FORECAST
Here’s WAVE News meteorologist Carson Meredith with your forecast.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) – Our winter storm begins with widespread snow moving in from the west midday Saturday and continuing through the afternoon and evening.
The snow will be heavy at times by late afternoon, making travel increasingly difficult as the day progresses. Heavy snow is likely Saturday night with accumulations on the order of 4-6 inches expected.
Areas south of the Kentucky Parkways may begin to see sleet or freezing rain Saturday night while areas further north stay in all snow.
Widespread heavy snow continues Sunday with sleet/ice getting more involved along and south of the Kentucky Parkways. Additional snowfall accumulations of 6-12 inches are expected in areas that stay all snow through the entire storm.
Any snow/sleet/ice mix Sunday changes back to light snow as the winter storm begins to exit Sunday night. Then we turn our attention to the extremely cold temperatures as we crash to below zero in many areas by Monday morning.
Lingering light snow exits by daybreak Monday with just flurries possible for the rest of the day. Monday night looks extremely cold with lows near and below zero likely, especially in areas with a significant snowpack.
Wind chills of 15 to 20 degrees BELOW ZERO are expected Monday night into Tuesday morning. Another chance for light snow is likely Wednesday night with some light accumluations possible and another blast of dangerous cold to follow.
Stay safe and warm and stay with the WAVE Storm Tracking Team for continuing coverage.
