MikJournal Thoughts About the Changeable Weather

We have a balmy kind of day out there, at least compared to what we have been enduring. Light amounts of precipitation occurred overnight into the first part of the day here in Louisville. At the airport last night, I did not see any sleet pellets, just plain light rain and drizzle. I'm sure others saw some sleet, but as expected, no issues with that.

Now, let's turn our attention to the rest of the day and tonight. Did you know a severe weather threat exists for part of the region? And the same areas may see some frozen precipitation several hours later. Shew! Crazy, I tell ya.

A Winter Weather Advisory is in place for much of western and central Kentucky overnight. Mainly for impact as moisture on area roadways will be hard pressed to dry out, since we will be having light freezing rain, freezing drizzle, and occasional sleet mixed with snow going on. No way around it there is going to be slick spots on area roadways. However, salt crews may be able to alleviate much despite the very light frozen precipitation falling. But, watch out for your untreated porches and sidewalks.

More updates later if necessary. Stay safe everyone.
