A cold front will be crossing the area over the next 6 hours or so. Not much moisture is available, but the upper level wide fields are favorable for enough lifting to squeeze out some precipitation between now and Midnight. Temperatures aloft are quite cold so snow will be the expected form of precipitation.

However, surface temperatures reached the 40’s this afternoon. Thus, I expect to see a rain/snow mix at onset. That will cause temperatures to drop quickly and we should see snow become the dominate precipitation form by 6-7 P.M. Through the evening, temperatures are expected to remain in the 30’s. That’s good news for area roadways as they should remain wet, not icy. Some snow accumulation, however, is likely on grassy areas. Snow totals locally should be up to one inch on those off-road surfaces. East of Louisville area, snow accumulations (grassy areas) could hit 1-2″ (Shelbyville) and possibly 3″ near Frankfort and Lexington.

Isn’t it ironic that the person who commonly calls Joe Biden “Sleepy Joe” is now falling asleep in public almost every day?
