.DISCUSSION...A strong low pressure system will move across the lower Great
Lakes tonight into Wednesday, bringing gusty winds to our area along with
a chance for light rain showers. Any lingering showers will mix with any
eventually change to snow Wednesday evening, and scattered light snow
accumulations are possible Wednesday night. A more widespread chance for
snowfall is possible across northern Kentucky and southern Indiana Thursday
night into Friday, though confidence in exactly where snowfall will occur is
still only moderate.
