LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) – A Winter Storm Threat continues for Sunday and Monday as a potent system aims at our region. Before that happens, we will have a light snowmaker cruise into the area.
Here’s what you need to know:
Light System Tonight and Friday
- A fast-moving clipper brings light snow and flurries, mainly impacting central and eastern Kentucky.
- Expect light accumulations (coating to 1″) and potential slick spots.
- High elevations in eastern Kentucky could pick up a little more.
- Gusty winds and cold temps (upper 20s to low 30s) make it feel even colder.
Winter Storm Threat Sunday and Monday
The track of this system is still up in the air. We will have a better idea by the time we reach Friday and Saturday. The GFS model has had a shift to the north with the latest run. This puts the heaviest swath of snow north of Lexington. The EURO has consistently pushed that line north and stuck! It has some of the heaviest snow in and around Cincinnati.
If the northern turn holds true, it would mean a better chance of ice accumulation for our region.
- Major travel impacts expected.
- Freezing rain and winds gusting up to 30mph may cause power issues.
- Those ice accumulations could be significant for parts of Kentucky.
- Snowfall totals uncertain due to potential sleet and freezing rain.
- Brutal wind chills expected, especially in areas with significant ice accumulations.
Cold Temps to Follow
- Bitterly cold temps blast in behind the storm, with lows potentially reaching zero or below.
- Wind chills will be even colder, especially Tuesday to Thursday mornings.
Take care of each other!
