Man, this pressure change in the air is killing me. My ears have been popping all morning like I'm on an airplane or something.

 

And I'm going to have to go to Kroger at some point today because my cupboard is barren. Not looking forward to that mess.

Just received this information from the National Weather Service-Louisville Office.

 

Rain will change over to snow from northwest to southeast this evening

Significant snowfall expected along with blowing and drifting snow

Locally higher amounts possible in bands.

Travel this evening and overnight will become very hazardous.

Some roads could be briefly impassable tonight in southern IN/northern KY including I-64 and parts of I-65.

Northwest winds gusting to 30-40 mph will usher in arctic air tonight.

Temperatures will plummet 20-30 degrees.

Single digit wind chills expected by Sunday Morning.

Could cause wet roads to freeze early Sunday Morning.

I'm going to hold off until later to update snow accumulation forecast totals.

 

While GFS-FV3 and NAM agree on some significant snow accumulation totals they don't agree where this area will be yet. GFS-FV3 has it in southern Indiana very close to Kentucky the NAM has it in Kentucky from just east of Louisville into northern Kentucky. If this holds true and it is in Kentucky people in that area could receive 12-14"+ of snow. So let us just wait and see until the afternoon runs are released. Also, I'm still concerned about the freezing rain accumulation potential, especially in southern Ohio.
