Paducah, KY – A powerful cold front moving into Kentucky this weekend is set to bring subfreezing temperatures and the possibility of light snow on Saturday.
The National Weather Service in Paducah reports that temperatures will sharply drop starting Friday, with lows plunging into the teens by nightfall. Saturday will remain cold, with highs near 40°F and a 20% chance of snow accumulation, particularly along the I-64 corridor.
