Quick update as precip is developing out west and on the way... Guys... this is going to be an ice storm !!. A little snow mixing in with the sleet at the onset with this one... Mid level warming will take over and provide for a big ice storm across the local area.
2 waves of prcip still expected... 1st wave develops late evening or around midnight.
Louisville: sleet and snow to start... to all sleet by late night into the morning commute. Sleet continues tomorrow morning.... changing to light freezing rain as 1st wave diminishes during the afternoon. Next wave of precip explodes over region tomorrow night... Freezing rain in Louisville... Freezing rain back to sleet then snow by daybreak Wednesday. Snow ends by midday Wednesday.
Accumulations: 3 to 5 inches of snow and sleet including what we get late tonight / early tomorrow and then again Wednesday morning. Whatever snow does fall in Louisville will be mashed down and coated by 1/2 to 1 inch of icing Tuesday night with power outages possible.

Jay, why are these systems so hard to predict as opposed to our typical spring thunderstorms?
Jay-thanks for everything...I've been on every blog tonight...you've had it pretty close and not 'down-pat' ...
It's been extremely heavy sleet/FR here in Bardstown since about 12:20am...I am very worried about this, and why isn't theNWS bringing forth the ICESTORM WARNINGS already??!- What gives??! It sounds like the hailstorm of spring 02 here...Normally tornadoes toss me into a panic attack, but this stuff here...ohh,boy..gonna be a long sleepless night for me...no alt.heat sources, a baby, plenty of pets, and a hubby that thinks it's not even worth losing sleep over,apparantly...and did Imention the 40 yr old+ maple tree on it's last limb inour front yard drooping over the house??! Yea...
Good call,Jay. Take care of you and yours and we will do the same! Thanks! Stay warm & safe.

Hey Jay! Just wondering...what do you think about the possibility of "thunder snow" this evening/coming morning? My son saw lightning and I see that you mentioned it in your evening forecast. Why not with the variety of weather - right? Thanks!
Just curious, Jay. Why, when I look at your forecast, does a day tag on to the end, and it's always reading 65 degrees? It makes no sense. I mean, who wouldn't enjoy 65? But, it's not a forecast for that day. It's an automatic attachment to your true forecast. Can you get rid of it? Thank you, if you look into the matter!
Sincerely, Rick W.
