Special Statement
... Wintry weather likely Monday night and early Tuesday...
An upper level weather system is forecast to move northeastward
into the lower Ohio Valley Monday night and Tuesday morning. As
this system heads into our region... widespread precipitation is
expected to develop.
With cold air already in place... the initial precipitation will
fall in the form of light snow... sometime around sunset Monday
evening. By late Monday night and early Tuesday morning... warmer
air aloft is forecast to move into portions of southern Kentucky.
This warm air likely will cause the snow to change over to a
wintry mix of rain... sleet... and possibly some freezing rain. At
this time... the best chances for a wintry mix appear to be south
of a line from Beaver Dam Kentucky to near Berea Kentucky. North
of that line... colder air likely will remain in place for light
snow to be the predominant precipitation type.
Surface temperatures are expected to remain near the freezing mark
Monday night and Tuesday morning... so some light accumulations of
snow will be possible... mainly across southern Indiana and
northern Kentucky. At this time... an inch or less of snowfall is
expected across that area.
The wintry precipitation likely will lead to some travel problems
Monday night and Tuesday morning. Surface temperatures... antecedent
Road conditions... and precipitation intensity will all play a role
in how negatively impacted things become.
Stay tuned to NOAA all hazards weather radio and your local media
for the latest updates on this winter weather situation.

... Wintry weather likely Monday night and early Tuesday...
An upper level weather system is forecast to move northeastward
into the lower Ohio Valley Monday night and Tuesday morning. As
this system heads into our region... widespread precipitation is
expected to develop across the region.
With cold air already in place ahead of this weather system... the
initial precipitation will fall in the form of light snow. This
light snow is expected to develop after sunset on Monday evening.
By late Monday night and early Tuesday morning... some warmer air
aloft is forecast to move into portions of southern Kentucky. This
will likely result in the snow changing over to a wintry mix of
rain... sleet and possibly some freezing rain. At this this
time... the best chances for a wintry mix appear to be south of a
line from Beaver Dam Kentucky to near Berea Kentucky. North of
that line... colder air will likely remain in place for light snow
to be the predominant precipitation type.
Surface temperatures are expected to remain near the freezing mark
Monday night and Tuesday morning... so some light accumulations of

portions of northern Kentucky. At this time... an inch or less of
snowfall accumulation is expected in this area.
The wintry precipitation will likely lead to some travel problems
