Snow Storm to Hit Kentucky After Warmer Temperatures

Kentuckians are dealing with flooded roadways and mudslides as they brace for another winter storm that will blanket the state with snow.

Weather forecasters say the heavy rain will turn to snow, sleet or freezing rain by Wednesday afternoon. Media reported that some schools have canceled classes or will dismiss early due to the forecast.

The National Weather Service says colder air will bring on the winter storm, dumping up to 12 inches of snow in areas around Louisville down to Elizabethtown and east to Frankfort and Lexington.

Southern areas like Campbellsville and Bowling Green are expected to get five to 10 inches beginning on Wednesday. The snow is expected fall into Thursday.

The weather service says the storm will make travel difficult and could knock out electric power in some areas.
