Hi, I’m WLKY meteorologist Suzanne Horgan. We are watching for *** winter storm on Sunday into Monday. We do have for the entire WLKY viewing area *** winter storm warning for that time period. So it does look like kind of *** messy mix of precipitation types that we’re going to be dealing with as we head throughout the day on Sunday. And as we make our way into Monday, it looks like that transition will really change over to just snow, especially later into the day. So here’s what we’re talking about. The timing developing on Sunday morning into Monday likely we will be dealing with *** mixture of precipitation types. We could see some areas of heavy snow and ice, and there will likely be *** pretty sharp cut off when we’re talking about some of those healthier snowfall totals. It looks like we’ll see *** band of heavier snow set up shop, but there will be *** sharp cut off to that. As far as what we’re talking about with that snowfall, we’re looking at *** mixture of Snow and sleet and it does look like for some of our northern communities right along and north of Interstate 64, that’s where we would see the greater snowfall totals. We’re looking at maybe 2 to 6 inches, perhaps some higher snowfall totals. Now the most recent data for your Saturday has lifted that heavier band of snow just *** little bit farther north and then farther down to the south, especially for our far southern communities. There could be locations that really don’t see much. Snow. So we’re going to call for up to 3 inches of snowfall there. Now timing this all out, obviously we’re looking at *** quiet day for today. Today is *** good day to prepare for the potential winter weather coming our way as we head throughout the day on Sunday. So you’ll notice Sunday morning likely starting as *** mix of precipitation changing over to snow. Then it looks like *** pretty decent period of sleet. Now you’ll notice farther down to the south you’re just dealing with. At times we’ll continue to watch for that mixed bag of precipitation types to continue to overspread the region as we head into your Sunday night. Likely on Monday during the morning hours we could see some areas of rain and then *** transition over to snow. So for today, quiet weather, obviously we’ve got severe alert days in place for Sunday and Monday for that winter storm. Then bitterly cold conditions come our way as we head into the rest of the week.
