Rain moving across the region brings the potential for hazardous driving conditions for the next few days.
It has been weeks since we have had substantial rainfall across most of Western Kentucky. During extended dry periods a film of oil can develop on road surfaces. When rain first starts to fall this film can create hazardous driving conditions.
Additionally, there is a potential for areas of localized heavy downpours which will create additional safety hazards for motorists.
Please remember to slow down adjust your driving habits to meet localized weather conditions.
