Crews will continue clearing downed trees from roadways.  Clearing sidewalks of debris comes next as well as general debris removal.

Streets continue to be slick in spots. Residents are asked to avoid travel if possible. Temperatures will not get above freezing until tomorrow.

The Ice Storm Warning for Lexington has been CANCELLED. No additional ice accumulations are expected. Travel will remain difficult in some areas. Power outages are likely to continue. 10 to 20 mph winds from the northeast could cause more outages. Only travel today if you must.

Temperatures are expected to remain below freezing.

DO NOT APPROACH DOWNED POWER LINES. Power outage websites: KU: https://stormcenter.lge-ku.com/default.html/ BGE: http://outage.bgenergy.com/

Light wintry precipitation will be possible late Friday into early Saturday, especially east of Interstate 65 and closer to the Lake Cumberland region and along the I 75 corridor.

Bitterly cold air will really take hold late Saturday night into Tuesday. Low temperatures in the single digits are possible with wind chills at times below zero Sunday and Monday mornings.

Low pressure tracking out of the southwest will spread moisture north into the region Monday…interacting with cold temperatures to bring chances for a wintry mix Monday into Tuesday. This storm bears watching for significant accumulating snows to the north and a wintry mix to the south.
