Area residents spending the Thanksgiving holiday in central Kentucky will likely not be seeing snow in the forecast, but after moisture from Tuesday clears the area they will see colder temperatures.
“We’re going to stay pretty cloudy as the system passes to our north with some low-level cloud cover,” said Meteorologist Kyle Wilkins with the National Weather Service in Louisville. “Southern Kentucky will likely stay clear, but clouds will probably extend south through E-Town, and then we stay dry but we have clearing conditions for Thanksgiving and Black Friday coming through with the clearer skies so we are going to see falling temperatures.”
Wilkins says the high on Thursday is going to be near 40, and the high on Friday is in the mid to upper 30s. Thursday night and Friday night temperatures are going to get a bit cooler with lows near 20.
For those traveling, weather may cause travel impacts in the east and northeast, and lake effect weather could push some snow into central Indiana. Travelers on the way home in Kentucky might see some rain Saturday and Sunday, but Wilkins says if the system shifts it could bring some snow.
“On the backside of that later Sunday, we’re going to see falling temperatures again, so it’s possible any remaining moisture will freeze with temperatures going down to the mid 20s Sunday night,” Wilkins said
