Special Statement

... A wintry mix of precipitation tonight into early Tuesday
morning...

A weakening upper level disturbance will move into the lower Ohio
Valley tonight and Tuesday morning. A wintry mix of precipitation
is expected... ranging from mostly snow and sleet in northern
Kentucky to a snow/sleet/freezing rain/rain mix in central and
southern portions of the state. By early Tuesday morning warmer
air aloft is forecast to move in and cause the mix to change over
to light rain everywhere by mid morning.

The wintry mix may lead to scattered travel problems tonight and
early Tuesday morning. Deeper valleys may see some icing from
spotty light freezing rain as well. Stay tuned to NOAA all hazards
weather radio and your local media for the latest updates on this
winter weather situation.
