FLOYD COUNTY, Ky. (WMDJ) – A Winter Storm Warning is now in effect through Tuesday morning, bringing a heavy dose of mixed precipitation to eastern Kentucky.

Forecasters have increased the total snow accumulation predictions to between 3 and 5 inches and ice accumulations between one tenth and one half of an inch.

Power outages and tree damage are likely due to the ice. Travel could be nearly impossible. The hazardous conditions could impact the Monday morning and evening commutes.

Snow will develop this morning, and then mix with or change to freezing rain in the afternoon and evening. A period of plain rain is also expected for many locations tonight. The remaining precipitation will then change back to snow on Monday. The heaviest precipitation is expected this afternoon into tonight. Although total snowfall amounts of 3 to 5 inches are forecast, the largest amount on the ground at any given time may be less due to freezing rain and rain occurring in the middle of the winter storm, atop the initial snowfall.
