Representatives from the Kentucky Division of Emergency Management (KYEM), and other state and local officials participated in conference calls with National Weather Service offices in Paducah and Louisville today, discussing the impending winter weather system.
Weather predictions range from the possibility of up to one half inch of ice in the far western part of the state, and one inch along the Kentucky Tennessee border, up to five to 10 inches of snow and ice in the Bluegrass and northern portions of the state. The winter weather is expected to enter Kentucky after dark and continue through Tuesday and much of Wednesday morning before tapering off.
"This is a very dangerous storm," said Buddy Rogers, public information officer for KYEM. "According to reports from the National Weather Service, it has the potential to be a deadly storm. The best advice I can give you, is stay home with your family, don't travel and be aware - be prepared."
Road conditions throughout the state can be found on the Kentucky Department of Transportation's Web site at www.511.ky.gov, or by calling 511 in Kentucky or 1-866-737-3767 for out-of-state callers.
