...WINTRY WEATHER POSSIBLE FOR THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK AND NEXT SUNDAY...

AN EXPANSIVE STORM SYSTEM WILL SPREAD FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS THROUGH
THE OHIO VALLEY AND INTO NEW ENGLAND LATE THIS WEEK. ACROSS THE OHIO
VALLEY...AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL SLIDE THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING
WITH COLD AIR GRADUALLY WORKING IN BEHIND IT THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH
FRIDAY NIGHT. HOWEVER...A LAYER OF WARM AIR WILL REMAIN IN PLACE
ABOVE THE COLD AIR OVER THE REGION. THIS WILL BRING PRECIPITATION
TYPES INTO QUESTION EARLY FRIDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT.

CURRENT DATA SUGGESTS RAIN WILL BEGIN TRANSITIONING TO A MIX OF
WINTRY PRECIPITATION ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN INDIANA AS EARLY
AS MIDNIGHT THURSDAY NIGHT. BY FRIDAY MORNING...THIS TRANSITION
LINE OF RAIN TO A WINTRY MIX IS EXPECTED TO SLOWLY SLIDE SOUTHEAST
TOWARD THE OHIO RIVER...AND THEN SOUTH OF THE RIVER THROUGH THE
DAY FRIDAY. PRECIPITATION TYPE IS EXPECTED TO STAY ALL RAIN
SOUTHEAST OF A BOWLING GREEN TO LEXINGTON LINE ON FRIDAY.

BY FRIDAY NIGHT...COLD AIR WILL BEGIN CRASHING IN AT ALL LEVELS
LIKELY CHANGING MUCH OF THE PRECIPITATION OVER TO LIGHT SNOW AS
THE EVENT ENDS OVERNIGHT. ACROSS THE LAKE CUMBERLAND REGION A
LIGHT WINTRY MIX MAY TAKE OVER TO END THE EVENT.

THE OVERALL PRECIPITATION TYPE EVOLUTION AND EXACT TIMING ARE NOT
YET FULLY KNOWN AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER...CONFIDENCE OF AN
IMPACTFUL WINTRY WEATHER SCENARIO INCLUDING SNOW...SLEET...AND
FREEZING RAIN IS MODERATE NORTH OF THE OHIO RIVER...AND LOW ALONG
AND JUST SOUTH OF THE RIVER. STAY UP TO DATE OF THE LATEST
FORECASTS AS DETAILS BECOME MORE CLEAR.

ANOTHER WEATHER SYSTEM WILL IMPACT SOUTH-CENTRAL INDIANA AND
CENTRAL KENTUCKY LATE SATURDAY NIGHT OR SUNDAY. COLD AIR WILL BE
IN PLACE AT THE SURFACE EARLY SUNDAY WHICH COULD RESULT IN A
PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN...ESPECIALLY OVER SOUTHERN INDIANA AND
NORTH-CENTRAL AND EAST-CENTRAL KENTUCKY WHERE A COATING OF ICE IS
POSSIBLE. OVER SOUTH-CENTRAL KENTUCKY...ANY FREEZING RAIN EARLY
SUNDAY MORNING WILL CHANGE TO RAIN DURING THE DAY.

THE FOCUS ON WINTRY WEATHER POTENTIAL SHOULD NOT TAKE AWAY FROM
THE FACT THAT A HEAVY RAINFALL EVENT FROM THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY
NIGHT AND AGAIN ON SUNDAY COULD LEAD TO SOME FLOODING CONCERNS.
THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL KENTUCKY WHERE 2 TO
4 INCHES OF RAIN ARE EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THE EVENT. IF YOU LIVE IN
LOW LYING OR FLOOD PRONE AREAS...WATCH WATER LEVELS CLOSELY IF
HEAVY RAINS PERSIST AND TAKE NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS.
