It’s looking likely the region will see some type of snowfall Thursday, though how much accumulation develops could differ across locations.
Calling it a fast-moving system, Chris Noles with the National Weather Service in Paducah says the areas of Christian, Todd and Trigg counties will see snow start between 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.
Currently, the Hopkinsville is projected to receive three to four inches of snow, with snowfall amounts decreasing the further west and north you go. Noles says the zone of highest impact is likely to be from the LBL area, to the Hopkinsville and Elkton areas.
His says amounts and timing could still change as the system moves in, but he doesn’t expect any major changes. The biggest impact is expected to be road conditions, especially on secondary roads and less traveled roadways in rural areas. A winter weather advisory has already been issued for western Kentucky and middle Tennessee lasting until later afternoon Thursday.
The temperature is expected to become bitterly cold, with wind chills to make it feel close to zero degrees or below across the region.
