Throw in temps well below normal and you have a day more typical of early December than the first half of November.<\/p>\n<p>Temps today range from the upper 30s to low 40s for much of the day with gusty winds making it feel much colder. An upper level system drops in from the northwest, producing rounds of rain and a few snow showers today through tonight.<\/p>\n<p>The best chance for light accumulations will be across far southeastern Kentucky with surrounding areas seeing some light snow showers. Elsewhere across central and eastern Kentucky, just a few flakes will be possible&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/1-MAP-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-79506\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/1-MAP-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"617\" height=\"341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/1-MAP-2.jpg 617w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/1-MAP-2-300x166.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 617px) 100vw, 617px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The future radar from the HRRR shows this action well and even keeps some snow showers and flurries going into Saturday morning across the east and southeast into Saturday morning&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/HRRR-3.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-79523\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/HRRR-3.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"984\" height=\"808\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Wind chills Friday night into Saturday are down there, especially Saturday morning.

If you&#8217;re a regular here at KWC, you guys know I&#8217;ve been talking about this for a long time and now others are jumping on board with this potential.<\/p>\n<p>The extended models such as the EURO Weeklies are now out through December 27th and have a really nice looking pattern for cold and snow in our part of the world. The Control Run of the EURO Weeklies is a single model run and is showing a heck of a 30 day average for winter lovers&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Euro-3-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-79515\" src=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Euro-3-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"963\" height=\"757\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Euro-3-2.png 963w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Euro-3-2-300x236.png 300w, https:\/\/kyweathercenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Euro-3-2-768x604.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 963px) 100vw, 963px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The EURO Weeklies are made up of 101 different members so you get more of a smoothed out look than the single run above.
