Sat Jan 04 11:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Major Winter Storm to Slam WLKY Region This Weekend
**LOUISVILLE, KY [Date]** – A major winter storm is expected to hit the WLKY viewing area this weekend, bringing a potent mix of snow, sleet, and potentially significant ice accumulation. A winter storm watch is in effect from early Sunday morning through Monday morning.
Meteorologist Matt Milosevich described the storm as a “big time winter storm,” warning of potentially serious impacts. The storm is expected to bring 5 inches of snow to the Louisville area, with some southern Indiana communities potentially seeing up to 10 inches. The greatest concern, however, is the potential for significant ice accumulation, particularly near and south of the I-64 corridor, with a predicted ¼ to ¾ inch of ice. This could lead to widespread power outages and dangerous travel conditions.
The storm is expected to begin impacting Louisville mid-to-late Sunday morning. Snow is predicted between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Sunday, transitioning to sleet and freezing rain from 3 p.m. Sunday to 3 a.m. Monday. Snow is expected to return Monday morning, lasting until around 3 p.m. before the storm finally moves out Monday evening. There may be a brief lull in precipitation early Monday morning.
Temperatures will remain well below freezing in the days following the storm, potentially dipping into the single digits, meaning the impacts of the storm will likely persist. Residents are urged to prepare for difficult travel conditions and potential power outages. WLKY will continue to provide updates as the forecast develops.
