Historical Forecast

Chilly Morning Frost with a Passing Wintry Mix Out West

"A weak spring disturbance will cross Kentucky on Wednesday, bringing a split in weather conditions. The western and central regions will see a brief window of light rain and snow showers during the morning, though minimal to no accumulation is expected. Meanwhile, the eastern half of the state will remain dry but cold, with significant frost likely during the morning commute before skies begin to clear late."
