A cyclone that developed across the southern plains early on the 4th of February spawned weak low pressure that moved into western Tennessee by early afternoon, crossing eastern Kentucky during the evening hours. A strong southwesterly low level jet developed during the morning hours, bringing ample moisture northeast toward the Commonwealth. With the track of the surface low, north central Kentucky experienced northeasterly winds. With antecedent cold air, aided in part by a fresh snow pack, surface temperatures stayed around 31 to 32 through the afternoon and evening hours. Brief heavy snow quickly changed to sleet and then freezing rain during the mid-afternoon hours, continuing until just after midnight. Even though temperatures did not support efficient ice accumulations, ample rainfall brought ice amounts of one quarter of an inch on elevated surfaces. Lessor amounts of ice accumulated along and southeast of the Cumberland Parkway. Scattered tree damage and power outages were reported across northern Kentucky. Heavy rain in excess of 2 1/2 inches fell within a 6 hour period on partially frozen ground near the city of Bowling Green, several streets became impassable with local emergency management reporting some water rescues.
