Accumulating Snow Likely On Thursday

 While it is still too early to nail down snowfall accumulation amounts across specific locations, a system is expected to being some snow to the area. Some models are showing storm level criteria, while one model is holding out with none at all.

Nonetheless, the WPC has placed most of Kentucky in a 40-70% of receiving greater than or equal to 4 inches of snowfall in green.


Looking at the individual chances ins gifs from the wpc for snow, 1-4 inches as seen below.

There is currently about a 80-90% chance we'll see greather than or equal to 1"

Here it shows about a 70-80% chance of seeing greather than or equal to 2 inches of snow.

Below shows a 40-50% chance of seeing greather than or equal to 4 inches of snow and I'll stop there because it's still too early to look beyond the chance of recieving more than 4" at this time. 


The National Weather Service in Louisville has issued a Special Weather Statement. 

Special Weather Statement:

A system may bring light snowfall to the area Thursday afternoon and evening. Temperatures during the day on Thursday should be below freezing across the area, so accumulations will be possible shortly after the onset of snowfall. Travel impacts would be most likely during midday and evening commutes on Thursday, with lingering black ice possible Friday morning.

The coldest air of the season up to this point will follow in the wake of the system Friday morning, with wind chills in the single digits expected.

There is still quite a bit of uncertainty with this system, and the forecast will be refined further over the coming days. Stay tuned for updates as new information comes in.
