...WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN LOUISVILLE HAS ISSUED A WINTER STORM WATCH...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING...FOR ALL OF CENTRAL KENTUCKY...INCLUDING THE LOUISVILLE... FRANKFORT... LEXINGTON... AND BOWLING GREEN AREAS.

A MIXTURE OF RAIN AND SNOW IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP ACROSS WESTERN AND SOUTHERN PARTS OF KENTUCKY FRIDAY AFTERNOON...WITH MORE WIDESPREAD SNOW DEVELOPING FRIDAY EVENING AND OVERNIGHT ACROSS THE ENTIRE WATCH AREA. SNOW SHOWERS ARE FORECAST TO CONTINUE INTO SATURDAY AS MUCH COLDER AIR RUSHES INTO THE REGION. SNOW SHOULD DECREASE IN COVERAGE SOMETIME SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

AT THIS TIME...WE ARE ANTICIPATING POTENTIAL TOTAL AMOUNTS FROM 3 TO 5 INCHES ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL KENTUCKY...ROUGHLY SOUTH OF A MORGANTOWN...TO LEBANON...TO RICHMOND LINE. THERE IS A CHANCE THAT A RAIN/SNOW MIXTURE MAY CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING HOURS IN SOUTHERN KENTUCKY...WHICH WOULD HAVE THE EFFECT OF LESSENING SNOWFALL AMOUNTS. FURTHER NORTH INTO THE LOUISVILLE AND LEXINGTON AREAS...TOTAL SNOWFALL FORECASTS ARE IN THE 2 TO 4 INCH RANGE.

THIS WINTER WEATHER EVENT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE WIDESPREAD TRAVEL PROBLEMS NOT ONLY IN CENTRAL KENTUCKY...BUT SURROUNDING AREAS AS WELL...PARTICULARLY TO THE SOUTH AND EAST. PEOPLE WITH TRAVEL PLANS FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY SHOULD ANTICIPATE DELAYS AND POSSIBLE CANCELLATIONS. PLAN ON ALLOWING PLENTY OF EXTRA TIME TO REACH YOUR DESTINATION.

This is going to stop a lot of Belegarth fighters unfortunately.. First a Hurricane and now a Blizzard!!!! I believe that someone or something is trying to keep our sports from crossing over!!! We will try again this year to get a large group of Bel fighters to show up..

Thanks for the hospitality but BAD WEATHER SUCKS!!!

[Kyrax]

Darn, that's too bad. I hope the folks who attend get there and back again safely. Better luck next year guys.

[Kenneth]

Yeah, I'm sorry guys. I've been checking the weather every day hoping it would get better, but the news just keeps getting worse. I really was planning on attending, but I'd rather not drive to my own frozen death. Hope to catch you guys around at another time!
