The coldest December temperatures in nearly 20 years will arrive this weekend in Western Kentucky and a little snow will likely accompany the chill.
National Weather Service in Paducah Meteorologist Justin Gibbs says the entire weekend will be cold, but dangerously low temperatures and wind chills will settle in late Thursday night into Christmas Eve morning.
The current forecast calls for an inch or two of snow that will likely cause some travel impacts, but the big story will be the extreme cold.
Reduced visibility will become an issue with the gusty winds and blowing snow on Friday morning.
