Jackson, KY – Snow showers are expected to impact parts of eastern Kentucky tonight, with temperatures dipping into the teens before a welcome warm-up this weekend. Residents should prepare for freezing conditions during the evening hours, especially along major routes like Route 23 and Highway 15, where icy patches could develop.

According to the National Weather Service in Jackson, flurries will likely persist through early Friday morning, with minimal accumulation—generally less than half an inch. Travelers should remain cautious of slippery conditions overnight. Temperatures are expected to climb into the mid-30s Friday afternoon under partly cloudy skies, offering some relief from the week’s chill.

Saturday marks the start of a warming trend, with sunny skies and highs nearing 45 degrees across eastern Kentucky. This will provide ideal conditions for outdoor plans and road travel. Saturday night will be mostly cloudy, with lows dropping to 29.

The warmth continues Sunday, as highs are forecast to reach 45 degrees. Despite mostly clear skies, a slight chance of snow returns late Sunday night into Monday morning. Early next week, residents can expect a mix of light rain and snow, with temperatures remaining in the mid-40s.

Local officials encourage residents to stay updated on weather forecasts and take precautions for icy roadways tonight and early Friday. With warming trends on the horizon, outdoor conditions should improve significantly by the weekend.

Spotter activation is not expected at this time, according to the hazardous weather outlook.
