*** UPDATE: FRIDAY, JAN. 10TH - 9:15 A.M.

FLOYD COUNTY, Ky. (WMDJ) - Heavy snowfall is now expected to begin Friday morning and last into the weekend for most of southern and eastern Kentucky. 

A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for eastern Kentucky with projected snowfall totals of 3-to-5 inches by Saturday afternoon. The Winter Storm Warning begins at 10 a.m. Friday and last until 1 p.m. Saturday.

Scattered flurries will persist into Saturday evening with sunny skies expected on Sunday and temperatures pushing 40 degrees, which will help thaw any snow and ice. 

Unlike last weekend's storm, this blast of winter weather will only contain snow, without ice or sleet, which caused thousands to lose power for several days earlier this week.
