Our winter storm moves in Sunday and we are under a Winter Storm Warning through Monday night. Travel will be treacherous this weekend and even near-impossible at times.
We’ll stay mainly cloudy and quiet through much of the morning. Temperatures start off in the 20s for most and we’ll stay in the 20s through the day.
Snow will arrive from the southwest later Sunday morning and early afternoon. Road temperatures are below freezing so this will stick, especially on untreated surfaces. Snow will overspread the area by dinnertime and heavy snow is likely this evening.

Snowfall rates of one to two inches per hour are possible and this is when we expect roads to really go downhill. Visibilities will also be greatly reduced due to the heavy snow.
Some warmer air higher in the atmosphere will nudge in here from the south late Sunday. This will provide several areas with sleet and freezing rain at times. We’re most concerned with areas near Owenton, east to portions of Mason and Robertson counties. This is where the freezing rain potential is highest and where we could see some power outages.
We switch back to snow Monday morning, with additional accumulation likely throughout the day.
Totals as of now will be highest south of I-70. 5″ to 8″ of snow looks possible in portions of Butler, Warren, and Clinton counties — as well as Fayette, Franklin, and Union counties in SE IN. Localized higher amounts will be possible with a heavier band of snow that will set up.
South of the Ohio River, 2-4″ of snow and sleet look possible. Up to 0.25″ of ice is possible in our southernmost communities. All totals are Sunday and Monday combined.
WLWT will continue to update this story with the latest forecast details.
