Across central Kentucky up to one quarter of an inch of ice accumulation is expected. Slightly lesser amounts of ice accumulation are expected down along the Cumberland Parkway corridor of south-central Kentucky. 

* WHEN...From 7 PM EST /6 PM CST/ this evening to 6 AM EST /5 AM CST/ Thursday. 

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Plan on ice accumulation on exposed and elevated objects such as trees, power lines, and elevated decks and sidewalks. Some negative travel impacts will be possible across southern Indiana and central Kentucky this evening...mainly on bridges and overpasses. Surface temperatures are expected to warm above freezing by the time the Thursday morning commute commences.
