AI-generated summary reviewed by our newsroom.

- Faster system track may limit accumulation and shift some forecast totals to rain.
Another round of snow is possible for Kentucky this week, and it could leave some areas with a couple of inches of snow.
A low-pressure system is expected to move through the region Tuesday, bringing chances of a wintry mix throughout the day. The National Weather Service said there is a dividing line within the storm that will leave areas to the north with more snow and areas to the south with more rain.
It’s not yet clear where that line will be, but weather models suggest the center of the system will move right through Central Kentucky, according to the NWS.
Lexington could get an inch of snow if the high-end scenario of the system occurs, according to the NWS. Areas north of the Interstate 64 have the potential to receive a couple inches of snow.
Any area that gets several hours of snowfall should receive measurable snow. The NWS said the latest weather models show the system potentially moving through the region faster than previously expected.
“This is also important, as it would limit any snow accumulation and could mean more rain than what was originally thought,” NWS meteorologists said in the area forecast discussion.
Lexington received 4.9 inches of snow in January, which is slightly above the normal amount of 4.7 inches, according to the NWS.
