Forecast models are beginning to come into agreement with the placement of winter precipitation types. There is some potential for heavy freezing rain/sleet to snow Thursday night as moisture and arctic air dives through our region.
Winter Storm Watches and Warnings has been issued for Millions. The father Northwest you are, the more snow, the farther south and east the more rain and heavy freezing rain potential.
For Central Kentucky
Winter Storm Watch
* WHAT...Heavy freezing rain changing to sleet and snow. Total ice accumulations of up to one quarter of an inch. Total snow and sleet accumulations of several inches possible.
* WHERE...Portions of east central, north central and south central Kentucky.
* WHEN...From Thursday morning through Friday morning.
* IMPACTS...Power outages and tree damage are possible due to the freezing rain. Slippery road conditions due to sleet and snow will be possible Thursday afternoon through Friday morning. Plan on very difficult travel conditions.
Monitor the latest forecasts for updates on this situation.
Ice potential
The WPC has issued a 10% chance of accumulating greater than or equal to .25 (quarter of an inch of freezing rain) which is more than enough to start causing problems.
More updates to come later, in the meantime be sure you will have everything you need in the instance of an ice storm
