STORM ALERT!!!!

I am now officially in storm alert mode...for an explanation of storm alert mode, see previous post.

We are in a slight risk of having at least .25" of ice.

The slight risk for 4 inches of snow has moved to the east...

As mentioned before, rain will begin tonight and continue through Monday morning. At midday Monday, temperatures will begin to sharply drop to the freezing mark, freezing all the rain and causing slick roadways. This will also cause any rain to change to LIGHT freezing rain.

The real show looks to be tomorrow night-Tuesday morning. A mix of freezing rain/sleet/snow will occur. Tomorrow morning, I will try to pin down exactly what locations will see what precipitation. Tomorrow by 10am, I will do a post of my storm expectations.

As usual, there are many opinions on this storm...some say barely any ice, while others say an ice massacre over Louisville, while others say 1/2 foot of snow! That's why I am waiting until the morning to attempt to make a call on this system.

There is already a winter storm warning in effect for the Paducah/Evansville forecast area. Their warning states: "WIDESPREAD ICING IS EXPECTED. AMOUNTS COULD RANGE FROM ALOW END OF ABOUT 1/4 INCH OF ICE...TO POSSIBLY AS HIGH AS 3/4 INCHES OF ICE."

We will see what will come of this storm. I can't tell you how many opinions are floating around out there, so read the blog Monday morning and see what I have to say then...
