Special Weather Statement issued February 7 at 9:25PM EST by NWS Jackson KY
Additional Details Here.
A narrow band of light snow will likely impact portions of the area Sunday morning, primarily between 7 AM and noon. Within this band, a quick 1 inch of accumulation is possible; however, locations just outside of this narrow swath will probably see little to no snow. The exact placement of this snowband remains uncertain, though. Currently, the highest probabilities for 1 inch of accumulation are across northeast Kentucky, generally northeast of a line from Morehead to West Liberty to Prestonsburg and southeast to Elkhorn City. Note that this axis of higher accumulation could still shift slightly northeast or southwest as the system develops. Those with travel plans Sunday morning are encouraged to monitor the latest forecasts. Be prepared for rapidly changing visibilities and potentially slick, wintry driving conditions developing over short distances.

Special Weather Statement issued February 4 at 6:59AM EST by NWS Jackson KY
Additional Details Here.
Light snow, freezing drizzle, and drizzle will be possible today. Precipitation will increase in coverage late this morning and then persist through the afternoon before diminishing tonight. Any snow and ice accumulations will be light, with less than one inch of snow accumulation and no more than a light glaze of ice. Accumulation potential is greatest along and south of the KY Highway 80/Hal Rogers Parkway corridor. Temperatures will hover near the freezing mark through mid-afternoon, then begin to drop into the teens overnight. This will result in a hard freeze of any melted ice and snow. In addition to the light wintry precipitation, areas of fog will reduce visibility at times. Locally dense fog may result in visibility reductions of one-quarter mile or less, especially southeast of the KY Highway 80/Hal Rogers Parkway corridor. Travelers are advised to use caution. Use low-beam headlights and increase your following distance. Avoid sudden braking and/or accelerations through curves and when approaching intersections, in case you encounter slick roads.
