February 6, 20188 yr For now, it looks like most of the possible snow accumulations will be in the Cincinnati/NKY area. I'm going to up my totals from 2-4" last night to 5-7". Also, parts of NKY could be looking at anywhere from .10-.50" of freezing rain accumulations. The heavier amounts will be just south of Cincinnati. The freezing rain could bright down some of the snow accumulation totals. South of this area will mainly see from freezing rain to all rain. As most of the freezing rain will be along and around the Ohio River area. Those in the Louisville area could see around .25" in freezing rain accumulations. WKY is looking at mainly a freezing rain event with possible accumulations from .05-.30". These could change if there is a shift in the track of this system. The rest of Kentucky is looking at rain accumulations 1.5". This is the reason the flood watch was issued. Snow Freezing rain Rain

February 7, 20188 yr That's the thing, it only takes one or two accidents on 75 south for an hour and a half drive to turn into a 4 hour drive. That's why I opted to stay in Richmond tonight.
February 7, 20188 yr Author Final update on this system The track shifted north some overnight. So where the possible snow accumulations will be shifted some also. The Cincinnati/NKY area is now looking to get 2-4" of snow. With this shift, the freezing rain accumulations moved also. There is also now a chance for a greater amount of freezing rain accumulations, especially in the Winter Storm Warning area. The heaviest amounts look to be from .50 to .70" freezing rain accumulations. Those south of I-64 are now looking at mainly rain. Here are the latest maps from the HRRR model.
