Maybe<\/li>\n<li>Skies become partly cloudy with highs mainly in the 30s across the central and east. Temps reach 40 in the west.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>OVERALL THOUGHTS<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This is NOT\u00a0 big deal in terms of snow.<\/li>\n<li>Most people won&#8217;t see any snow on the ground. Areas of the east have the best chance at some very light accumulations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>My snow map from 2 days ago is still in decent shape&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/SPECIAL-MAP-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-62542\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/SPECIAL-MAP-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/SPECIAL-MAP-1.png 1000w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/SPECIAL-MAP-1-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/SPECIAL-MAP-1-768x461.png 768w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/SPECIAL-MAP-1-627x376.png 627w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/SPECIAL-MAP-1-440x264.png 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The future radars from the HRRR and Hi Res NAM are pretty similar in showing the snow showers and squalls increasing this afternoon and decreasing later this evening&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>HRRR<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/HRRR-7.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-62561\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/HRRR-7.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"984\" height=\"808\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>HI RES NAM<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/NAM-14.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-62562\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/NAM-14.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"984\" height=\"808\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Temps rebound behind this system for the middle and end of the week.
