When's It Going To Start??? 11:00am Report

Just finished looking at current conditions in western KY. Since 7am, the temperature is Paducah has dropped from 39 to the current 11:00am reading of 28. Not a huge drop by Arctic standards. Nevertheless, the colder air is advancing and along with that flurries being reported as well.

Owensboro is now down to 30, down 10 degrees since 7am with light snow being reported.

Here in Louisville, the current reading is 44, down a few degrees over the past few hours. At my house, the temperature was 43. However, as I have been typing this, the temperature has dropped 2 more degrees to 41. The front must be quite near or has just passed through as showers are occurring.

NWS office is Louisville has bumped up start time of snow here by noon time. They still don't anticipate impacts to area roadways until later this afternoon, say around rush hour. However, the expectation of reduced visibilities and frequent bursts of heavy snow will cause problems out there for motorists.

Based on speed of this system along with modest temperature declines, points east of Louisville could see changeover to snow by 3pm at the latest (Lexington).

Again, impacts to roadways should not commence until 4pm or so here in Louisville.

At this time, we will be in Nowcast mode. Your reports will be appreciated as this will tell everyone how strong the snow squalls are and what to expect in adjacent counties.
