The first snowflakes of the season are falling in the higher elevations of the Cumberland Mountains, and this cold, wet pattern is going to stick around through tonight before we finally get a break.</p><p>Here’s what’s happening: a deep upper level low is parked over the Eastern US, and it’s bringing wave after wave of disturbances through our area. Rain and snow showers are ongoing, with the snow level sitting right around 2,500 feet elevation. That means the higher terrain along the Virginia state line is seeing the white stuff, while lower elevations are dealing with rain. We’re looking at about 0.12″ of rain today, with more precipitation possible tonight as another shortwave moves through.</p><p>Tonight’s going to be the coldest night we’ve seen so far this season. Lows are expected to range from the upper 20s to the mid 30s, depending on where you are. The mountains could dip into the upper 20s, while valleys might see the low 30s. Cloud cover and precipitation will help keep some areas a bit warmer, but it’s still going to be a cold one.</p><p>Saturday will be another chilly day with highs only reaching the mid-40s. Some clearing is expected as the upper trough moves east, but it’s going to stay cloudy, especially in southeastern Kentucky where upslope effects will keep clouds and moisture around.</p><p>Here’s the good news: the pattern changes dramatically starting Sunday. High pressure will build in from the Midwest, and we’ll see dry weather take over. Highs on Sunday will be in the upper 40s to low 50s, but the real warming starts Monday. By midweek, we’re looking at highs in the low to mid-60s, and some areas could even touch the upper 60s. That’s a dramatic turnaround from where we are now.</p><p>Sunday night into early Monday will be cold with valley temperatures potentially dropping into the mid-20s, but after that, lows will start climbing as warmer air moves in. By the end of the week, overnight lows will be in the 40s.</p><p>Make sure you stay with the WYMT First Alert Weather App and WYMT First Alert WeatherNOW for the latest updates on tonight’s snow potential and the warming trend ahead.</p></div></body>
