Snow Alert: Prepare for a Snowy Night

As winter approaches, a significant weather alert has been issued for Louisville, Kentucky. Residents should prepare for a snowy night ahead, with meteorologists predicting a transition from rain and sleet to snow.

Weather Forecast: Snow Alert Issued

According to local meteorologist Ryan Hoke, the precipitation will fully change to snow overnight. The untreated roads are expected to become slick, particularly after midnight.

Snow Accumulation Predictions

  • Expected snowfall of 2-4 inches across most areas.
  • Locations south of the Kentucky Parkways will see reduced totals of less than an inch.

Snow is anticipated to exit the area by sunrise, but travel issues may persist due to lingering snow on the roads.

Conditions Following the Snow

Expect cloudy and cold conditions on Tuesday, with temperatures likely remaining below freezing. As night falls, temperatures may drop into the teens and low twenties. This drop in temperature can lead to the formation of black ice on wet and untreated roads, increasing travel hazards into Wednesday morning.

Long-Term Weather Outlook

Wednesday is predicted to be cold, with a mix of sun and clouds, and daytime highs in the 30s. An Arctic front will make its presence felt late Wednesday night, potentially bringing another round of light snow and flurries.

Residents should prepare for additional light snow opportunities by the upcoming weekend, signaling a chilly start to December.
