The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Lexington, starting at 4AM tomorrow.

For more on the forecast, go to the NWS Louisville forecast page.

KYTC District 7 highway crews in Central Kentucky are pre-treating ramps, bridges, overpasses and specific areas today.

The pre-treatment of “salt-brine” helps to melt and prevent ice from forming on road surfaces. The “salt-brine” is a salt water type treatment. This procedure is a low cost pro-active approach to address roadway safety concerns.

The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) suggests the following winter driving tips preventative measures:

  • Get your car serviced now
  • Check your battery
  • Check your cooling system
  • Fill your washer reservoir
  • Check your windshield wipers and defrosters
  • Know your car/every vehicle handles differently
  • Plan your travel and route/plan ahead
  • Stock your vehicle/emergency supplies
  • Learn what to do in a winter emergency
