LOUISVILLE, Ky (WHAS11) — Get ready Kentuckiana!

A band of light to moderate snow will move through southern Indiana and central Kentucky this afternoon and evening. Light snow accumulations of a 1/2" to an inch are possible with this snow, mainly on elevated surfaces. Slick spots could develop on roads, especially on untreated bridges and overpasses. This snow will move through during rush hour across the Louisville and Lexington metro areas.

This all has to do with the back side of the system that brought us all the ice last night. Drier air will push into the area and could turn everything over to freezing drizzle briefly before it all ends.

WINTER ALERTS:

Because there is the potential for 1" of snow, a little bit of ice, and that the snow will be moving through some of the bigger metro areas (Louisville, Lexington) during rush hour, the National Weather Service decided to issue a Winter Weather Advisory for portions of central Kentucky and southern Indiana.
