Good evening, gang. Snow showers and snow squalls are packing a wicked punch across the region this evening. I labeled this as a high impact travel impact event and that’s exactly what we are seeing with snow and ice covered roads throughout central and eastern Kentucky.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of accidents have been reported today and that’s the bad part about all this. Many of us like to see the snow, but there’s a downside to it all for those who have to travel.<\/p>\n

Travel conditions won’t improve much tonight as the flakes keep flying and temps continue to drop. Readings will head into the high single digits by morning. Gusty winds will give us a wind chill of 0 to -10 at times. That’s in the danger category, so limit your time outside.<\/p>\n

What’s next on the weather agenda? It’s the mega blast of arctic air on tap for early next week. This will be accompanied by a snow maker on Sunday into Sunday night. How much snow this thing produces will be the focus of the forecast going forward. The more snow it can put down, the colder those temps will be early next week. Sub-zero readings are LIKELY across the state with or without a lot of snow. If we can get more than a couple of inches… the numbers can get absurd.<\/p>\n

Gusty winds will accompany this blast and wind chills of -20 to -30 degrees will be possible.<\/p>\n

While I’m at it… keep a close eye on the end of next week for a snow or ice maker. Yep… this is a wicked pattern we’re in.<\/p>\n

Let’s get back to tracking the nastiness of this evening…<\/p>\n
