Special Weather Statement issued December 5 at 9:15PM EST by NWS Jackson KY
Additional Details Here.
Patchy drizzle and fog have developed across eastern Kentucky this evening, especially over higher terrain. At higher elevations, temperatures are hovering around freezing, resulting in the potential for a light glaze of ice accumulation from freezing drizzle. Additionally, a few sheltered valleys and hollows may have travel surface temperatures at or slightly below freezing. Isolated instances of black ice are possible in these areas, especially where roads are untreated. Travelers are encouraged to treat all damp or wet roads as having the potential for black ice, even where air temperatures are slightly above freezing. Increase following distance, and avoid accelerating or sharp braking through curves and intersections.
