Updated Thursday evening, February 14......
The Weather Prediction Center has put Louisville in a SLIGHT RISK for at least 4 inches of snow for Friday. Before you get too excited about that, we have been in this risk several times this winter from the WPC and the biggest snow so far has been 2.9 inches.
So here are the latest maps.....
There is a Winter Weather ADVISORY for the entire WLKY viewing area except for the line of counties from Lawrence to Jennings in Indiana.
The rest of the area is expecting an inch or two for the most part.
NWS Louisville says.....keying on 1 to 2 inch accumulations along and north of the WK and BG parkways and a minor ice accumulation south.
