...Gusty Winds Today and Snow Showers Late Tonight into Monday...



Gusty southwest to west southwest winds will occur in the wake of

a departing cold front today. Sustained speeds of 10 to 20 mph are

expected, with gusts of 30 to 35 mph at times. The higher wind

gusts will diminish by early this evening. 



A potent upper level disturbance will move in late tonight into 

Monday, bringing another round of precipitation. This will start 

out as rain showers; however, as colder air moves in overnight 

tonight, rain showers will change over to snow showers. Warm 

ground temperatures will prevent much of the snow from sticking on

main roads; however, some bridges and overpasses may see a light 

coating for the Monday morning commute. In general, less than half

inch of snowfall is expected in the valleys. Ridgetops could see 

up to an inch. For elevations greater than 1500 feet in 

southeastern Kentucky, 1 to 3 inches of snowfall will be possible,

with a much greater likelihood of slick roads for the Monday 

morning commute, as temperatures will drop below freezing. The 

snow showers will gradually taper off from west to east during the

day.
