KYTC: Crews unable to pre-treat roads due to rain

(KFVS) - The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet says crews will be unable to pre-treat area highways because of rain that is expected to come before the snow Saturday night into Sunday morning.

According to KYTC, rain prior to a snow and ice event washes away salt deposited on road surfaces, making pre-treating ineffective.

They say snow and ice team members will continue to monitor the development of winter weather through the day Saturday. Highway crews will be on-call to respond should the winter precipitation become more organized and accumulate.

Drivers are reminded to closely monitor the weather forecast via area media outlets over the weekend and be aware of localized driving conditions which can change mile by mile as winter weather develops. KYTC says drivers should be aware of the potential for heavier snow accumulations to the east and south.
