Special Weather Statement issued November 11 at 4:19PM EST by NWS Jackson KY
Multiple rounds of showers, mostly rain in the valleys and snow at higher elevations, are expected on Friday and Friday night. Temperatures should be cold enough for minor snow accumulations at elevations of 2,500 feet, mainly a dusting to half inch on grassy and elevated surfaces. However, localized 1 to 2 inch snow accumulations are possible over the highest portions of Big Black Mountain. The snowfall combined with air temperatures falling deep in the 20s could yield a few slippery spots over the highest portions of Highway 160 near the Kentucky-Virginia state line, especially on Friday night.

SAFETY and DATA MESSAGE
When a severe thunderstorm warning is issued, the storm may produce damaging winds, large hail, dangerous lightning, and heavy rain. In some cases, heavy rainfall produced by a severe storm can also lead to flash flooding. Do not drive vehicles through flooded areas. The water depth or fast flowing water/mud/debris from a flash flood will make road conditions unsafe. Do not rely soley on data presented here or other third-party websites - always check your official national and local weather service agency website, socials, radio and/or TV stations for making critical decisions related to weather events.
Please carefully read each posted Warning and Alert as it relates to the area(s) being affected. We may provide a wider range of issued severe weather warnings for surrounding cities and counties, so some alerts may not directly impact this location. This is done to help with preparing for severe weather that may overlap or be heading towards Crestwood.
Use the Radar Maps link provided to understand the trajectory of a storm.
