The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is gearing up for a round of winter weather across western Kentucky starting today. Highway crew supervisors will be monitoring weather and road conditions as a winter storm approaches.
Due to the expected 1/2 inch of rain expected before temperatures drop and change the precipitation to freezing rain, crews will be unable to pre-treat highways and bridges. The precipitation is expected to transition to a wintry mix of freezing rain, sleet and snow across the region starting around mid-morning Monday with one-quarter inch to 1 inch of ice accumulation by Tuesday morning.
