The Winter Storm Warning for western Kentucky continues with forecasters saying the system has moved slightly south in the past 24 hours, which has meant revised snowfall estimates.
Meteorologist Daniel Spaeth says Trigg, Christian, and Todd counties should see between three and six inches of snow today and tonight, while areas of Caldwell, Hopkins, and Lyon counties could see up to eight inches.
Either way, Spaeth says travel will be tricky later tonight and tomorrow.

Not all of the weather news is bad, however. Spaeth says temperatures for the last week of February and the first few weeks of March are looking to be above normal. However, rainfall is also expected to be above normal for the same period.
