In Depth:
Bitter cold arctic air is set to move into the mid-state late Thursday afternoon. As the air arrives we'll see a brief window of blowing snow which will make travel hazardous throughout the afternoon and evening hours. The threat of snow combined with dangerous cold has prompted a Storm 5 Alert starting at 4pm Thursday ending at noon Friday.
Wind will gust between 25-35mph as the cold air arrives causing blowing snow on roads.
Snowshowers should only last a couple hours but will put down roughly 1"-2" across the area with slightly higher totals possible in our Kentucky counties and in the highest elevations of the plateau.
Bitter cold settles in behind the front which will lead to single digit (and even sub-zero) temperatures by Friday morning. The wind will remain gusty sending wind chills as low as -20 in some spots.
Temperatures will remain below freezing through Monday afternoon.
