Winter Storm Watch Issued for Friday Afternoon and Friday Night

I'll just bet you haven't had your fill of winter weather. (Is the sarcasm translating well?) Seriously, we have more coming as a winter storm watch has been issued for the tri-state for the weekend.

Whether we like it or not, here is the official word from the National Weather Service:

...WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
LATE FRIDAY NIGHT...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN PADUCAH HAS ISSUED A WINTER STORM
WATCH...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH LATE
FRIDAY NIGHT.

* TIMING: SNOW AND SLEET WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA BY MIDDAY
  FRIDAY. THE PRECIPITATION WILL INTENSIFY AND TRANSITION TO
  FREEZING RAIN FRIDAY NIGHT. TEMPERATURES WILL WARM ABOVE
  FREEZING BY EARLY SATURDAY.

* MAIN IMPACT: A COMBINATION OF LIGHT SNOW AND SLEET ACCUMULATIONS
  UNDERNEATH A THIN LAYER OF ICE WILL CREATE A PERIOD OF VERY
  HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS...ESPECIALLY FRIDAY EVENING. THERE
  IS SOME POTENTIAL FOR MORE SIGNIFICANT ICING OF ELEVATED
  OBJECTS. IF THAT OCCURS...SOME ISOLATED POWER OUTAGES COULD
  BECOME A PROBLEM.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A WINTER STORM WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT
SNOW...SLEET...OR ICE ACCUMULATIONS THAT WOULD GREATLY IMPACT
TRAVEL. STAY TUNED FOR LATER STATEMENTS. THIS WATCH WILL BE
UPGRADED TO A WARNING IF WINTER STORM CONDITIONS BECOME MORE
CERTAIN.

In a word...YUCK!

In four words...HERE WE GO AGAIN!
