Snow and bitterly cold wind chills increase today and take us into early Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>In true Kentucky weather fashion, our temps may hit 80 this coming weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Snow showers and a few snow squalls will be common out there today with an increase this afternoon and evening. At the same time, an enhanced band of snow develops and rolls across eastern Kentucky. That band of snow can throw down an inch or two with the greatest chance across the Virginia border counties.<\/p>\n<p>The snow showers and squalls can also put down hit and run accumulations and reduce visibilities, leading to some quick travel issues.
