Kentucky – A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect early Friday for parts of central Kentucky, with snowfall creating slippery road conditions during the morning commute.
According to the National Weather Service in Jackson, additional snow accumulations of up to two inches are expected in Bath and Montgomery counties. The warning is scheduled to expire at 10 a.m. EST this morning, with snow continuing during the early commute hours.
Cities included in the warning area are Mount Sterling, Camargo, Jeffersonville, and Owingsville, where untreated roads may quickly become slick as snow continues to fall.
Forecasters warn that even lighter snowfall amounts can create hazardous driving conditions, particularly on bridges, overpasses, and secondary roads. The timing of the storm may impact school travel, commuters, and early-morning deliveries across the region.
Officials urge drivers to slow down, allow extra travel time, and consider delaying trips until conditions improve later this morning. Reduced traction and patchy visibility may increase the risk of crashes during peak travel periods.
Motorists who must travel are advised to carry basic emergency supplies, including a flashlight, food, and water, in case of delays or roadside issues. The latest Kentucky road conditions are available through the state’s transportation system at goky.ky.gov.
Residents should continue monitoring official weather updates as conditions evolve through mid-morning, especially in areas where road treatment may lag behind snowfall.
