Winter weather will continue to impact the area in the coming days.

The National Weather Service in Paducah, Kentucky, has issued a Winter Storm Warning for the area, in effect from 6 p.m. Sunday to 6 a.m. Tuesday.

The NWS expects heavy snow for the area between Sunday evening and Tuesday morning with accumulations of 3 to 6 inches locally.

Travel conditions will become dangerous tonight and Monday with Monday morning, Monday evening and Tuesday morning commutes to be impacted.

North winds at 10 to 15 miles per hour with gusts at 20 miles per hour will likely cause blowing and drifting snow.
