First Alert Weather Forecast
A WINTER STORM WARNING IS IN EFFECT FOR MUCH OF CENTRAL AND WESTERN KENTUCKY UNTIL 1PM TODAY (INCLUDES THE LOUISVILLE AND CINCINNATI METRO AREAS). FAR EASTERN KENTUCKY WILL SEE THE WINTER STORM WARNING EXPIRE AT 7PM (INCLUDES ASHLAND, MOREHEAD AND PIKEVILLE).

A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR THE BLUEGRASS REGION (INCLUDES LEXINGTON, RICHMOND, SOMERSET AND LONDON) AS WELL AS MUCH OF SOUTHERN KENTUCKY UNTIL 1PM. THE ADVISORY EXPIRES AT 7PM FOR FAR SOUTHEASTERN KENTUCKY.

Be careful on the roadways as we're getting a little bit of everything (in terms of precipitation). A general 2-3" of snow has already fallen over the Bluegrass and I-64 corridor northward this morning. Farther to the south, warmer air has allowed precipitation to transition over to rain. Many areas in Southern Kentucky are dealing with wet roads while farther to the north, they are snow-covered.

The warmer air will continue to march northward during the morning hours. Precipitation will changeover to rain for the Bluegrass later this morning before changing back to snow showers later this afternoon. Some of this morning's snow should melt a bit because of the warmer air/rain but additional snow will return.

The second batch of snow is a result of a strong cold front which will plow across the Commonwealth during the P.M. hours. Expect breezy conditions to accompany the snow showers from this afternoon through Wednesday. Additional accumulations are likely (an inch or two for many areas with higher amounts into SE Kentucky tonight through Wednesday).

As snow showers fall tonight and Wednesday, expect a colder airmass to take over. Wind chill factors tonight could plummet to either side of 0 with highs tomorrow struggling to reach the middle 20s.
Things will eventually wind down and dry out for the rest of the work week as high pressure arrives Thursday.

Stay safe on the roadways!
