More snow is expected across Kentucky this week, starting Sunday night and continuing into Monday. A weather system will move through late Sunday, bringing rain and snow to parts of the state.
The Louisville National Weather Service predicts around a half-inch of snow for north central Kentucky. Chief Meteorologist Chris Bailey of WKYT said the snow will affect central and eastern areas of the state.
Bailey explained that the system could cause delays and possible snow days as an arctic front moves in behind it. Southeastern counties may see up to an inch of snow.
Residents in impacted areas are advised to prepare for winter conditions on roads and allow extra travel time. Officials also recommend checking local weather updates for school and work delays.
The snow system is part of a larger cold front expected to bring colder temperatures statewide. Meteorologists say the mix of rain and snow may change to mainly snow in some areas as the arctic front moves through.
Kentucky residents should expect slick roads and reduced visibility in the morning and evening hours. Motorists are urged to drive cautiously and stay informed through official weather alerts.
This week’s snowfall marks one of the first significant snow events for the state this winter. The system is expected to impact daily routines, especially for commuters and students in central and eastern Kentucky.
