As Fayette County prepares for more snow and ice Sunday afternoon and into Monday, some parts of the state are forecast to see nearly a foot of snow.
The latest forecast from the National Weather Service office in Louisville has much of Kentucky under a winter weather warning continuing through 7 p.m. Monday , including Lexington. Most counties in the southern reaches of the state are under a winter weather advisory.
The storm system began Sunday morning and is expected to bring dangerous conditions to Kentucky, with snowfall totals in some parts of the state forecast as high as 10 inches and ice accumulation up to three-quarters of an inch.
In Lexington, the weather service predicts anywhere from 6 to 8 inches of snowfall for this round of the winter storm. The NWS confirmed Sunday afternoon the snowfall did break the previous daily snowfall record for Jan. 5 in Lexington, which was 2.8 inches in 1979.
Could Winter Storm Blair surpass some of Lexington’s record snowfalls for one day? Here’s a look back at the data.
