in the highlighted region.<\/p>\n

Again, the above map is strictly for the snow squall potential. Snow showers will be fairly common in most of central and eastern Kentucky through early Friday evening.<\/p>\n

Behind all this comes arctic air and the potential for single digit lows again by Saturday morning. Wind chills will go below zero at times across central and eastern Kentucky.<\/p>\n

The setup for next week is looking a little more interesting as the models are beginning to trend colder quicker. The EURO has the next system moving in on Wednesday with now more of a fence setting up with rain\/mix and snow…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

That sets the stage for a bigger system rolling through right behind that into Thursday…<\/p>\n

There’s a lot of harsh winter weather ahead of us, folks.<\/p>\n

I will have updates later today. I leave you with your snow tracking tools for the day…<\/p>\n
