Tips for driving in snow and ice.
A winter storm moving has the potential to bring significant snowfall this weekend.
The National Weather Service issued a winter storm watch Thursday morning. The watch will be in effect Friday morning through Saturday morning.
Total snow accumulations of 2 to 4 inches and locally higher amounts are possible. In addition, ice accumulations of up to one-tenth of an inch are possible.
How much snow we see depends on the track a low-pressure system takes as it moves northeast from the Tennessee Valley to the eastern Great Lakes.
Even a slight change in track will make a big difference in which areas get snow and ice and how much.
The storm watch covers portions of east, central and Southeast Indiana, northeast and Northern Kentucky and central, Southwest and west central Ohio.

Showers are likely, mainly between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
