Here in western Kentucky and southern Indiana, our weather fortunes are about to change after an unusually pleasant holiday season. A building winter storm could bring precipitation or a mix of snow and ice to the Tristate region, according to the National Weather Services.
This is the post that was produced early on Monday morning, December 30, from the Paducah office.
Of course, the sneak peek’s most concerning statement is “Significant winter precipitation appears likely somewhere.” If you enjoy snow, you’re undoubtedly thrilled to hear this news. I’m sure you’re reeling from over-dramatic dread if, like me, you could live your entire life without seeing snow.
Despite the fact that impact is still days away and that things could change, there is some positive news. According to eyewitness news meteorologist Ron Rhodes, several models indicate that snow and rain will mix in our area. The amount of wintry precipitation we receive would be significantly reduced if that were the case.
The first effects of the impending winter storm will be felt on Saturday night, as Ron predicts. This is the weekend outlook as of this morning, according to the National Weather Service.
There’s a risk of snow on Saturday night. somewhat overcast, with a low of 21. After midnight, a light and erratic wind turns east at a speed of 5 to 7 mph.
Sunday: There may be snow and rain. somewhat overcast, with a high of about 36. 7 to 10 mph winds from the southeast.
Naturally, we’ll update you as the potential winter storm develops and we have a better idea of how it might affect the Tristate region.
