It’s looking like rain will change over to snow Friday morning/afternoon, and some accumulation is possible.

Winter weather advisories and watches were in place from southern OH to northern Georgia, west to Arkansas and MS, east to New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania, and as far south as Georgia and North Carolina. “Rainfall amounts over 1” can be expected and thunderstorms will also be possible, especially west of I-65.

By Wednesday night, the forecast drops to a 40 percent chance of rain with a low around 35 degrees.

The NWS expects moderate to heavy snowfall for a large portion of the Mid-South.

The weather service office in Birmingham said temperatures in central Alabama would be above freezing when the precipitation band comes through and that its central Alabama counties would see only rain. As we move through the day we will reach a high of 45, but another lo will move in and bring us rain or late Thursday into Thursday night. But, according to the National Weather Service, it too soon to predict just how “high-impact” the storm will be. With daylight coming, the temperatures rising and the snow ending, road conditions will begin to improve over the next few hours, said cabinet spokeswoman Andrea Clifford.

Good afternoon, everyone. Snow continues to fall across much of central and eastern Kentucky.
