Jackson, Kentucky – A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect across four eastern Kentucky counties until 11 a.m. EST Monday, with light ice and minor snow potentially affecting the morning commute.
According to the National Weather Service in Jackson, mixed precipitation is expected in Bath, Elliott, Fleming and Rowan counties. Forecasters anticipate a light glaze of ice on elevated surfaces, along with minor snow and sleet accumulations of less than one inch.
The advisory includes the cities of Owingsville, Sandy Hook, Morehead and Flemingsburg.
Officials warn that untreated bridges, overpasses and other elevated surfaces could become slick through late morning. Slippery road conditions may impact the Monday morning commute and could linger into midday before temperatures rise.
Forecasters say temperatures are expected to climb well above freezing by late Monday afternoon and remain relatively warmer overnight into Tuesday. That warming trend should allow any ice or snow accumulations to melt off.
Drivers are urged to slow down and use caution while traveling. The latest Kentucky road conditions are available at goky.ky.gov.
While accumulations are expected to remain light, even thin layers of ice can create hazardous travel conditions, particularly for early commuters, school traffic and delivery drivers navigating untreated secondary roads.
The advisory expires at 11 a.m. EST unless extended.
