A rare April snowfall was observed in western Kentucky. As surface low pressure moved from east Texas into Mississippi and Alabama, most precipitation on the afternoon and evening of April 6th stayed to the south. However, a secondary low developed and interacted with enough leftover moisture to produce a band of precipitation overnight into the morning hours on April 7th. Cold air funneled into the region through the night, allowing precipitation to quickly change over to snow, with a very brief transition period of sleet for some locations. Many locations picked up anywhere from 0.5 to 1.5 of snow. Impacts to travel were minimal due to warm pavement temperatures, which melted the snow on roadways. State highway personnel treated bridges and overpasses in some counties. The highest reported snow amount was 1.5 inches in the Paducah area and also at Mattoon in Crittenden County. This was the 1st measurable snow in the month of April since 1983 for some locations, including Paducah. In April of 2004, far southern portions of Kentucky from Murray to Hopkinsville were blanketed with light accumulations of snow.
