Many Kentuckians may see rain or snow this holiday weekend. Jackson National Weather Service Forecaster Pete Geogerian says warm temperatures might mean as much as three inches of rainfall in some sections of the Commonwealth.
But temperatures are expected to plummet heading into Christmas Day, and Georgerian says that could cause some black ice concerns.
“After all that rain we’re also going to be kind of concerned about wet areas refreezing on the roads so folks traveling Christmas Day or out and about Christmas Day want to be careful out there,” said Georgerian.
Temperatures are expected to turn much colder near Christmas Day and that might mean some snow. “I guess for those that are up really early in the morning or even overnight Christmas Eve they’ll probably see a few flakes flying out there,” noted Georgerian.
Georgerian says it appears the biggest threat of flooding will be in low lying areas in central to western Kentucky. He says eastern Kentucky has a greater chance for snow.
