On the heels of Winter Storm Blair and a week of subfreezing temperatures, more snow looks to be on its way to the area.
The National Weather Service in Louisville says another winter system looks to be arriving Friday into Friday night with accumulating snow likely in the forecast. This system is expected to sweep further south than what was seen this past weekend.
Hardin, Meade, Breckinridge, Nelson, Bullitt, and LaRue counties could see 3 to 4 inches of snow between Thursday morning and Saturday night. Parts of Grayson and Hart counties could see 4 to 6 inches of snow during that time frame.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet says ice is not part of the forecast at this time, but with the previous weekend’s snow and ice still melting and temperatures remaining as cold as they are, the snow this weekend is likely to create hazardous driving conditions such as slick roads and bridges. Drivers are reminded to avoid traveling in the winter weather if possible, but if you must make sure you leave prepared. Take an emergency kit, give extra time for travel and extra distance for braking, slow down, and give extra space for highway crews and emergency responders.
KYTC crews will be plowing and treating roads as necessary and as possible. The KYTC says more than 2,300 highway crew workers have plowed approximately 28,000 miles of roadway and applied nearly 150,000 tons of salt since Sunday’s weather.
