The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for central Kentucky, including Lexington.

Snow is expected with total snow accumulations of two to four inches.

Plan on slippery road conditions, especially on secondary roads that are untreated.

A Winter Weather Advisory for snow means periods of snow will cause primarily travel difficulties. Expect snow covered roads and limited visibilities, and use caution while driving.
