March winter storm in the offing?

KENTUCKY PRESS NEWS SERVICE
The calendar will say March beginning on Saturday but the weather will be anything but spring-like for the next several days.

Wind chills will drop as low as zero degrees to 5 below zero tonight, according to the National Weather Service. And that trend will continue for a few days.

Light snow is expected in much of Kentucky Friday night and Saturday morning with accumulations expected to be an inch or less, the weather service said.

But a winter storm appears likely to hit the Ohio Valley from early Sunday morning through Monday afternoon. The weather service said the situation is a little difficult to pin down at present but it will know more in the coming days.

But there's a likelihood that a mix of snow and ice will hit much of Kentucky with significant accumulations of a wintry mix possible.
