Snow possible Christmas night, Wednesday morning

From the National Weather Service in Paducah:

...SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL POSSIBLE AND WINDY CONDITIONS EXPECTED
CHRISTMAS NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING...

A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO MOVE FROM THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS NORTHEAST THROUGH TENNESSEE INTO KENTUCKY CHRISTMAS NIGHT
INTO WEDNESDAY. SEVERAL FORECAST MODELS INDICATE SIGNIFICANT SNOW
WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI AND
LOWER OHIO RIVER VALLEYS. THE PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN
AS RAIN ACROSS PORTIONS OF WEST KENTUCKY. AS TEMPERATURES DROP
WEDNESDAY EVENING...THIS MAY CAUSE SOME ICING ON ROADWAYS.

HOWEVER...THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY...WITH SOME INDICATIONS
THAT THE LOW COULD MOVE A LITTLE FARTHER SOUTHEAST AND EAST OF THE
REGION. THIS WOULD LEAD TO LESSER SNOW AMOUNTS. OVERALL...AT LEAST
SOME SNOW ACCUMULATION IS LIKELY.

EVEN IF THE AREA RECEIVES LESS SIGNIFICANT SNOW AMOUNTS...WINDY
CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE REGION CHRISTMAS AFTERNOON
AND CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST EARLY WEDNESDAY.  BLOWING SNOW COULD
CAUSE REDUCED VISIBILITIES FOR PEOPLE TRAVELING ACROSS THE
AREA...AND WIND CHILL READINGS WILL DROP INTO THE TEENS CHRISTMAS
NIGHT.

PLEASE CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS AND BE PREPARED
TO MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO YOUR HOLIDAY TRAVEL PLANS.
