Winter storm to bring fluffy snow, freezing wind chills

Another storm is set to sweep across the state, but instead of bringing rain, this system is set to bring snow and icy temperatures.

A majority of Kentucky is under winter storm warning as a cold front is set to move east across the state. Meteorologist Chris Noles from the National Weather Service in Paducah says the warning is set from noon Tuesday to 9 a.m. Wednesday morning.

During that time Noles says the weather service is expecting snowfall to impact travel and for wind chills be around zero degrees.

Noles says they are expecting four-to-six inches of snowfall across most of the region, but closer to the Tennessee border in Hopkinsville and Murray they are expecting around three-to-four inches of snowfall.

In the Christian, Todd and Trigg County area, heavy snow is expected to start between 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday and is set to conclude by 7 a.m. Wednesday morning. Noles says they are expecting a light fluffy snow.

Temperatures are set to peak back above freezing on Saturday.
