...Light Snow Through This Evening...



Light snow, with some passing embedded heavier snow bands at 

times, will continue across southeastern Kentucky through this 

evening. Elevations above 2500 feet will see the most snow 

accumulation, with 1 to 2 inches of total snow accumulation

expected. This will create some slick roads, especially on the

highest elevations along Pine and Black mountains. For elevations

at and below 2500 feet, up to a slushy inch of snow accumulation

is possible. While most of this will occur on elevated and grassy

surfaces, a quick half an inch accumulation could occur on 

bridges and overpasses during any heavier snow bands, creating 

some slick spots. Additionally, visibilities will be reduced to 

less than a half mile in the more moderate snow bands. Some of the

more traveled roads that could be impacted include US-23 at Pound

Gap, US-119 outside of Whitesburg, US 421 outside of Harlan, and 

KY-160 crossing Black Mountain.
