The Louisville area is now under a Winter Storm Warning until Wednesday morning as a new storm system moves through the region, bringing significant Snowfall of up to 4 inches in some areas.
Heavy Snowfall Expected in Louisville
Meteorologists predict that much of Louisville could receive 2-4 inches of snow between Monday evening and Tuesday afternoon. According to John Gordon, meteorologist-in-charge for NWS Louisville, the heaviest snowfall is expected to hit between 7 a.m. and 1 p.m. Tuesday.
Affected Areas and Higher Snowfall Totals
The Winter Storm Warning also applies to Elizabethtown, Frankfort, and Lexington. Lexington could experience the highest snowfall totals in the state, with up to 6 inches or more expected on Tuesday.
“Someone will get 3-6 inches of snow,” Gordon stated. “The exact location is still uncertain.”
Flood Watch for Southern Kentucky
While northern and central Kentucky will experience heavy snowfall, southern Kentucky is under a flood watch through Tuesday night. Instead of snow, the region is likely to see heavy rain, leading to minor-to-moderate flooding, according to the National Weather Service.
