695 FXUS63 KPAH 251103 AFDPAH Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Paducah KY 603 AM CDT Fri Sep 25 2026 .KEY MESSAGES... - Another mild day is in store with highs generally in the mid- upper 70s. We remain dry through the weekend and into the start of next week. - Temps will warm up again into the 80s for next week. - Next system could be mid week next week with the potential for widespread rain chances (30-60%). However, confidence on timing and extent are low at this time. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 142 AM CDT Fri Sep 25 2026 Ridging continues to build over the region today into a pseudo Rex block with a nor`easter off the coast through the weekend. Cloud cover has finally given way to clearer skies and slightly warmer temps. Expecting some increasing mid level clouds today and highs in the mid-upper 70s through the weekend along with dry conditions. Southerly flow returns early next week along with a slight warming trend back into the 80s as the block breaks down and ridging reforms over the region. Mid to late next week still has the potential to be wet with an approaching southern stream low pressure system. There is better model agreement than last night but there are still some key differences primarily in timing and placement. NBM still has PoPs increasing from west to east Tuesday night and continuing area wide through Friday (30-60%). This whole period will not be continuously wet, there will be dry periods. This PoP distribution is due to the timing differences in the models most likely. Temperatures look to remain in the 80s through next week. && .AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/...
