NINE. OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS, WE’RE GOING TO GO FROM 50 DEGREES RIGHT NOW, WHICH IS ALREADY ABOVE NORMAL FOR THE TIME OF YEAR TO 59 MIDDAY. WE’RE GOING TO WATCH JUST A SLIGHT LITTLE CHANCE AROUND 10% OF A COUPLE OF SPOTTY SHOWERS, MAINLY NORTH OF THE METRO. MANY WILL BE STAYING DRY AS WE GO TO BREEZY. HIGHS NEAR 62 TODAY. 55 AT SIX, FALLING INTO THE 40S BY 9:00 BY MID FEBRUARY. STANDARDS. A REALLY NICE DAY. WE’LL JUST WATCH FOR A COUPLE OF THESE SPOTTY SHOWERS RIGHT ALONG STATE ROAD 56 BETWEEN SCOTTSBURG AND SALEM. YOU MIGHT GET A RAINDROP OR TWO. HARDLY ENOUGH TO WET THE GROUND. THIS IS FIGHTING A LOT OF DRY AIR AS IT PUSHES OFF TO THE EAST. AND AGAIN, MANY OF US ARE GOING TO STAY DRY. I THINK THAT CHANGES TOMORROW. WE HAVE IMPACT WEATHER FRIDAY RAIN DEVELOPS BY MID-AFTERNOON AS WE GET LATE IN THE AFTERNOON AND TOWARD THE EVENING, WE’LL START TO SEE A SHIFT FROM THAT RAIN OVER TO SNOW. EVEN WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME MINOR ACCUMULATIONS INTO FRIDAY EVENING. HERE’S A LOOK AT SOME OF THOSE SNOW OPPORTUNITIES NOW. WANT TO KEEP IN MIND HERE THAT THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS HAVE BEEN VERY MILD. THAT MEANS GROUND TEMPERATURES ARE WARM, SO IT’S GOING TO MELT SOME OF THE SNOW THAT FALLS INITIALLY. BUT I THINK ALL SAID AND DONE LOWER AMOUNTS. IN FACT, YOU COULD GET CLOSE TO NOTHING IN OUR FAR SOUTHERN COMMUNITIES AS THE RAIN HOLDS ON. BUT FROM THE PARKWAYS NORTHWARD, A DUSTING ON THE LOW SIDE, PERHAPS A COUPLE OF LOCATIONS ON THE ELEVATED SURFACES LIKE ROOFTOPS AND CAR TOPS COULD GET AN INCH OR TWO OF SNOW OUT OF THIS, AND THAT COULD AFFECT YOUR FRIDAY TRAVEL, I THINK THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON. IT’S ALL MAINLY WET, BUT AS THAT SNOW PICKS UP INTO THE EVENING, THE ROADS COULD GET A LITTLE BIT SLUSHY FOR THE EVENING COMMUTE, SO WE’LL WATCH OUT FOR A FEW OF THOSE SLICK SPOTS AND INTO THE NIGHTTIME WHEN TEMPERATURES FALL INTO THE 20S. ANYTHING LEFT UNTREATED COULD HAVE SOME ICY SPOTS WITH IT, SO WE’LL WATCH THOSE WINTRY IMPACTS FRIDAY EVENING. THEN. IT’S JUST CHILLY FOR THE WEEKEND. 24 FOR A LOW, 36 FOR A HIGH ON SATURDAY. WILL BE COLD IN THE MID 20S AGAIN SUNDAY MORNING, BUT START TO COME OUT OF THE COLDER AIR 49 AND SUNSHINE.

Impact weather is in the forecast on Friday as a storm system moves into the WLKY region. With it comes the chance for accumulating snow. Here's what to expect.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 into the area Friday afternoon. 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 rain and snow 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 snow 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 expected, especially on the grass, rooftops and elevated surfaces. The greatest concern for travel will be during the Friday evening commute, as temperatures will be colder. Any untreated roads could also be icy through Friday night and Saturday morning, with lows falling into the 20s.
