...ACCUMULATING SNOW EXPECTED TONIGHT ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA...
AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL INTERACT WITH A STATIONARY FRONT
SOUTH OF THE REGION TO BRING WINTRY PRECIPITATION TO THE REGION
FROM LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY MORNING. THE PRECIPITATION
SHOULD REACH LOCATIONS NEAR THE TENNESSEE BORDER BY LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND THEN GRADUALLY SPREAD NORTH AND EAST ACROSS THE
REMAINDER OF THE REGION DURING THE EVENING HOURS.
THE PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN AS RAIN...BUT GRADUALLY CHANGE
OVER TO A WET SNOW IN THE EVENING AS THE ATMOSPHERE COOLS. SOME
WARMER VALLEY LOCATIONS NEAR THE TENNESSEE BORDER COULD SEE THE
PRECIPITATION REMAIN AS...OR CHANGE BACK TO...ALL RAIN TONIGHT. TO
THE NORTH OF THESE AREAS...THOUGH...THE RAIN IS EXPECTED TO MIX WITH
AND CHANGE TO ALL SNOW DURING THE NIGHT.
DUE TO WARM GROUND TEMPERATURES...SNOW ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD OCCUR
MAINLY ON RIDGETOPS AND GRASSY SURFACES. BY DAWN ON FRIDAY...
ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM A JUST A DUSTING IN MOST OF 
THE VALLEY LOCATIONS TO AS MUCH AS AN INCH OR TWO ON SOME OF THE
HIGHER RIDGES.
THERE REMAINS SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH THE DETAILS OF THIS SYSTEM.
RESIDENTS OF EASTERN KENTUCKY SHOULD STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER
