NWS Says Snow is Coming But How Much?

Weather forecasters say western Kentucky will get some measurable snow this weekend, but exactly how much remains up in the air as models continue to disagree on where the incoming system will settle.

National Weather Service meteorologist Andy Lesage says there continues to be some uncertainty on where the system will land, which in turn, will determine how much snow is received.
