Winter Storm Threat

A disturbance tonight is expected to produce light snow tonight. This is not the main storm. 

Special Weather Statement

Light snow showers are expected to develop after midnight tonight over southern Indiana and move east through north central and east central Kentucky through Friday morning. Any snow accumulations are expected to be under a half inch and mainly on grassy or elevated surfaces. However a brief light snow accumulation may result in a few slick spots on roads.

Drivers should use caution and slow down in snow showers during the Friday morning commute. Light snow is expected to exit the area by midday.

Winter Storm Watch

* WHAT...A wintry mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain is expected from early Sunday through Monday afternoon. Snow and sleet amounts of greater than 4 inches and significant ice accumulations of greater than a quarter of an inch are expected in the watch area.

* WHERE...All of southern Indiana and the northern half of central Kentucky.

* WHEN...From late Saturday night through Monday afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Travel is expected to become slick and hazardous on Sunday and continue into Monday. Travel may become impossible at times Sunday afternoon and evening. Significant ice accumulations across portions of the watch area may result in tree and power line damage. Power outages will be possible.

Residents of southern Indiana and central Kentucky should prepare for this winter storm. Stay abreast of the latest forecasts at weather.gov/lmk.

NAM icing potential, not official.

GFS icing potential, not official. 

So, we are still a few days out, there will be tweaks to the models with each new run. Nonetheless disruptive weather is on the way and an Ice storm is looking probable over a good chunk of the state of Kentucky. I would prepare well in advance for the potential for power outages from falling tree limbs and down powerlines due to icing.
