National Weather Service Cancels Winter Storm Watch for Tri-State
We have some good news, and some not-as-good news in regards to the weather! The not-as-good? It's still expected to snow across the Tri-State Friday night into Saturday. The good news? It's expected to be an inch or less which has led the National Weather Service in Paducah to cancel the Winter Storm Watch they issued early Thursday morning.
Here's the complete statement from the NWS:
