Sudden freezing possible after rain, snow melt-off In Adair County, the National Weather Service says that temperatures are forecast to drop into the upper teens by sunrise Monday morning. While northwesterly winds will help to dry up most roadways, any residual water on roadways may freeze creating some hazardous driving conditions late tonight into Monday morning's commute.

There is a danger of downed trees blocking roadways and bringing down power lines. Our crews will be carrying chain saws as well as salt and other equipment." Keep Kentucky Moving Safely Safe roadways are a shared responsibility, especially during inclement weather when risks increase. KYTC encourages motorists to prepare for winter and remain safe by following these tips:
