Good evening, Kentucky. We're wrapping up the day for you with the most important stories you need to know and your weather outlook.

Your Weather Planner

The sunshine on Friday did its best to counter the chilly air, but we’ll lose that benefit heading into tonight. As a weak disturbance rolls through, clouds will increase overnight, mainly in the northern half of Kentucky. Within these clouds, a few flurries or even snow showers are possible. A light dusting on the ground can’t be ruled out. Otherwise, bundle up.

Tomorrow's Forecast

The first day of the weekend will continue with the chance for flurries along with an overall increase in clouds. It will be a colder day with highs only in the 30s.
