Jackson, Kentucky – Cold conditions continue across eastern Kentucky this morning, with a few flurries possible before a gradual warming trend takes hold early next week.
According to the U.S. National Weather Service in Jackson, scattered flurries may occur early today, but no accumulation is expected. Otherwise, conditions will remain cold, with daytime highs in the 20s and overnight lows dropping into the single digits and teens across much of the region.
Another round of light snow showers is possible Sunday morning, mainly during the early hours. Any snow is expected to be brief and light, but slick spots could develop on untreated roads, bridges, and overpasses. Drivers traveling along Interstate 75, U.S. Route 23, Kentucky Route 15, and nearby secondary roads should use caution during the Sunday morning travel period.
Temperatures will begin to moderate Sunday afternoon as warmer air gradually moves into the region. A more pronounced warm-up is expected Monday and Tuesday, with highs climbing into the 40s and 50s Monday and potentially reaching the upper 50s to mid-60s by Tuesday.
The National Weather Service notes that cloud cover will decrease Monday, allowing for improved travel conditions and milder daytime weather. Overnight lows will also rise, reducing the risk of icy conditions during the early morning commute.
The next weather system is expected to arrive Tuesday night into Wednesday, bringing a higher likelihood of rain across eastern Kentucky. While details remain uncertain, rain could impact midweek travel, especially during overnight and morning hours.
The changing conditions may affect commuters, students, and outdoor workers as the region transitions from winter cold to spring-like temperatures within a few days.
Residents are encouraged to monitor official National Weather Service updates for changes in snowfall timing Sunday morning and details on the midweek rain potential.
