...SOME LIGHT SNOW EXPECTED LATE MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING...

AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING IN THE GULF OF MEXICO IS POISED TO MOVE RIGHT OVER EAST KENTUCKY. AFTER INITIALLY SPREADING WIDESPREAD RAIN ACROSS THE AREA THIS DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE PAST LATE TONIGHT. AS A RESULT...COLDER AIR WILL BE PULLED IN BEHIND THE SYSTEM...MIXING SNOW SHOWERS IN WITH THE RAIN. THE SNOW SHOWERS... MIXED AT TIMES WITH RAIN IN THE VALLEYS...WILL LINGER THROUGH TUESDAY...GRADUALLY TAPERING TO SNOW SHOWERS IN THE AFTERNOON AND THEN FLURRIES BEFORE ENDING TUESDAY NIGHT.

AT THIS TIME...ONLY SOME VERY LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED... WITH A DUSTING TO HALF AN INCH OF SNOW FALL POSSIBLE IN THE VALLEYS...MAINLY ON GRASSY SURFACES AND WOODEN DECKS. AT THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS...ABOVE TWO THOUSAND FEET AND ALONG THE BORDER WITH VIRGINIA AND WEST VIRGINIA... AROUND AN INCH WILL BE POSSIBLE. DAYTIME TEMPERATURES ON TUESDAY WILL BE CRITICAL IN DETERMINING ACTUAL SNOW ACCUMULATION...ESPECIALLY IN THE LOWER ELEVATIONS. IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE THAT THE VALLEYS WILL SEE SNOW FOR MOST OF THE DAY...THOUGH WITH LITTLE ACTUAL ACCUMULATION TO SHOW FOR IT.
