Each county in Highway District 12 is under a National Weather Service Winter Storm Warning tonight through tomorrow, Thursday, February 18. Heavy, wet snow is expected to start in Knott County around 9 p.m. and spread quickly. The precipitation will move through Lawrence, Johnson, and northwestern Floyd County as it travels east. The rest of Floyd and Knott, plus Martin, Pike, and Letcher could see precipitation as early as 10 p.m.
