Special Weather Statement


... Light snow or a light wintry mix expected tonight...

An upper level disturbance will move into the lower Ohio Valley
tonight into Tuesday morning. With cold air already in
place... the initial precipitation will fall in the form of light
snow... mainly after sunset tonight. By early Tuesday
morning... warmer air aloft is forecast to move into portions of
southern Kentucky. This warm air will cause the snow to change
over to a wintry mix of sleet... and possibly over to all rain by
midday Tuesday. At this time... the best chances for a wintry mix
appear to be south of the Bluegrass Parkway. North of that
line... colder air likely will remain in place for light snow to be
the predominant precipitation type.

For portions of central and south central Kentucky... some light
accumulations of snow will be possible. At this time... an inch or
less of snowfall is expected across that area.

The snow or light sleet/snow mix will lead to some travel problems
tonight and into Tuesday morning. Stay tuned to NOAA all hazards
weather radio and your local media for the latest updates on this
winter weather situation.
