Winter to return after mild weekend

KENTUCKY PRESS NEWS SERVICE
It will be wet and warm across most of Kentucky on Saturday as rain hits the state and the mercury heads for the low 50s - not hot but definitely warmer than recent days.

But the National Weather Service says what it calls a winter weather event is poised to affect several states, including Kentucky, from Monday night through Wednesday morning. The storm will have the potential for significant impact on the region but the weather service said the storm is still too far out to say with much certainty exactly what kind of precipitation we will get and how much and where.

We could end up seeing snow, rain, freezing rain or sleet, NWS said.

In the meantime, daytime highs will be in the mid 30s on Sunday, upper 30s on Monday and Tuesday and back to the mid 30s on Wednesday. But by the time Thursday and Friday of next week arrive, it will turn cold with daytime highs both days in the upper 20s.
