Most schools in Hopkinsville to remain closed Wednesday

Christian County Public Schools, along with Heritage Christian Academy, Saints Peter and Paul Catholic School and Hopkinsville Community College, will remain closed Wednesday because of the impact of snow and extreme cold. 

Only University Heights Academy announced plans to resume classes.

According to the National Weather Service forecast, Hopkinsville will get a break from the frigid temperatures on Wednesday — but only briefly. Wednesday will be sunny with a high around 31 degrees and Thursday’s high will be slightly above freezing.
