912 FXUS63 KPAH 100533 AFDPAH Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Paducah KY 1133 PM CST Sun Nov 9 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... - Wind chills in the teens tonight and Monday night. - A chance of flurries or light snow showers tonight into Monday, with best chances north and east, where a dusting on grassy surfaces is possible. - A warmup begins by mid week with temperatures returning to the 60s, and 70s forecast by the weekend. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 100 PM CST Sun Nov 9 2025 The heart of the giant long wave cyclone makes mid Ohio River Valley passage late tonight into Monday. As a result, it drags down the coldest of the cold polar air mass, plummeting temperatures into the hard freeze 20s the next 2 nights, as wind chills bottom out in the teens. Highs Monday struggle to attain 40 degrees, which is a good 20+ degrees below normal. The strong PVA rotating across the area with the mean trof axis may even squeeze out a few flurries or light snow showers while this occurs, with best chances north and east closest to the center of the cyclone; would not be shocked to see a dusting on grassy surfaces, but no significant accumulations are expected. Surface high pressure takes over thereafter, and by the mid week, upper height rises correspond with a nice warmup that ensues. We`ll see 60s return to the forecast over the back half of the work week, with 70s reemerging by the weekend. && .AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z TUESDAY/...
