...WINTER STORM IN PROGRESS...

A MIXTURE OF SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN WILL CONTINUE FOR A PERIOD LATE
THIS MORNING. SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS OF ICE CAN BE EXPECTED,
MAKING TRAVEL VERY HAZARDOUS. BEHIND THE BAND OF FREEZING RAIN AND
SLEET, AN AREA OF DRY AIR ALOFT WILL MOVE INTO THE VICINITY, ALLOWING
PRECIPITATION RATES TO DIMINISH SOMEWHAT FOR A PERIOD. SOME VERY
LIGHT FREEZING RAIN OR FREEZING DRIZZLE WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE.

HOWEVER, INTO EARLY AFTERNOON, NEW FORECAST DATA IS SUGGESTING AN
AREA OF PRECIPITATION NOW OVER ARKANSAS AND WESTERN TENNESSEE MAY
MOVE BACK INTO THE REGION SOMETIME THIS AFTERNOON, ALLOWING FOR
ANOTHER PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN AND ICE BUILD UP, WITH THE GREATEST
POTENTIAL OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF KENTUCKY AND ALL OF SOUTHERN
INDIANA. OVER FAR SOUTHERN KENTUCKY, TEMPERATURES LOOK TO RISE ABOVE
FREEZING AFTER NOON, ALLOWING FOR THE PRECIPITATION TO FALL IN THE
FORM OF RAIN.

ALL INTERESTS IN CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND SOUTH CENTRAL INDIANA SHOULD
REMAIN ABREAST OF THE LATEST FORECASTS. TRAVEL WILL REMAIN QUITE
HAZARDOUS, EVEN IF THE FREEZING RAIN LETS UP FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. IF
YOU MUST TRAVEL PACK A WINTER SURVIVAL KIT.
