Sunday/Early Evening

OK, here is the deal on the winter weather situation.

National Weather Services in Louisville, Paducah, Central Illinois, and St. Louis have all issued some type of winter weather advisory, watch, or warning.

The first round of precip tomorrow will be fairly light, but by tomorrow night the precipitation will pick up in intensity, especially across Southern Indiana and Northern Kentucky. Snow, sleet, and freezing rain will all accompany this storm system. I would not be suprised to see significant amounts of ice accumulation across the entire viewing area. Power outages will become a possibility as well. Its is astonishing how fast the temperatures are dropping behind the cold front...this is frankly a cold front that will have major implications on a good part of the Ohio Valley. More later...

Patrick,

Carl...Most of the post frontal precipitation kind of fizzled as it cane this way. IF schools do close early it would NOT be because of precip falling from the skies but flash freezing on the road ways....PS
