Special Weather Statement
Special Weather Statement issued January 29 at 3:22PM EST by NWS Louisville KY
A narrow band of light snow is expected to develop tonight as far north as the I-64 corridor. However, this swath of snow will then spread southeast across central and eastern Kentucky Friday morning into the afternoon hours. Minor accumulation of dry, fluffy snow is possible - perhaps up to an inch east of I-65 and south of the Bluegrass Parkway. East-central Kentucky, especially the I-75 corridor from Richmond southward, has the best chance of seeing 1 inch or more of accumulation. This band of light snow could quickly coat previously plowed/treated roads once again, which could lead to minor travel impacts on top of the lingering impacts from the winter storm. Slow down and use caution while traveling.
Statewide Deep Freeze; Late Flurries for North-Central KY
"A powerful Arctic air mass will maintain a firm grip on the Commonwealth today. Expect a frigid morning with sub-zero wind chills in the north and east, followed by a mostly dry day. A weak disturbance late this evening may bring scattered light snow flurries to the I-64 corridor, though no significant accumulation is expected."
