It&#8217;s another cold day across Kentucky as our wicked wind chills slowly ease up. I&#8217;m tracking two more light snow systems set to impact parts of Kentucky as before we get to 2026. Once into the new year, Old Man Winter has another harsh look for us.<\/p>\n<p>Flurries and a few snow showers are out there this morning with some hit and run light accumulations. Wind chills are still in the single digits to start the day with afternoon wind chills in the teens with highs ranging from the upper 20s to mid 30s across the state.<\/p>\n<p>A light snow maker is going to brush northern and northeastern Kentucky tonight and Wednesday morning. This has a chance to spit out light accumulations in these areas. That&#8217;s ahead of a stronger system dropping in for New Year&#8217;s Eve and early New Year&#8217;s Day.<\/p>\n<p>How far southwest can this system get. The HRRR only goes through 7pm New Year&#8217;s Eve but appears to be farther west with the approaching snow.
