...Light to Moderate Snow Continues in Far Southeast Kentucky...



Light snow, with some embedded heavier snow bands, will continue 

across southeastern Kentucky through the rest of the evening 

before tapering off toward midnight. Elevations above 2000 feet 

will see the most snow accumulation, with 2 to 3 inches of total 

snow accumulation expected. This will create some snow covered and

slick roads, especially on the highest elevations along Pine and 

Black mountains. For elevations at and below 2000 feet, between 1 

and 2 inches of snow accumulation is possible. While most of this 

will occur on elevated and grassy surfaces, a quick half to one 

inch accumulation could occur on bridges and overpasses during any

heavier snow bands, creating 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 will be impacted include US-23 at Pound Gap, US-119 

outside of Whitesburg, US 421 outside of Harlan, and KY-160 

crossing Black Mountain. Use caution if traveling in these areas 

this evening.
