Weekend winter storm: location or amount is still in question

The National Weather Service in Paducah is watching the potential for snow this weekend, but the amount or location is still a question mark.

As of Tuesday morning, there's growing confidence for a winter storm to impact portions of the quad state region this weekend.

Accumulating snow is most likely at this time, but some ice is possible.

The unanswered questions are still how much snow, and where the heaviest snow will track. Even the timing of the arrival of the parent storm is still unclear.

As of Tuesday morning, Weather Service meteorologists are putting western Kentucky at a 30 to 50 percent chance of receiving four inches of snow or more, with the higher chance along the Tennessee border. The chances of getting at least two inches of snow are 50 to 70 percent so far.

As a guideline, you should prepare for hazardous travel conditions as early as Friday night.

The window of how long snow will continue to fall is also still not clear, but snow could still be in the forecast through Sunday.

After the snow, Arctic air will arrive. Temperatures are likely to run about 20 degrees below normal for Friday through at least Monday. That would put high temperatures in the teens to low 20s with wind chill readings falling into the single digits above and below zero.
