...Light Snow Accumulations Possible Today...

A disturbance moving through the Deep South is producing light
precipitation across areas along the Tennessee, Kentucky, and
Virginia state line. The precipitation will fall as snow at
elevations generally around 2000 feet and higher. While
precipitation is expected to fall as rain and/or snow at times
below 2000 feet, temperatures will generally remain above
freezing. A dusting to a half of an inch is possible for valley
locations. The most likely location for accumulations is at
elevations above about 2000 feet, where 1 inch is possible, and 2
inches possible above 3000 feet. This may affect travel through
mid afternoon at the highest elevations and mountain passes such
as Pine and Black Mountains or the Log Mountains of western Bell
County.

...Light Snow Today...

A disturbance moving through the Deep South is producing some
light precipitation across portions of the area this morning.
While the precipitation will fall as rain and/or snow at times,
temperatures will only be marginally cold enough for light snow
to accumulate on area ridgetops, and then mainly on the
grassy/leafy areas. No more than a dusting, if that, is expected
in the valleys. The most likely location for any accumulations
would be along ridge top locations generally south of the Hal
Rogers Parkway and KY Highway 80, where a half of an inch could
accumulate on grassy/leafy areas and elevated surfaces.
