1/26/09: WINTER STORM WATCH!

The whole Kentuckiana area is under a Winter Storm Watch through Wednesday morning for the possibility of a major winter storm coming thru the area that could leave some areas with the slight chance of a foot of snow....

Here is the map of the winter storm watch:

This will be upgraded later this morning to a WINTER STORM WARNING.

Snow totals for now appear to be significant:

Southern Indiana: 6-9" With Locally Heavier Amounts ( Potential To Be All Snow)

North Central Kentucky: 4-7" With Upto 1/4" Ice Accumulations

Central Kentucky: 3-6" W/ 1/4 to 1/3" Ice Accumulations

South Central Kentucky: 1-2" with Upto 1/2" Ice Accumulations

Areas that receive more ice then snow could be crippling to power outages, trees down, power lines down, etc.

I will be blogging thru out the day and hope that you join me for updates. Feel free to comment on my blog and I will answer every comment.

School Situation: Expect Jefferson County schools to be dismissed most likely Tuesday and possibly Wednesday. Rural Districts expect possibly out til Thursday or even longer depending on Ice Accummulations.

I will update this blog when new runs come thru from HPC, GFS and NAM... This still needs to be fine tweaked!
