The National Weather Service in Louisville has issued a Winter Storm Warning for southern Indiana and central Kentucky, in effect from 1 a.m. Saturday through 7 a.m. Monday.

Confidence in a winter storm is high, with models projecting one inch per hour snowfall rates. Parts of Breckinridge, Grayson, Hardin, Hart, Meade, LaRue, and Nelson counties are projected to see 8 to 12 inches, and additional portions of Bullitt, Hardin, Meade, and Nelson counties could see 12 to 15 inches.
