FORECAST
Here’s WAVE News chief meteorologist Kevin Harned with your forecast.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) – Expect a frigid night ahead as an arctic blast settles into WAVE Country in advance of the winter storm. Lows fall into the single digits and lower teens by Saturday morning with wind chills of -5 to -10 at times late.
Our winter storms 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 significant accumulations on the table on the order of 4″ to 6″. Some locations 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 south of the Kentucky Parkways. We will continue to adjust how far north the sleet and ice goes as we get closer. Additional snowfall accumulations of 6″-12″ expected in many areas.
Lasting impacts from the winter storm will continue for several more days as we focus on the dangerously cold weather that will move in after the storm.
Another chance for light snow is looking more likely into Wednesday night with some light accumulations possible.
Stay safe and close to the forecast changes!
