This post is a little later than I had hoped for because your friendly weatherdude has been doing Christmas parades and some other odds and ends. This post is straight and to the point as we have a harsh period of winter weather on the way.<\/p>\n<p>An arctic front moves in late Sunday will have a temp jump ahead of it with a big drop behind it. We will see a mix of light rain and some light snow ahead of it with a period of light, accumulating snow behind it.<\/p>\n<p>The light accumulations would occur Sunday night and Monday morning.<\/p>\n<p>The latest future radar from the HRRR starts at 1pm Sunday and goes through 1pm Monday. Notice how it does pop a decent little band of light snow across central and eastern Kentucky&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/HRRR-2.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-74401\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/HRRR-2.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"984\" height=\"808\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Temps on Monday are frigid with several areas staying below freezing with a wind chill near 20.<\/p>\n<p>Temps spike briefly late Tuesday into early Wednesday ahead of another arctic front dropping in late Wednesday.
