2/10 - 5:30pm - WINTER STORM WATCH

That's it! The NWS just issued a WINTER STORM WATCH for the entire Kentuckiana region! They are forecasting around 4 inches of snow tomorrow night after a quarter inch of ice accumulates. Here's the latest 4 inch risk and ice charts from the HPC:



Notice how far south the 4 inch risk area moved, they're putting us in a MODERATE RISK for 4 inches of snow! The ice chart is also impressive, another MODERATE RISK of .25" of ice or more. This all amounts to a nasty winter storm tomorrow night, one that I didn't even know was going to happen this morning. This will catch a lot of people by surprise due to the late and huge changes in the forecast. Inevitably I think this may be our best snow so far this season. Also, beware of the risk of power outages tomorrow night when the ice falls. With so much ice accumulation, we're sure to have power issues here. I think it would be wise to make sure your flashlights work and that you have gas for generators handy. This is simply unbelievable.
