Really, more snow? Louisville could get 2 to 4 inches Friday and Saturday

All right, Mother Nature, April Fools is over.

After a series of thunderstorms and strong winds battered counties south of Louisville on Tuesday, meteorologists are saying there's a possibility of snow on Friday and Saturday.

Yes, really.

"It's still a little early," National Weather Service Meteorologist Kyle Wilkins said. "But the numbers in the forecast show about 2 to 4 inches of snow north of Elizabethtown."

Wilkins said Tuesday's storms are to blame, as a cold front makes its way into Kentucky and pushes the hot air out.

Tuesday's storms hit parts of Grayson, Hardin and LaRue counties pretty hard, according to Wilkins. Edmonson, Hart, and Taylor counties were hit with slight damage.

Wilkins said the National Weather Service is unsure if a tornado hit parts of Indiana and Kentucky, surveyors will look at affected counties to determine if they hit.

Snow has hit hard in Louisville this Spring. On March 20, Louisville had 3.7 inches, the most since 1996.
