Winter Storm Watch 2/10-11/21

[nWo]

 

Snow and Wintry Mix Expected Tonight... ...Significant Sleet and Ice Accumulations Expected Late Tuesday through Thursday.. .An upper level disturbance and surface trough will bring wintry precipitation to the region from late this afternoon through tonight. The precipitation may briefly begin as a rain/snow mix, then change to mostly snow in southern Indiana and a wintry mix in north central Kentucky for the evening hours. Overnight some freezing rain or freezing drizzle is expected, and may create a light glaze. A secondary winter weather event is expected to begin late Tuesday as a wintry mix of sleet and freezing rain develop across the region. Current forecasts suggest that significant amounts of freezing rain and sleet will be possible across portions of southern Indiana and Central Kentucky. For this reason, a Winter Storm Watch has been issued.
