National Weather Service Paducah KY
255 AM CDT Thu Mar 28 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Dry air and good mixing are forecast through Friday. Light winds
this morning will become west southwest this afternoon.
Southwesterly winds on Friday will be quite gusty, on the order
of 20 to 30 mph within the transport layer. Minimum RH values
will generally range from 25 to 35 percent today, but may dip
below 25 percent in the Ozark Foothills. Lowest values on Friday
are expected across west Kentucky, with values of 25 to 30
percent. Humidity levels increase over the weekend and small rain
chances return. Our best chance for a wetting rain including
thunderstorms holds off until Monday or Monday night though.
