We started off chilly but it is sunny today! Our next cold front is hot on our tails! It is just to the north and will swing through the area today! This will bring a renewed chance for showers and drop the temps by Easter Sunday. We also have the chance for a WINTRY MIX by Sunday evening. It could result in a slushy accumulation for some.

The snow chance is on Easter Sunday or April 1st (and no...it is not an April Fools Joke!). If we see more 0.4'' it will go down in our record books! It would be the 10th snowiest April ever! The current top ten snowiest Aprils are below.

TIMING:
Three things will be increasing today: Temps, winds and clouds.
- Highs will be in the mid 60s.
- Clouds will increase through the rest of the morning and afternoon.
- Winds will be very gusty during the afternoon too! Expect gusts from 35-40 mph!
Showers return to the area late afternoon and early afternoon. They will start off very scattered and spotty.

But as we move through the evening, they will become more widespread and likely.


These showers will continue through the overnight...

And into early Easter Sunday. There will be two rounds on Sunday. This first round that starts today and lingers into the morning.

A few spots could see showers until mid morning, but they will be more isolated at this time.

It does look like we will get a break from the wet weather during a portion of the day tomorrow. Enough to squeeze out some outdoor time or plans! But remember, because of the cold front moving through the area today, it will be cooler tomorrow compared to today. Highs will only be in the 40s or low 50s.

But plan for events to end early as precipitation returns with the second round in the late afternoon and evening. This will be a wintry mix. Some will only see rain (southern half of our viewing area) and the some could see slushy snow (northern half).

It will continue through the rest of Sunday night.

And taper off rather early into overnight Sunday / Monday morning. It will be a chilly start to the day on Monday!

Possible Snow Totals & Locations:
Below are the areas I have highlighted most likely to see slushy accumulation. This is basically along and north of I-64. At this time it looks like we could see 1-2'' there of wet, slushy snow. Most of this will be confined to elevated surfaces, but a few slick and slushy spots are possible, particularly the more north you go in our viewing area. It is important to remember that even though we are seeing snow on Easter and the first day of April, spring snow does not last long. Even if we get some accumulation it will melt very quickly because the high will be nearly 60 degrees by Monday afternoon. A rain/snow mix is more likely to the south (about a dusting to a coating there) and it will be all rain to the south of the KY Parkways.

We will put out our own snow map in future blogs and on air this weekend. We will be making tweaks to the forecast all weekend long. Be sure to check back n air and online. Hannah will have more tonight on WDRB News this evening. Also tune in to WDRB in the Morning from 6-9 am for the latest with me! Until then, you can find me on social media with the links below!
