Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Kentucky Weather Podcast — it's Monday, February 23rd.

Kentucky just split in half overnight. Eastern Kentucky woke up to snow showers and a Winter Weather Advisory that runs until 7 PM. Counties like Harlan, Floyd. And Pike are staring down 1 to 2 inches of snow.. With wind gusts to 30 miles an hour creating sudden whiteouts. If you're traveling east of I19 degrees today, slow way down. Bridges and overpasses stay icy well into the afternoon.

The rest of us? Dry but **brutal**. Louisville and Lexington bottomed out at 21 degrees, with wind chills near 19 degrees this morning. You'll climb to 34 by 1 PM, then crash back to 22 by 4 AM. Central Kentucky barely touches 31 around 2 PM, with wind chills at 19 degrees this morning. That's the kind of cold that finds every crack in your coat. South Central Kentucky fares slightly better — highs near 35 by 4 PM — but you're still waking up to a feels-like 19 degrees around 6 AM.

Eastern Kentucky sees snow peak around 7 AM, then taper by 4 PM. Temperatures climb from 23 to 34 by 3 PM. Tonight, any lingering snow quits. And lows drop to 23. North Central Kentucky stays windy, with northwest gusts to 22 miles an hour. It'll feel like 11 around 8 AM despite partly sunny skies. Central Kentucky catches a few scattered snow showers before 11 AM, then clears slightly. Lows tonight plummet to 19 — one of the coldest spots statewide.

Here's the good news. Tuesday jumps to the mid-40s. Wednesday night brings soaking rain — up to an inch in the east. By Friday, we're in the 50s. And Saturday? **66 degrees** in South Central Kentucky. Yes, 66. Just days after snow showers.

Today. Spring's coming, but it's taking the scenic route.

That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
