Jackson, Kentucky — Winter weather remains a concern across the Jackson, KY area as lingering snow showers continue today, followed by a rain-to-snow transition Friday night and additional chances for snow through the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Jackson, snow showers will gradually taper off today, with high temperatures between 25° and 32° and lows falling to 11°–21°. While snowfall amounts today should be light, untreated roads—especially in higher elevations—may remain slick.
On Friday, temperatures warm significantly, with highs ranging from 40° to 49°, allowing precipitation to fall mainly as rain during the day. However, rain is expected to transition to a rain/snow mix overnight, with lows dropping to 27°–34°. This changeover increases the risk for slick spots late Friday night into early Saturday, particularly on bridges and secondary roads.
Saturday brings a return to colder air, with scattered snow showers possible, highs of 35°–42°, and lows dipping to 12°–20°. Isolated to scattered snow showers may linger into early Sunday morning, when highs struggle to reach 23°–29°.
Quiet but cold conditions are expected to persist into MLK Jr. Day, with highs between 26° and 35° and lows as cold as 8°–13°.
Drivers should remain alert for changing road conditions, especially overnight and during early morning hours. Residents are encouraged to allow extra travel time, monitor updated forecasts, and use caution through the weekend as winter conditions continue.
