Some dryslotting winter event still on
around Murray to Hopkinsville some dryslotting has occurred. With temps in low 20's and more precip in Arkansas the event is still on and warnings. Def. not really try to panic for west ky just wait and see because even if in worse case scenario we still are having a good event for before Christmas.
School will probably be closed for all of west ky if you haven't closed already.

update time
My update. Went outside briefly. There is sleet mixed with freezing rain. What appears to be on the ground about 1/10th ice give or take a little bit covering the entire ground the road. The van doors are frozen shut. and it keeps coming down.
Some areas in West KY are reporting 1/10 of ice and up to 1/4 inch of sleet.
Some areas in West KY are reporting 1/10 of ice and up to 1/4 inch of sleet.
winter storm time
Heavy sleet band from Hickman KY to Greenville KY. Quick sleet accumulations are expected. With temps in low to mid 20's even main roads will be hard to travel on and you dont wanna know how bad the back roads are.
winter time is here
Snow and sleet is moving across most of West KY. Evansville Tri State should see snow. Rest of West KY mix of snow and sleet. Mostly sleet for a Murray to Elkton line south.
Now more of a sleet/snow event.
Kinda what I expected. More of a sleet event for most all of west ky with snow mixed.
I still think that some light freezing rain may mix south of a South Fulton TN to Greenville KY line. 1 to 3 inches of sleet and snow is expected maybe locally more in some bands.

Update Time Winter Time
With ground temperatures in the low to mid 20's across West KY temps will not matter with this one. Once we get into Tuesday they will more though.
For tonight two bands in nw ky have set up one from Providence to Owensboro another from Uniontown to Henderson. This could bring down good sleet amounts in the heavier bands. Then we have a bunch of bands of precip in SE MO and NE Ark moving into all of West KY eventually. More precip looks to form outside those bands.

Then we have a bunch of bands of precip in SE MO and NE Ark moving into all of West KY eventually. More precip looks to form outside those bands.
Update Winter Style
A line of precip from Paduach to Calhoun will continue for several hours. This could result in minor sleet accumulation. Heavier precip is in Arkansas and Missouri and more is expected to form as we get closer into the night.
A winter storm is in effect from 6pm to 6am. After 6pm some heavy precipitation could drop south of the west ky parkway 0.2-0.5 inches of glaze, 1 to 2 inches of sleet with some snow mixed in. This could actually maybe more of a sleet event. In NW West KY after the ice it looks to be an sleet/snow mix with 0.1-0.3 inches of ice and 2 to 3 inches of snow/sleet. Tuesday as the cold front moves a little further north a little more freezing rain could mix back in.

School early closings

Webster county was closed for the day.
Webster county was closed for the day.
Reports of light icing in Crofton and Madisonville areas. This round should move out of west ky by noon to 12:30 than a more intense round back in Missouri and Arkansas and even down to Oklahoma should move in and cause sig. freezing rain/sleet accumulations 1/4 to 1/2 inch of glaze south of west ky parkway and sig. snow/sleet accumulations with around 2/10 inch of ice with snow and sleet accumulations of 2 to 3 inches north of west ky parkway.
Say hello to my little winter storm.
Image from Weather Underground.
Special thanks to Weather Underground for this radar image which shows the rain mixing with frz rain and sleet.
Final Call map
Click to enlarge BLUE ZONE- This area I will say around 1/4 inch ice. Along with 2-3 inches of snow and sleet. It will be cold enough with system moving southward for more snow and sleet to form in tonight's and tomorrow mornings system.
ORANGE ZONE- This area I will say 1/4 to 1/2 inch of ice. Warmer temps could allow for more freezing rain today and tonight. Eventually change to over to sleet and snow can't be ruled out. I will say upwards from 1 to maybe 1.5 inches of sleet acclimation. More of a power outage area to because of more ice.
Cold Flash
Got a 59 in Hopkinsville and 34 in Henderson how is that for a temp. difference. Front should clear very soon
Winter WX Time
A very dangerous and possibly devastating storm is expected in the next 8 to 36 hours. First of all West KY is under an advisory till 6pm for light icing up to an tenth of an inch behind the arctic cold front. This should hit us after noon the frz rain. After 5 or 6 a lull in the action occurs as the entire area falls below freezing and a storm with a lot of moisture moves in. AS warm air tries to ride over shallow cold air. This is a perfect setup for freezing rain and sleet. From tonight. Acclamations of 1/4 to 1/2 inch of ice and 1 to 2 inches of sleet are expected. Snow may mix in towards far nw ky around Uniontown to Owensboro
Sunday, December 14, 2008
Weather Update
This is a winter wx update about the winter storm.
- Right now it appears that the arctic cold front will move into the area into the morning hours. The front should clear all of west ky by 11:30am. Start the move into the area about 4 or 5 am. The high temp will be reached before 11am. Once the front passes you will know as the temp could drop 20 to 30 degrees in 2 to 4 hours. With a bunch of gulf moisture and shallow arctic air a winter wx event is defiantly likely with sig. ice accumulations. Another storm Monday Night/Tuesday night may add to the ice acculmation and may mix with some sleet and even snow.
Stay safe tommrow. There is possibity of tress down, very dangerous travel, and even power outages.
Schools will probably be closed or released early across all of west ky.
