Minor accumulating snowfall, negative wind chills

 Minor accumulating snowfall is expected across western and central Kentucky with higher amounts in eastern Kentucky. Gusty winds will cause blowing snow at times with reduced visibilities. Cold air then comes crashing in with negative wind chills.


The nam 3k model is showing 1-2 inches across Cental Kentucky with higher amounts in the Southeastern portion of the state.


Winter Weather Advisory


* WHAT...Snow expected. Total snow accumulations up to two inches.


* WHERE...Portions of east central, north central, and south central Kentucky.


* WHEN...From 1 AM EST /midnight CST/ to 7 PM EST /6 PM CST/ Sunday.


* IMPACTS...Plan on slippery road conditions and low visibility in snow showers.


* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Light to moderate snow showers will develop early Sunday morning and continue through the afternoon hours. Expect low visibility while traveling due to snow showers and breezy winds of 15-25 mph.


Slow down and use caution while traveling. For Kentucky Road Conditions please visit http://goky.ky.gov



The HRRR model is also showing similar amounts to the nam model.

The NWS probabilistic Snowfall Experiment is showing a 30% chance of snow accumulating more than 1 inch across Central Kentucky with higher percentages to the East.


Below we can see cold temperatures plummeting into the region with below freezing wind chills. 

Cold Weather Advisory

* WHAT...Very cold wind chills in the single digits below zero expected.

* WHERE...Southern Indiana and central Kentucky.

* WHEN...From 7 PM EST /6 PM CST/ Sunday to 1 PM EST /noon CST/ Monday.
