Kentucky Transportation Cabinet crews in District 1 are on alert for a clipper system moving out of Missouri and Illinois into Western Kentucky over the next 4 to 6 hours. Radar indicates some strong bands of snow squalls embedded in the fast moving system. We anticipate snow flurries picking up in intensity around 3:30 p.m. across the region and lasting about 3 to 4 hours. Highway crews in Kentucky's 12 westernmost counties will remain on duty to be prepared to respond quicky to areas of heavy snowfall. Salt residue from the snow response on Tuesday should provide the equilivent of pre-treating for this event. Motorists are asked to be alert for heavy snow squalls developing within the main body of light snow and flurries. Within the heaviest bands of snow road surfaces can become snow covered rather quickly. Please slow down and adjust your driving speed to meet localized conditions through the evening. Motorists traveling north and west into Missouri and Illinois should be aware of the potential for snow accumulating in those neighboring states.
