SERVICES THE AMBASSADOR TEAM OFFERS. NOW YOUR WLKY WEATHER WITH CHIEF METEOROLOGIST JAY CARDOSI AND WHAT A BEAUTIFUL VALENTINE’S DAY! IT TURNED OUT TO BE. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT ALL THE SUNSHINE WE WERE EXPECTING FOR TODAY. THE LIGHT WIND, THE WARM TEMPERATURES AND BOY MOTHER NATURE TRULY DELIVERED ON THIS WEDNESDAY 60. THE AFTERNOON HIGH STARTED OUT AT 38. EVEN RIGHT NOW. CLEAR SKIES, LIGHT WIND. THE OHIO. RIVER RIGHT NOW IS LIKE GLASS BECAUSE OF THE CALM BREEZES OUT THERE. NOW FROM THE NORTHEAST, FIVE MILES AN HOUR OR SO, WE’RE DOWN TO 57. IT’S STILL BEAUTIFUL OUT THERE. HUMIDITY 40%. ALL RIGHT. OTHER TEMPERATURES. COOLEST TO THE NORTH AS WE HAVE LOW 50S ACROSS SOUTHERN INDIANA. UP THE I 71 CORRIDOR OVER TO NEAR SHELBYVILLE. OTHERWISE PLENTY OF UPPER 50S TO NEAR 60. STILL AT THIS TIME. BUT HERE’S THE DEAL. IF YOU ARE HEADING OUT TO YOUR FAVORITE RESTAURANT ON YOUR VALENTINE’S EVENING, JUST KNOW WE HAVE RELATIVELY LIGHT WINDS. CLEAR SKIES. IT’S MID-FEBRUARY. IT’S GOING TO GET COOL IN A HURRY. ONCE THAT SUN GOES DOWN 57, WHICH WE HAVE NOW WILL TURN INTO THE LOW 50S QUICKLY. BY 8:00. HERE COME THE 40S. A LITTLE BIT LATER ON, JUST A COUPLE OF CLOUDS AS WE MOVE TOWARDS DAYBREAK TOMORROW AND TEMPERATURES ARE QUITE MILD FOR OVERNIGHT LOWS, AS WILL BOTTOM OUT IN THE LOW 40S. LOOK AT THIS. QUIET WEATHER PATTERN ALL ACROSS OUR REGION AND AGAIN, WE’RE GOING TO HOLD ON TO THAT TONIGHT THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING. BUT I’M WATCHING A COUPLE OF SYSTEMS OFF TO THE WEST. THERE’S ONE OUT HERE IN THE PLAINS AND THE UPPER MIDWEST THAT’LL BRING US SOME CLOUDS MIDDAY TOMORROW, MAYBE A STRAY OR A SPOTTY SPRINKLE OR LIGHT SHOWER. BUT A LOT OF THAT ENERGY IS GOING TO GO OFF TO THE NORTH OF US. IT’S THIS ONE OUT HERE IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. THAT’S THE ONE THAT’S GOING TO BRING US A LITTLE BIT MORE SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT, WHETHER THEY’RE IN HERE FRIDAY, FRIDAY AFTERNOON IN PARTICULAR INTO FRIDAY EVENING. WE’LL TALK ABOUT THAT IN A SECOND. FIRST OFF, TOMORROW MORNING IT’S QUIET. WE WAKE UP TO SOME SUNSHINE, UPPER 30S AND LOW 40S WILL GREET YOU. NOT BAD. RIGHT. THERE’S YOUR SUNSHINE IN THE MORNING. THEN A FAST MOVING BAND OF CLOUDS WILL MOVE THROUGH MIDDAY. WITH THAT, A CHANCE FOR SPOTTY SHOWER, A FEW SPRINKLES, IT WON’T LAST. IT’S QUICKLY OFF TO THE EAST. WE’LL GO PARTLY SUNNY, DEEPER INTO THE AFTERNOON. LISTEN, TOMORROW IS GOING TO BE BREEZY, BUT IT’S GOING TO BE MILD AGAIN AS WE’RE TALKING ABOUT UPPER 50S TO NEAR 60 ON YOUR THURSDAY. RIGHT AROUND 60 IN TOWN. A TOUCH COOLER THE FARTHER NORTH YOU GO. NOW FOR THAT IMPACT. WEATHER THAT’S EXPECTED TO MOVE IN HERE FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND FRIDAY NIGHT. IT’S GOING TO COME FROM THAT OTHER SYSTEM THAT’S CURRENTLY IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. WELL, HERE IT COMES. AS WE MOVE ON INTO FRIDAY, CLOUDS WILL THICKEN UP. CHANCES FOR SOME LIGHT RAIN DEVELOPING ON FRIDAY EARLY AFTERNOON AS THE LOW GOES BY, IT DRAGS IN THE COLDER AIR SO THAT RAIN WILL LIKELY CHANGE OVER TO A PERIOD OF SNOW LATER FRIDAY AFTERNOON. CONTINUE FRIDAY EVENING AND YES, A CHANCE FOR SOME SNOW ACCUMULATIONS, BUT I DON’T THINK IT’S GOING TO BE A BLOCK BUSTER STORM BY ANY STRETCH OF THE IMAGINATION. ASIAN GROUND TEMPERATURES ARE VERY, VERY WARM, AND BY THE TIME THEY BECOME COLD ENOUGH, THE SYSTEM WILL BE MOVING OUT. SO THERE YOU GO. THAT’S WHY I’M NOT EXPECTING A HUGE SNOWSTORM. BUT YES, SOME LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS ARE CERTAINLY POSSIBLE AS WE GO OVER TO THAT SNOW FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND ALSO INTO FRIDAY EVENING. I’LL KEEP YOU POSTED. WE GOT PLENTY OF TIME TO WATCH IT. HERE’S YOUR FORECAST. QUIET AND COOL. CLEAR SKIES, 50S BACK INTO THE 40S. YOUR DETAILED 12 HOUR FORECAST TOMORROW. COULD BE A SPOTTY SHOWER MIDDAY. OTHERWISE A MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS AND WARM, BREEZY TOMORROW 60. OKAY, THERE’S THAT IMPACT WEATHER FRIDAY, UH, FRIDAY NIGHT WE CLEAR IT OUT. WE’RE DOWN TO 24. SATURDAY MORNING. WOW. 36. THE HIGH SATURDAY. THAT’S A COLD DAY. IT DOESN’T LAST, GUYS. WE’RE BACK NEAR 50 SUNDAY. AND HOW ABOUT ONE WEEK FROM TODAY PUSHING THE MID 60S AGAIN. SO CAN YOU WORK THAT ON A WEEKEND THERE.

Impact weather is in the forecast on Friday as a storm system moves into the Louisville area. With it comes the chance for some accumulating snow. Here's what we know so far.INTERACTIVE RADAR| ACTIVE WEATHER ALERTSThe exact strength and track of the storm will determine precipitation type on Friday and how much snow could actually stick. Right now, it looks like an area of low pressure will move just south of the area on Friday. That track will allow colder air to move into the area, bringing a good chance for snow across the region.The precipitation will likely begin as rain, but as the colder air moves in, the rain will transition to snow. Temperatures will start in the 40s but quickly fall into the 30s as the precipitation gets going. Download the WLKY app for up-to-date weather alertsStream weather from WLKY anytime on Very Local A couple of things to note are the warmer-than-normal ground temperatures, plus the precipitation will be falling during the day. These factors may limit snowfall accumulations, meaning impacts will be low during the day. However, if the precipitation falls heavy enough, then it could overcome these issues, allowing the snow to stick. Overall, it's not looking like a big storm, but some accumulation is possible, especially on grassy surfaces. The greatest concern for travel will be during the Friday evening commute, as temperatures will be colder.
