NOWCAST Snow Event Feb 10-11 2012

6:30pm UPDATE
Impressive snow shield moving back in for round 2...Temperatures are expected to fall steadily throughout early evening before dropping off rapidly after midnight. Depending on moisture placement, travel conditions will deteriorate. Since temperatures are expected to stay above freezing for a while, I'm not going to increase my expected totals for Louisville. Still going with less than an inch. But some areas in the area could get over an inch because there will be convective bands similar to what we saw earlier this winter.
-----------------

3:30pm UPDATE
The snow has been a non-event here (in Louisville) as expected. Also, radar returns are showing a diminishing trend just north of us. This may still fill in as the cold front approaches our region. If this should occur, roadways may be subjected to freezing, especially after dark. But, for right now, temperature here in Valley Station is at 37 with overcast conditions.

Most of the precipitation shield lies across areas south of Louisville and east as well. Again, temperatures are helping limit any accumulations so far.
-----------------------------------------------------

I live in Valley Station, just south and southwest of Louisville International.
At 12:15pm, light snow has begun to fall...My temperature is 36; therefore, not expecting any problems with the batch that is currently moving through.
The latest short range models still indicate greatest concentration of accumulation (1-2") well east of Louisville through tomorrow morning.
In my location, may see up to 0.7" or so. I will take measurements as snow begins to stick on my snowboard.
