REGIONAL WEATHER SUMMARY
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY
250 PM CDT WED JUN 12 2013

WEDNESDAY MARKED THE HOTTEST DAY OF THE SEASON THUS FAR IN 2013.
UNDER ABUNDANT SUNSHINE...TEMPERATURES SOARED INTO THE 90S COUPLING
WITH HIGH HUMIDITY LEVELS. HEAT INDICES ACROSS THE QUAD STATE
AVERAGED FROM 100 TO 104 DEGREES. THE ONLY SOURCE OF HEAT RELIEF
CAME FROM THE BREEZY SOUTHWEST WIND AT SPEEDS FROM 10 TO 20 MILES
PER HOUR WITH A FEW HIGHER GUSTS.

A FAST MOVING STORM SYSTEM WILL RACE ACROSS THE WABASH RIVER VALLEY
TONIGHT...BRINGING WITH IT A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS. MOST OF
THE WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER TONIGHT IS EXPECTED TO BE PRIMARILY
NORTH OF THE QUAD STATE AREA IN WHICH THAT AREA IS UNDER A MODERATE
TO HIGH RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER. HOWEVER...SHOULD CONDITIONS ALLOW
FOR STORMS TO WORK THEIR WAY FAR ENOUGH SOUTH INTO SOUTHEAST
ILLINOIS...SOUTHWEST INDIANA AND WESTERN KENTUCKY...THOSE STORMS
THAT DO MATERIALIZE COULD BE VERY STRONG TO SEVERE. EVERYONE SHOULD
PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO DEVELOPING WEATHER AND BE PREPARED TO SEEK
SAFE SHELTER SHOULD WARNINGS BE ISSUED.

COOLER AND DRIER AIR WILL ULTIMATELY WORK IN BEHIND THIS FAST MOVING
STORM SYSTEM AS IT DEPARTS THURSDAY. 80S AND 60S WILL BE A
WELCOMED RELIEF FROM THE EXTREME MID WEEK HEAT AND HUMIDITY...AND
SHOULD LAST INTO AND THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEKEND.

ANOTHER ROUND OF RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS SEEMS POSSIBLE FOR THE
REGION AS WE NEAR THE LATER PART OF THE WEEKEND INTO THE FIRST PART
OF THE NEW WORK WEEK.
