Snow, ice and freezing rain are all possibilities this weekend.
There's even a chance some parts of Kentucky will see some double digit snowfall totals.
Meteorologist Chris Darden is in our Louisville studio with the latest on what is shaping up to be a major winter storm, Kristie.
That's right Renee.
A winter storm that will impact all of Kentucky with heavy snow.
The potential for freezing rain for some and bitter cold temperatures.
This is all going to begin as snow on Saturday.
And when you start to see those first snowflakes fly, well, that all depends on where you live, as this system will be moving from the south up toward the north.
You're expected to start to see those first snowflakes in western Kentucky around Paducah, Hopkinsville, perhaps even before sunrise or right around sunrise from 7 to 11 a.m.. You'll start to see that first snowfall for Owensboro, Campbellsville, Russell Springs, London.
Harlan.
Now, around noon, or perhaps even into the afternoon until 5 p.m., you'll start to see that snow working its way up toward Louisville, Frankfort, Lexington, Morehead, Ashland, and then finally reaching Northern Kentucky after 5 p.m.
on Saturday.
The big question is how much snow are we going to see since this system is still a couple days out?
We still have some uncertainty about exact snow total predictions.
However, this map from the National Weather Service shows where we expect to see the heaviest snow.
The current predicted storm track, which could be updated as we get closer to this storm.
This is the probability of seeing eight inches of snow or more.
And you can see that probability of eight inches of snow or more.
70% chance.
Right here for central Kentucky and northeastern Kentucky that includes Lexington, Louisville, Morehead, Ashland, Cincinnati and all the way down toward Richmond.
Notice that probability is a little bit lower for southern Kentucky.
That's because in southern Kentucky, around the Kentucky Tennessee border, you may see some freezing rain mixing in with this early Sunday morning.
And that's really going to cut back on your snow totals after this whole system is gone and all the snow is on the ground.
We are expecting another weather hazard.
And that's going to be dangerously cold temperatures.
Take a look at these temperature predictions from the National Weather Service out of Louisville.
Expecting one degree for that overnight low Monday and Tuesday.
Really these this these two days we're expecting the coldest temperatures.
And that's in Bardstown zero there for Campbellsville for overnight lows for Monday and Tuesday.
Five degrees for Louisville and one for Richmond, Kentucky.
And now these predictions will be updated from the National Weather Service.
And speaking of which, we're going to be talking to the National Weather Service for tomorrow as this system gets a little bit closer to us of what we should expect, the latest predictions, what we need to prepare for, and we'll also have the latest thinking of predicting snow totals across the state of Kentucky.
We'll have all that for you on Kentucky Edition tomorrow.
