No significant accumulations of snow are expected, although a light dusting could occur on a few elevated surfaces. Drier and brighter weather will arrive from late Wednesday through Saturday, but temperatures will only peak in the 40s each day. The next storm system will bring widespread rain to the area on Sunday into Monday.
Today: It will be much colder, with temperatures peaking only in the lower 40s today under thick clouds. Some patchy drizzle will give way to a few light rain and snow showers as a cold, upper-level low pressure system drifts into Kentucky from the south and southwest.

Wednesday: The final few light snow showers will occur early in the day, mixed with raindrops in the lower elevations. By 9 or 10 AM, most of the precipitation should be well to the east of I-75, and a gradual clearing trend will begin from west to east late in the day. Winds: W 5-10 mph. High: 41.
