Another big winter storm is moving across the U.S. and causing problems for many folks, especially those getting the wintry mix across the Southeast. It’s just snow that’s falling across Kentuckiana, but it isn’t doing so equally. In fact, there will be an area of lighter snow sandwiched between two areas of higher snowfall totals. Let’s dig in!

In the picture above, you’ll see a snow band circled by a white line. This snow band was well-modeled in the data yesterday. It’s producing higher snowfall rates than much of the rest of the system, and that’s why the snowfall map below now has a dark blue area representing 3″ – 5″ across Southern Illinois and Southern Indiana. Much of the region along and south of the Ohio River will get 2″ – 4″ of snow in the light blue area. At this point, it looks like many places will be on the lower end of that range considering the dry air at the surface that slowed snowfall accumulation this morning. Another area of 3″ – 5″ of snow is outlined for Southern and Eastern KY, and the lower half of the range is most likely in that region too.
