Some parts of the state could get more snow this weekend, the National Weather Service predicts, and the bitter cold will persist statewide.
Eastern and southeastern Kentucky have a good chance of getting snow late Friday into Saturday.
Philomon Geertson, lead meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Jackson, says southeastern Kentucky, especially along the Virginia border, could see the most.
Geertson said he’s watching counties near the Virginia border.
“We are watching the areas southeast of the Kentucky 80 and Hal Rogers Parkway corridor, more towards Pike, Letcher, Harlan, those counties,” he said. “They actually have a fairly good chance at exceeding four inches of snow with this event.”
One thing that won’t be different from the past several days: persistent cold.
“Then on Saturday, we're only looking at highs in the teens, really,” Geertson said. “Some places may actually struggle to reach 10 degrees, some of the colder places on Saturday and then Saturday night just bitterly cold. We’re looking at widespread single digits.”
He said temperatures will finally rise above freezing by Tuesday and Wednesday.
