A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 7 PM EST THIS EVENING TO 6 AM EST THURSDAY.

Mixed wintry precipitation is expected this evening and into the overnight period. Less than 1 inch of snow, and less than a tenth of an inch of ice glaze in Indiana. A tenth to a quarter inch of ice glaze in Kentucky.

Predominantly freezing rain across central Kentucky. Mix of freezing rain, sleet, and snow over southern Indiana.

Precipitation will begin by sunset in south central Kentucky and spread north into southern Indiana by late evening. The worst impacts will be late this evening and after midnight.

Plan on ice accumulation on exposed and elevated objects such as trees, power lines, and elevated decks and sidewalks. Some negative travel impacts will be possible tonight…mainly on bridges and overpasses. Surface temperatures are expected to warm above freezing around daybreak Thursday.

A Winter Weather Advisory for mixed precipitation means that periods of freezing rain, sleet, and snow may cause travel difficulties. Be prepared for slippery roads late this evening and during the overnight period.
