Impactful Winter Weather Expected Tonight

Timing Tonight's Snow

Forecast Snow Accumulation

Reasonable Low/High End Scenarios

Accumulating snow is likely in Eastern #KYwx tonight, and this will lead to hazardous travel conditions on Friday morning. A winter storm warning has been issued for Bath and Montgomery Counties. Winter weather advisories have been expanded into the Hal Rogers Parkway corridor. A special weather statement has been issued for counties along the Tennessee border.

Here's a city-by-city look at the timeline for tonight's snow. Note that it starts in southwestern locales first, and lasts for longer in locations further to the north. Don't see your city here? Go to weather.gov/jkl and enter your address in the search bar for a more localized forecast. #KYwx

UPDATE! Accumulations are still expected to increase the further north one goes, with 2-4 inches most likely north of the Mountain Parkway. Recent guidance has trended further SW, leading to an expanded area of accumulation. Some of this afternoon's model runs are also hinting that the lower end of these ranges may materialize. Regardless of exact totals, any snow that falls is likely to stick due to today's colder temperatures. #KYwx

Boom or Bust? Accumulations will likely be greater than the values on the left, but some drier-than-expected air in the column could lead to lower snow totals when we wake up tomorrow morning. Likewise, the totals on the right are not the most-likely scenario. This system has multiple limiting factors aloft that should prevent accumulations from getting that high. #KYwx
