WABBLES, I know you’re excited and patiently waiting to deep dive this weekend’s forecast. Firstly, let’s enjoy the little bit of a warmup we have going on and the quiet before the storm over the next few days. Then we can get into what we know about this weekend, so let’s get right into this.

Today’s Forecast

This morning some of WABBLES will see some impactful winter weather and Butler and Edmonson Counties are under a winter weather advisory until 11AM CST. This advisory states up to an inch of snow and a glazing of ice, take caution as you travel this morning. Most of in the area will see rain while some see a wintery mix.

Today our high will be in the low 40’s with the warm front that is moving though this morning. Wind gusts could pick up today between 20-25mph later this afternoon. We’ll see rain showers through the afternoon.

The WARMUP is here and the calm continues

Thursday temperatures look to remain in the low 40’s and lucky us we get to see the sun again. the high pressure continues throughout the day with calm winds heading into the evening. Thursday night temperatures will drop to the mid 20’s under partly cloudy skies.

Friday, we start to see our weather move around again. Our high for Friday will be in the low 30’s by the afternoon after cold air drops down from the north heading into the evening. We’ll see more clouds on Friday with a slight chance for a snow flurry heading into Friday night. Friday night the arctic cold returns with a low near 10 heading into Saturday morning.

Looking at this weekend, we still have a lot of uncertainty. What we do know is that we will see winter weather impacts Saturday and Sunday. These impacts will be snow and arctic cold temperatures, what we don’t know is snow accumulation totals, while some confidence is increasing it is still too early to give exact numbers.

The confidence in moderate winter weather impacts is increasing, and this means that travel conditions on Saturday and Sunday will be impacted. The best thing to do is be prepared, and I’m not saying raid the shelves of Kroger for the apocalypse. but make sure you have a plan and just check to make sure you have the essentials while we get more information. Stay tuned for Friday’s blog where we will have more information on the exact numbers and timing.

WABBLES, that’s Old Man Winter for you. He is giving us a few days to breathe before he comes barreling in again. Be cautious this morning as you travel and enjoy the warmup and the sunshine tomorrow. Stay updated on our social media as we get more information about this weekend. Stay safe and catch you all later.
