…SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM POSSIBLE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY…
A WARM FRONT IS FORECAST TO MOVE NORTHWARD TOWARD THE REGION
THURSDAY. WARM AND MOIST AIR WILL MOVE UP AND OVER THE PRE-
EXISTING COLD SURFACE AIR IN PLACE ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL KENTUCKY

AT THIS TIME…IT APPEARS THAT A MIX OF FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET WILL
BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF KENTUCKY AND ALL OF
SOUTH-CENTRAL INDIANA…ALONG WITH SOME LIGHT SNOW POSSIBLE IN
SOUTHERN INDIANA AS WELL. WHILE THERE IS STILL QUITE A BIT OF
UNCERTAINTY TO THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM…GIVEN THE
AMOUNT OF MOISTURE EXPECTED…SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF FREEZING RAIN
AND SLEET WILL BE POSSIBLE. SHOULD THIS SCENARIO PLAY OUT…TRAVEL
WILL BECOME NEGATIVELY IMPACTED DURING THIS EVENT…ESPECIALLY
THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND THURSDAY NIGHT.
FURTHER SOUTH ACROSS SOUTHERN KENTUCKY…WARMER SURFACE TEMPERATURES
ARE EXPECTED TO KEEP THE PRECIPITATION PRIMARILY IN THE FORM OF
PLAIN RAIN.
