Another winter storm is on the horizon, just days after Winter Storm Blair pounded parts of Kentucky with snow, sleet, and freezing rain. Fortunately, there won’t be any additional freezing rain due to this system. The ice that fell on Sunday and Monday hasn’t moved because of this week’s Arctic blast. A large portion of the Commonwealth of Kentucky is still frozen solid due to the unusually cold weather. However, there will be a chance for comparatively big amounts of snow to accumulate under the new method.
A Winter Storm Watch has been issued by the National Weather Service, and effects are anticipated to start early Friday morning. The NWS provides a sneak peek at the storm in their Hazardous Weather Outlook.
From late Thursday through early Friday, parts of Western Kentucky and far southeast Missouri are under a Winter Storm Watch. There will probably be accumulating snowfall throughout the entire region, which could affect traffic. For further information, see the statement.
This is a map showing the current coverage of Winter Storm Watch. As you can see, that watch area includes a large portion of western, central, and eastern Kentucky.
It may deliver four or more inches of snow, according to Paducah’s National Weather Service.
The precipitation, which is expected to start late Thursday night and continue into Friday evening, is expected to have a significant impact on travel.
