FIRST ALERT | A little warmer today, but more winter weather is on the way

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) – We are starting off this Sunday with a few scattered showers and wintry mix moving into the northern half of the Bluegrass. This precipitation will quickly turn to just plain rain and then exit the region. We will see some breaks in the clouds this afternoon and the sun will come out for a bit as temperatures warm into the mid 40s in central Kentucky and the lower 50s in the southern end of the state.

Tonight an arctic cold front will dive into the Ohio Valley and that will bring more rain that will end as light snow. Most of the area could pick up on a coating to an inch of accumulation on Monday as the snow moves through. Some of the mountains in Eastern Kentucky may see up to two inches.

We dry out for Tuesday as high pressure builds back into the region.  This will allow temperatures to return to the mid 40s on both Tuesday and Wednesday.  However as we wrap up Wednesday our weather pattern takes a turn to the wintry side again. A series of clipper systems will dive down from Canada as we go into the end of the week.  Each one will bring a reinforcing shot of cooler air and a chance at precipitation.  It will likely be a wintry mix on Wednesday, and mainly snow later in the week.  We will hammer out the details as we get closer to the storms, so keep checking in for updates to your First Alert Forecast.
