Thursday, January 11, 2o18, 12:30pm

A Winter Storm Watch will go into effect Friday (1/12/18) morning and continue through Saturday (1/13/18) morning.

Rain will change to a mix of freezing rain and sleet and then end as a period of snow. The precipitation may be heavy at times and will lead to difficult travel conditions.

Snow and sleet accumulations of up to 4 inches with locally higher amounts is possible.

Ice accumulations of one to two tenths of an inch are also possible.

Lexington Emergency Management advises residents to avoid driving if possible during periods of heavy sleet and snowfall. Freezing rain and sleet can make roads slick and hazardous, especially in the evening hours when the air temperatures will be below freezing.
