Our next big weather maker is a winter storm that rolls into Kentucky Tuesday night into Wednesday. Models are in great agreement on amounts and placement. Several inches of snow are going to be likely at this point with below-zero wind chills Thursday and Friday morning.

We have a lot going on over the next few days. FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAYS will continue throughout this week. Areas shaded in green are currently under some sort of flood warning. We also have Winter Weather Advisories out for tonight and even Winter Storm Watches for the middle of the week.
