Another Round of Snow Possible for the Bluegrass
Wintry mix expected across the Bluegrass
A developing weather system will bring a mix of rain and snow to the Bluegrass region, with the greatest impacts expected along and north of I-64. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for these areas due to the potential for slick travel.
Morning hours
Light precipitation may begin during the morning, mainly across northern portions of the region. Any snow that develops early would be light, but colder temperatures during this time could allow snow to accumulate more efficiently, especially north of I-64. Confidence in widespread morning snowfall remains low, but even brief snow showers could lead to slick spots on untreated roads.
Farther south, conditions are expected to remain mostly dry or see only spotty light precipitation during the morning hours.
Afternoon and evening
The primary impacts are expected during the afternoon and evening as steadier precipitation moves into the region. Along and north of I-64, snow will become more widespread, with periods of moderate snowfall possible. Snow totals of 1 to 2 inches are expected north of I-64, with slushy accumulations likely on roads.
Along the I-64 corridor, snowfall amounts are expected to range from a coating to around one inch. Even these lower amounts could cause travel issues, particularly during the afternoon and evening commute, as snowfall rates may briefly be heavy enough to overcome slightly milder air temperatures.
South of I-64, precipitation will likely fall mainly as rain, though a brief mix with snow cannot be ruled out. With surface temperatures near freezing, isolated slick spots remain possible, especially on bridges and elevated roadways.
Late impacts
As the system exits, a brief period of light freezing drizzle cannot be ruled out across parts of central Kentucky. Any icing would be minimal, but even a thin glaze could create isolated slick conditions.
Colder air will move back in behind the system, setting up a cold and dry stretch through the middle of the week, with highs in the 20s and 30s and lows dropping into the teens.
Cold air follows midweek
After the system moves out, colder and drier air settles back into the region. High temperatures through midweek are expected to remain in the 20s and 30s, with overnight lows dropping into the teens. A few lingering flurries are possible early, especially in eastern areas, before quieter weather takes hold.
Looking ahead, another system may approach later in the week, but impacts currently appear limited. For now, the main focus remains on the wintry mix and the potential for slick travel, particularly across northern portions of the Bluegrass.
