Due to updates in the forecast, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 1 Snow and Ice Team is altering plans to pre-treat area highways on Sunday.
The forecast for Sunday now includes a greater opportunity for rain changing over to winter precipitation through the day. That will prohibit pre-treating by KYTC crews.
Highway crews in Kentucky's 12 westernmost counties are now on alert to respond as the winter precipitation develops in the early morning hours of Sunday and through the day.
Supervisors will be monitoring highway conditions and call in crews as required.
The shift in the forecast would not have allowed time to pre-treat. This means crews will now be responding as the winter precipitation develops.
Motorists are urged to continually monitor the forecast and maintain awareness of changing road surface conditions as the precipitation shifts from rain to winter mix and snow.
