Dangerous Arctic Cold Grips Kentucky with Mountain Snow
A powerful Arctic air mass is firmly entrenched across the Commonwealth, bringing the coldest temperatures of the season and life-threatening wind chills. While western Kentucky stays dry under clearing skies, a passing shortwave trough will interact with moisture trapped in the eastern mountains to produce light, powdery snow showers through the afternoon.
Confidence Assessment
High confidence in the extreme cold and sub-zero wind chills; lower confidence in snow accumulation due to the struggle between mid-level saturation and low-level dry air.
Get Personalized Forecasts
Choose which region in Kentucky you're interested in and we'll always show you that one first. You can change your selected region by clicking the "Star" icon on any regional forecast.
Purchase Area
It will be a dry but brutally cold day across the Purchase. Highs will only reach the low teens, while morning wind chills will plummet to near 10 below zero. Skies will clear by the afternoon, but the cold will remain intense.
Northwest Pennyrile
Expect a very cold day with plenty of clouds early on, clearing out slightly by the afternoon. Wind chills will drop to 10 degrees below zero in the morning. Even with sunshine, temperatures will struggle to reach 12 degrees.
Southwest Pennyrile
It will be a cold start across the region. Morning wind chills will reach 8 below zero. Skies will clear toward the evening, with temperatures remaining in the low teens through the afternoon.
Barren River
The area will be a cold trapper today. Temperatures will drop to near zero with wind chills making it feel like 10 below zero. Expect plenty of clouds through the morning.
Louisville Metro
Even the city heat won't help today. Expect bright but brutally cold conditions. Highs won't crack 13 degrees, and wind chills will stay near 10 below zero for much of the morning.
Lincoln Trail
Bundle up if you're heading out. High winds and single-digit temperatures will create wind chills of 12 below zero. A high of only 12 degrees is expected today.
Lake Cumberland
You might see some snowflakes falling in Somerset this morning. Expect a light dusting around 0.2 inches. Because the ground is so cold, even this minor amount will stick immediately to the roads.
Northern Kentucky
Expect a frigid day along the Ohio River. Temperatures will bottom out at 2 degrees, with morning wind chills around 10 below zero. A light dusting of snow is possible early.
Inner Bluegrass
A cloudy and very cold day is on tap for Lexington. Winds will make it feel like 10 below zero, and light snow flurries will likely leave a coating of 0.2 inches on the ground.
Bluegrass Foothills
Expect scattered snow showers to persist through the afternoon, leaving a light dusting around 0.5 inches. Bitter cold will remain the main story with wind chills near zero.
Northeast Kentucky
It will stay cloudy and cold in Ashland. Light snow will accumulate through the day, with accumulations around 0.6 inches possible. Use caution on the roads.
Southeast Kentucky
The mountains will see the most snow today, with accumulations around 1 inch of fluffy powder. Roads will be slick throughout the day, so use caution while driving.
Possible Outcomes
Weather forecasting involves uncertainty. Below are two scenarios representing the range of possible outcomes: the "Boom" scenario shows the worst-case/highest-impact result if conditions align unfavorably, while the "Bust" scenario shows the best-case/lowest-impact result if the forecast doesn't materialize as expected.
The 'Boom' Scenario
If the moisture profile deepens slightly and snow-to-liquid ratios reach 20:1, the Southeast Coalfields could see localized totals of 2-3 inches of dry powder, while central Kentucky sees a widespread coating.
The 'Bust' Scenario
If the dry sub-cloud layer (dewpoint depressions >15F) seen in the NAM verifies, most precipitation will fall as virga or light flurries, leaving the state with little to no measurable accumulation.
Model Disagreements
When models disagree, a call must be made to determine the most likely outcome. This decision is based on a combination of factors including model performance, historical data, and the models general accounting of each climatic region of Kentucky.
The Virga Verdict
The NAM suggests a bone-dry lower atmosphere that will evaporate most precipitation before it hits the ground, while the GFS and GEM suggest enough moisture will overcome the dry air to produce measurable snow.
Why GEM Wins
GEM and GFS are better at resolving the moisture-squeezing effect of the shortwave in Arctic air; high snow-to-liquid ratios mean even minimal liquid will result in measurable surface accumulation.
The Negative Low Struggle
The GFS is aggressively forecasting sub-zero surface temperatures across the western half of the state, while the NAM and Euro keep lows in the single digits above zero.
Why BLEND Wins
The 1040mb high is a classic signal for extreme cold, but lingering cloud cover in the central/east will likely prevent the full radiational cooling needed for the deepest GFS negatives.
