⚠️ Weather Alerts

Special Weather Statement:

Another Arctic cold front will drop into the region from the north tonight. Just ahead of the front, a band of snow showers and a few snow squalls are expected to drop southward through the region. The most favored time for this activity will be between 900 PM and 4 AM EST. Much of the snow shower activity will move across central and eastern Kentucky, mainly east of the I-65 corridor. Any accumulations look to be minimal and likely under a half of an inch. However, this snow falling at night and temperatures dropping into the 20s may result in areas of slick travel tonight along with reduced visibility within the snow showers. If you have travel plans for late tonight or early Saturday, you should exercise caution and allow extra time to reach your destination.
