Latest thinking from the NAM model regarding snowfall today. Only grassy accumulations expected. Most roads will be fine, but their may be brief periods of slick spots after sunsets. For those asking, YES Schools will most likely be allowed to safely operate tomorrow.- George
A light coating of snow is possible tomorrow evening as flurries and some light snow showers move through the commonwealth. A VERY cold day, wind chills will make it feel more like January outside.
- George
Monday morning through evening, light snows will flurry through much of Kentucky. This is not expected to be a big event, by any means. More festive than anything. A few slick spots may arise by Monday evening if a few heavier down bursts occur but overall, a mainly harmless snow maker. - George

UPDATED Snow Accumulations:
~ More details on timing (there may be a few different waves over a 24 hour period) will be posted later.
~ Here's the latest thinking on accumulation. A festive dusting for most along & East of I65, but 2-4" is possible in the higher terrain of SE KY. - George
Here comes the 15-30mph wind gusts. We'll keep these through Friday, off and on. - George
NOTE: Visibilities will be greatly impacted by Dense fog across Central Kentucky overnight and into the morning. - George
On Wednesday, a COLD front dives in by late afternoon and really TANKS temps by the overnight. Some light/spotty showers are possible as the cold front settles in. This sets the stage for our SNOW chances on Thursday & Friday.
Another Alert Day will be needed for Friday, but as for Thursday, blowing snow and brief/isolated moderate snowfall may impact travel, briefly. Even where accumulation doesn't occur, visibility rates can be reduced. Both maps are a snippet of 9am ET, Thursday morning via HRRR model. - George
