Freezing Rain Sunday Morning

 Special Weather Statement

Freezing rain may result in a light glaze of ice tomorrow morning over southern Indiana and north-central Kentucky. Freezing rain amounts up to a tenth of an inch are possible in southern Indiana, while amounts in northern Kentucky should be 0.05 inches or less. This glaze may result in hazardous driving conditions. 

A glaze can quickly form on elevated surfaces, but sidewalks and driveways may also become slick.

If you plan on driving tomorrow morning, be prepared for slick spots on untreated roadways. Temperatures are expected to warm above freezing by late morning.

Here is the probabilistic Snowfall Experiment. The farther northwest you are, the more likely you are to receive higher freezing rain totals.

First Snow of the Season Sunday Night-Monday

Hope everyone is enjoying their Thanksgiving weekend. Now I am turning my attention to the upcoming winter season. We will be looking at minor accumulations of snowfall late Sunday into Monday.

The farther east in Kentucky, the greater the chances are of exceeding snowfall amounts of 1 inch. Looking at the WPC down below, you can see the areas that are more likely to see accumulating snows.

Special Weather Statement

An area of low pressure over Mississippi is forecast to move northeastward and into southern West Virginia overnight. Widespread rain is expected across southern Indiana and central Kentucky throughout the evening and overnight.

Late tonight, colder air aloft will drop into the region from the west and northwest. This may result in some of the rain mixing with or changing over to snow at times late tonight. The best chance of this looks to occur across portions of central Kentucky. If this were to occur, a short burst of snow is possible which could produce a slushy accumulation. Surface temperatures are expected to remain above freezing overnight, so travel impacts look to remain quite limited.

Stay tuned to NOAA weather radio and you local media for the latest updates.
