AREAS AFFECTED: Fleming; Montgomery; Bath; Rowan; Estill; Powell; Menifee; Rockcastle; Jackson; Pulaski; Laurel; Wayne; McCreary; Whitley; Knox; Elliott; Morgan; Johnson; Wolfe; Magoffin; Lee; Breathitt; Owsley; Clay
DESCRIPTION: Some light snow accumulations will continue into this evening as rounds of snow showers track across the area. Wind gusts as high as 30 mph could occur in the heavier snow showers. This, when combined with the falling snow, could produce sudden sharp visibility reductions and quick light snow accumulations. Expect event total snow accumulations between a dusting and around 1 inch, with locally higher amounts possible wherever snow showers are the most persistent. Temperatures will be in the 20s for most areas, so expect times of slick, slushy, or snow covered roads. Any untreated roads and surfaces, including bridges, overpasses, decks, and steps may be icy. If traveling today, slow down and exercise caution. Allow plenty of extra time to reach your destination.

Altostratus clouds form at mid to high-level altitudes
(between 2 and 7 km) and are created by a warm, stable air mass which causes
water vapor
to condense as it rise through the atmosphere. Usually altostratus clouds are
featureless sheets characterized by a uniform color.
In some cases, wind punching through the cloud formation may give it a waved
appearance, called altostratus undulatus. Altostratus clouds
are commonly seen with other cloud formations accompanying them.

Next Topic: Cirrus Clouds
Cirrostratus clouds are high, thin clouds that form above
20,000 feet and are made mostly of ice crystals. They sometimes look like giant
feathers, horse tails, or curls of hair in the sky.
These clouds are pushed by the jet stream and can move at high speeds reaching
100 mph.
What do they indicate?
They indicate that a precipitation is likely within 24 hours.
