Weather Alert in Kentucky
Special Weather Statement issued February 7 at 1:35PM EST by NWS Jackson KY
AREAS AFFECTED: Fleming; Montgomery; Bath; Rowan; Powell; Menifee; Elliott; Morgan; Johnson; Wolfe; Magoffin; Floyd; Breathitt; Knott; Perry; Letcher; Martin; Pike
DESCRIPTION: Confidence is increasing that a narrow band of light snow will 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 likely see little to no snow. The exact placement of this snowband remains uncertain. 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 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.

Cirrocumulus clouds form at high altitudes (usually around 5 km)
and have distinguishing characteristics displayed in a fine layer of
small cloud patches. These small cloud patches are sometimes referred to as
"cloudlets" in relation to the whole cloud formation.
Cirrocumulus clouds are formed from ice crystals and water droplets. Often, the
water droplets in the cloud freeze into ice crystals and the cloud becomes a
cirrostratus cloud. Because of this common occurrence, cirrocumulus cloud
formations generally pass rapidly.
