Impact weather: Rain and snow expected Friday

NEWS. A QUIET START TO OUR FRIDAY MORNING. IT’S NOT GOING TO END THAT WAY AS WE HAVE RAIN AND SNOW IN THE FORECAST FOR LATE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING, YOU’RE GOING TO BE GREETED TO TEMPERATURES IN THE 30S AS YOU STEP OUTSIDE. 37 AT ALI INTERNATIONAL, DOWN TO 31 IN BARDSTOWN. A LOT OF LOW 30S, THOUGH FOR MOST OF THE REGION. HIGHS MUCH CHILLIER THAN YESTERDAY. 65. WE’RE JUST 46 TODAY. AND WHILE IT’S A DRY START, WE’LL WATCH FOR WHAT STARTS AS RAIN BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON. SO AS WE GET TWO, THREE, 4:00 WE’RE BUILDING IN RAIN ACROSS THE AREA. THAT WILL START SHIFTING TO SNOW AS SOME COLDER AIR BUILDS IN LATE DAY AND INTO THE EVENING. SNOW IS GOING TO BE FLYING ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS AND THEN OVERNIGHT, ESPECIALLY AFTER MIDNIGHT, WE’RE CLEARING AND WE’RE TURNING MUCH COLDER. A LITTLE BIT OF A BREEZE TOO. WITH THAT LOW OF 26 BY TOMORROW MORNING. AT TIMES IT COULD FEEL LIKE THE TEENS FUTURECAST IN MOTION SHOWS THE DRY START TO THE DAY THROUGH LUNCH HOUR. SKIES ARE JUST THICKENING UP WILL BE PRETTY OVERCAST I THINK FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE AFTERNOON. THEN THE RAIN STARTS TO BUILD IN ACROSS THE REGION AGAIN. TEMPERATURES INTO THE 40S MAY EVEN PUSH 50 DEGREES FARTHER TO THE SOUTH, SO MILD ENOUGH FOR INITIALLY ALL RAIN. BUT THOSE NUMBERS ARE GOING TO START DROPPING AS THE RAIN MOVES ON IN. AND SO FIRST, IN OUR NORTH AND WESTERN COMMUNITIES OF SOUTHERN INDIANA. SO BY 4 OR 5:00, SNOW FLYING FROM NEAR SCOTTSBURG, SEYMOUR, BACK OVER TO SALEM AND PAOLI, STILL SOME RAIN IN THE METRO AND POINTS TO THE SOUTH. BUT NOTICE AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS, THE PROGRESSION OR THAT TRANSITION FROM RAIN TO SNOW BEGINS TO MARCH ON OFF TO THE SOUTH. SO I THINK BY SIX 7:00 WE’RE GOING TO SEE SOME SNOW FLYING ACROSS THE METRO, AND THAT’S GOING TO CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING HOURS. WE’LL START ENDING IT TO THE NORTH AND WEST BY 9:00. STILL SOME SNOW FLYING OFF TO THE SOUTH. BUT AS WE GET PAST 11:00 MIDNIGHT AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS, WE ARE QUIET. SKIES WILL BE CLEARING AS THOSE LOWS FALL WELL INTO THE 20S. OVERNIGHT NIGHT. WE’LL SEE SOME SUNSHINE TOMORROW, BUT THE NUMBERS ARE GOING TO STRUGGLE OVER THE COURSE OF THE WEEKEND IN TERMS OF HOW MUCH SNOW, ESPECIALLY ON THE GRASS. THE ELEVATED SURFACES LIKE A ROOFTOPS. OUR CAR TOPS. IT’S GOING TO BE AN INCH OR TWO FROM ABOUT THE I-64 FOR AREA AND POINTS TO THE NORTH, DUSTING TO AN INCH DOWN ALONG THE PARKWAYS. THE FARTHER SOUTH YOU LIVE THROUGH KENTUCKY, THE LOWER THE AMOUNTS WILL BE. MAY NOT GET ANYTHING AT ALL DOWN TOWARDS GREEN, TAYLOR AND ADAIR COUNTY. WE’LL WATCH IT CLOSELY. ALSO TRAVEL AS WELL LATE AFTERNOON AND THROUGH THE EVENING RUSH. I THINK ROADS ARE MAINLY WET IN THE METRO. KEEP IN MIND WE’VE BEEN COMING OFF THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS IN THE 60S, SO THOSE GROUND AND ROAD TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO BE A LITTLE WARMER THAN THE ACTUAL AIR TEMPERATURE AS WE GET LATER INTO THE EVENING WITH THAT SNOW FLYING, THOSE ROADS COULD BE SLUSHY AND ANYTHING LEFT UNTREATED OVERNIGHT COULD BE A LITTLE ICY TOO. SO JUST KIND OF KEEP THAT IN MIND, ESPECIALLY ON THE SECONDARY AND SIDE STREETS. SO WE HAVE ABOUT A WINNER TO GET THROUGH THROUGH TONIGHT. TOMORROW’S JUST A COLD DAY. LOWS IN THE MIDDLE 20S. HIGHS IN THE MIDDLE 30S. WE’RE BACK INTO THOSE 20 SUNDAY MORNING. BUT BEGIN TO COME OUT OF THE COLDER AIR. LOTS OF SUNSHINE IN 49 SUNDAY 50S MONDAY AND TUESDAY 65 ON WEDNESDAY. WE’LL KEEP THAT M
