Paducah, KY – The National Weather Service in Paducah has put a winter storm advisory into effect for residents of western Kentucky, southern Illinois and southeastern Missouri until 6 a.m. tomorrow. NWS meteorologist David Humphries says area residents can expect a mix of snow and ice this evening.

"By tomorrow morning we think you'll have a good covering of anywhere from one inch to maybe two inches of snow and ice on the ground which of course can make for treacherous travel conditions."
