An early spring feel will be with us to start the new work week. A system will look to bring rain Wednesday night and Thursday but it won't be a significant amount which certainly is good news.

It's a frigid morning as temperatures are mainly in the teens across our area. Temperatures though will at least get above freezing for this afternoon!

Our next big weather maker is a winter storm that rolls into Kentucky Tuesday night into Wednesday. Models are in great agreement on amounts and placement. Several inches of snow are going to be likely at this point with below-zero wind chills Thursday and Friday morning.

We have a lot going on over the next few days. FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAYS will continue throughout this week. Areas shaded in green are currently under some sort of flood warning. We also have Winter Weather Advisories out for tonight and even Winter Storm Watches for the middle of the week.

There is a lot of news coming at us each day. It’s a lot to process and can feel pretty overwhelming. While we can’t afford to check out, it’s okay to take a break for your mental health.

Take care of yourself and we will get through this together.
