Arctic Blast Looms: Brutally Cold Temperatures and More Snow Expected in KY and IN
Here in western Kentucky and southern Indiana we are finally saying "Adios!" to Winter Storm Blair. As predicted, our first winter storm of 2025 dropped a combination of snow, sleet and freezing rain across the Tristate area. The threat of freezing rain and snow promoted the National Weather Service to issue a Winter Storm Warning for much of southern Indiana, an Ice Storm Warning for counties along the Ohio River, and a Winter Weather Advisory in southwestern Kentucky.
Monday morning, Blair went out with a blaze of glory as she dumped another one to three inches of snow on us before she officially made her way east. Well, unfortunately, that's not the only accumulating snow we'll see this week.
HOW MUCH SNOW WILL WE GET FRIDAY IN KENTUCKY AND INDIANA?
According to the National Weather Service, The Weather Channel, and AccuWeather, we could see additional snow accumulation on Friday. Because of the Arctic blast we're expecting to settle in the Tristate Tuesday into Wednesday, the snow and ice Blair left behind isn't expected to really go anywhere.
It now looks like we may add some more snow to the mix.
According to the National Weather Service Paducah, the forecast for Friday reads as follows:
FRIDAY: A chance of snow showers after noon. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 30.
FRIDAY NIGHT: A chance of snow showers, mainly before midnight. Mostly cloudy with a low around 19.
I also checked out the forecast from The Weather Channel. They agree that Friday will be a snowy one here in western Kentucky and southern Indiana.
The forecasters at AccuWeather are seeing the same trends. Here's their current Friday forecast.
