The first major winter storm of the season is expected to hit Southern Indiana and most of Kentucky Sunday, and weather experts said it’s best to be prepared ahead of the cold front.
The upcoming winter storms stems from a strong low pressure system from the Midwest plains. Winter storm watches are also in effect for surrounding states like Missouri and Illinois, according to National Weather Service forecaster Andrea Schoettmer.
By Sunday morning, a wintry mix of snow, ice and rain is expected to hit Southern Indiana and central Kentucky. The precipitation will also include colder temperatures in the 20s and 30s. Further south, areas like Bowling Green should expect temperatures in the 40s, Schoettmer said.
Precipitation is likely to continue Sunday overnight through Monday morning, weather experts said. Temperatures are expected to be in the 20s and 30s. Schoettmer said most of Kentucky will experience the cold front through Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, with highs of 20 degrees.
