New Event Winter Weather Advisory

URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Jackson KY
335 AM EST Sat Feb 6 2021

...Accumulating Snow This Evening into Sunday Morning...

An upper level disturbance working across the Ohio Valley and a
low pressure system tracking through the Southeast will combine
to bring a mix of rain and snow for most of eastern Kentucky
starting around sunset in the southwest and continuing northeast
through the evening. Meanwhile, a cold front will sweep across
the area tonight, bringing in a shot of colder air and changing
all the precipitation over to snow.

Locations south of Interstate 64 will have the best chance of
picking up an inch of snow or more through Sunday morning. At this
time, the most likely range for snowfall across the area appears
to be 1 to 3 inches. Locally higher amounts are possible for
locations above 2,500 feet elevation. There is a potential for
slick or snow covered roads to cause hazardous travel conditions
later tonight.
