The 2 inch snow I was talking about in the previous post for tonight and into tomorrow has triggered a Winter Weather ADVISORY for the area:
...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 4 AM EST /3 AM CST/ TO 7 PM EST /6 PM CST/ TUESDAY...
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN LOUISVILLE HAS ISSUED A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR SNOW...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 4 AM EST /3 AM CST/ TO 7 PM EST /6 PM CST/ TUESDAY.
SNOW IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP IN SOUTHERN INDIANA BEFORE DAWN TUESDAY AND SPREAD SOUTHEAST INTO NORTH CENTRAL AND EAST CENTRAL KENTUCKY EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. THE HEAVIEST SNOW AND HIGHEST ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THAT PART OF SOUTHERN INDIANA AND NORTH CENTRAL KENTUCKY NORTH AND NORTHEAST OF LOUISVILLE AND EXTENDING SOUTHEAST TO FRANKFORT...LEXINGTON AND WINCHESTER. ONE TO THREE INCH ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED IN THIS AREA.
LIGHTER AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED FROM SOUTHWEST INDIANA THROUGH LOUISVILLE SOUTHEAST INTO EAST CENTRAL KENTUCKY...SOUTH OF LEXINGTON. THIS WOULD INCLUDE HARRODSBURG AND RICHMOND. ONE TO TWO INCHES ARE EXPECTED IN THIS AREA.
A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR SNOW MEANS THAT PERIODS OF SNOW WILL CAUSE TRAVEL DIFFICULTIES. BE PREPARED FOR SNOW COVERED ROADS AND LIMITED VISIBILITIES...AND USE CAUTION WHILE DRIVING.
So... The NWS puts a 1-3" estimate here, which seems good to me. I still think we'll get 2 inches in Louisville, but some areas just to our north could see 3.

Not sure. Heaviest snow might be during the morning rush, so we'll see.
do you think the situation is setting up a delay or closure ? i know it is hard to say but give us your prediction!!!

There could be a delay if the heaviest snow comes through after 5am and before 9am. This is a decision that will have to be made early tomorrow by seeing what's on the radar at that point.
Looks like its slowly developing but I don't foresee much in Louisville...maybe a little more then a dusting.
Hi, I'm a senior in broadcast meteorology at MSU, and I happened upon your site. I just wanted to say you're doing a great job. Keep it up. You're doing a lot better than most of our first years a semester in. I'll still be here next year getting my physics degree, so if you have any questions about State or anything, let me know.
