Hope you all were able to keep warm throughout the day. The chances of snow and cold will persist over the next few day thanks to the arctic airmass over our region.
An area of low pressure over Lake Erie has placed south central Kentucky in a northwest flow. The area of low pressure combining with an upper level disturbance passing by has allowed for colder temperatures and the snow we have had, which will be off and on the rest of the night.
Snow hasn't really been the big issue, however flash freezing has been occurring in spots and was responsible for my tumble last night. Drive with caution on secondary roadways, especially if they haven't been treated. In addition, a Winter Weather Advisory is still in effect for much of the area until 9 AM tomorrow morning.
It will be a cold night, regardless if it's snowing or not. Wednesday morning wind chills will hover near 0, thus if you're heading out in the morning like I will be, you need to bundle up.
By tomorrow, snow showers should start to diminish as the main northwesterly flow heads towards the northeast. As that pushes off, attention turns to a clipper system, which will approach from the north and west.
Forecast guidance indicated that this will be a weakening clipper system that shouldn't bring much in the way of accumulations, but nonetheless, flakes will fall Wednesday night and into Thursday.
Beyond that, there could be additional light snow disturbances, but those will be looked at more closely in the next blog post.
In the mean time, stay warm, and make sure to check back with the WKU Storm Team for further updates.
Have a goodnight!
