Winter Weather Advisory
Statement as of 2:43 PM CST on February 9, 2012/

... Winter Weather Advisory in effect from 6 PM EST /5 PM CST/
Friday to noon EST /11 am CST/ Saturday...

The National Weather Service in Louisville has issued a Winter
Weather Advisory for accumulating snow and hazardous driving
conditions... which is in effect from 6 PM EST /5 PM CST/ Friday
to noon EST /11 am CST/ Saturday.

* Timing: a mix of rain and snow will overspread the advisory area
during the day on Friday. By Friday evening... colder air will
push into the region resulting in the rain and snow changing
over to snow. The snow is expected to continue Friday night and
into Saturday morning.

* Main impact: as surface temperatures fall below freezing Friday
evening... snowfall is expected to accumulate across the region.
Snowfall amounts of around an inch will be possible across
south-central Kentucky. Snowfall amounts generally north of the
western Kentucky and Bluegrass parkways will likely average 1 to
2 inches.

* Other impacts: the combination of the anticipated snowfall along
with temperatures falling into the 20s Friday night will lead to
hazardous driving conditions across the area. If you have travel
plans for Friday night... allow yourself plenty of time to reach
your destination.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Winter Weather Advisory for snow means that periods of snow
will cause primarily travel difficulties. Be prepared for snow
covered roads and limited visibilities... and use caution while
driving.

Stay tuned to NOAA all hazards weather radio and your local media
for the latest updates on this winter weather situation.
