Although the exact track of this weekend’s winter storm remains unknown, the National Weather Service in Paducah has already taken action by issuing a Winter Storm Watch for Hopkins, Muhlenberg, and Crittenden Counties in western Kentucky.
The watch goes into effect early Sunday morning and remains in effect until 6:00 Monday and calls for heavy mixed precipitation, including total snow and sleet accumulations of four inches or more and ice accumulations of one-quarter inch or more.
The watch says that power outages and tree damage are possible due to the ice. Travel could be nearly impossible.
