Weather Aware: Winter is Not Over
Remember when we enjoyed sunshine and temperatures in the 50s? That was just yesterday. We are in for quite a shock with cold temperatures and wintery precipitation moving in this afternoon.
Latest from The National Weather Service Paducah:
Precipitation will begin in the form of rain for many locations today. As colder air works southward across the region, a wintry mix of sleet and snow is expected through the afternoon and into the early evening before ending. The potential exists for some slushy accumulations up to around 2 inches with locally higher amounts possible. Right now the highest amounts appear most likely along and north of the I-64 corridor in southern Illinois and southwest Indiana. However, this may fluctuate some still. Warm ground temperatures and time of day may largely limit any accumulations to grassy and elevated surfaces. However, if brief heavy rates are realized then a slushy accumulation may occur on a few roads and lead to slippery travel.
