Overview: A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY is in effect now through Tuesday evening for Central Kentucky, and through Wednesday morning for Eastern Kentucky.
“The storm will reach the area Monday afternoon with rain and wet snow, but roads should stay mainly wet with little impact to the afternoon commute”, said Kristina Pydynowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist, in a prepared forecast.
Burke said that while the front arriving over land will be dry, it is powerful and that can nudge snow amounts up.
A wind chill advisory goes into effect at 4 a.m. Tuesday, continuing until 10 a.m. Thursday.
After less than an inch of snow Monday night and early Tuesday, about 1 to 3 inches of snow is expected in the daytime Tuesday.
The most serious conditions will occur over coastal areas where heavy snow and high winds will create chaotic conditions. It will switch to all snow overnight and Tuesday with snow showers lingering into Wednesday. Total accumulations will be WIDE-ranging… anywhere from a coating near the OH state line, to as much as 7 inches north of I-69.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy skies and scattered snow showers will continue, with a cold high temperature of only 21 degrees.
South and east suburbs, from the New Jersey Shore up to Long Island and across the Long Island Sound into CT will see 3 to 5 inches with the possibility of 6 inches or more over the east end of Long Island again.
Timing…light rain early this morning is expected to transition to all snow around daybreak.
The snow was not expected to be as heavy as a storm that dumped more than a foot of snow in parts of the state Friday.
Thursday: Sunny, high near 15. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 7.
