...COMPLEX WINTER WEATHER SYSTEM TO AFFECT EAST KENTUCKY EARLY NEXT WEEK...

A DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO MOVE EAST OUT OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS MONDAY...PASSING JUST SOUTH OF KENTUCKY ON TUESDAY. THIS WEATHER SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO BRING PLENTY OF RAIN TO THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. NORTH OF THE MOUNTAIN PARKWAY...THE CHANCE FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW OR ICE IS THE BEST...AS A WINTRY MIX OF FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET MOVE INTO THE AREA.

THE AREA SOUTH OF THE MOUNTAIN PARKWAY...ESPECIALLY THE CUMBERLAND RIVER BASIN HAS THE BEST POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY TO EXCESSIVE RAINFALL. THIS COULD RESULT IN A POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING. LATER...AS THE NORTHERLY WINDS BRING IN THE COLDER AIR...THE RAIN WILL LIKELY CHANGE TO FREEZING RAIN AND A PERIOD OF SLEET BEFORE GOING OVER TO ALL SNOW DURING THE AFTERNOON TUESDAY. FROM THIS...THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW OR ICE.

THE AREA BETWEEN THE PARKWAYS HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME FREEZING RAIN AND SOME ACCUMULATING ICE AND SNOW...AS WELL AS THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY PRECIPITATION. THE AMOUNT AND SPECIFIC TYPE OF PRECIPITATION WILL DEPEND ON THE TRACK OF THIS DEVELOPING WEATHER SYSTEM AS WELL AS THE POSITION OF THE ARCTIC AIR MASS. THERE IS STILL A LARGE AMOUNT OF UNCERTAINTY IN THE EXACT FORECAST TRACK AT THIS TIME. ACCORDINGLY...PEOPLE IN EASTERN KENTUCKY SHOULD MONITOR LATER FORECASTS FOR UPDATES.
