762 FXUS63 KPAH 112311 AFDPAH Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Paducah KY 511 PM CST Tue Nov 11 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... - A nice warming trend will see temperatures reach into the 70s by week`s end. - The next best chance of rain/storms is early next week. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 100 PM CST Tue Nov 11 2025 Brisk south to southwest winds will gradually subside their gustiness over the course of the evening, but maintain some light gradient flow overnight. They`ll shift to west or northwest tmrw and won`t be as gusty, as the gradient loosens under more of a surface high pressure influence. The aforementioned surface high pressure ridges just to our east as return flow southerlies reestablish by week`s end. That ultimately shoots H8 temps back into the teens C as upper/H5 heights expand about 10 DM by 12Z Sat, which translates to surface highs reaching into the 70s again. Here are the week`s end record temps, since we`ll be getting close, maybe not quite this warm but approaching: Friday Record Highs PAH 77 (1964) EVV 77 (1971) CGI 80 (1964) Saturday Record Highs PAH 80 (1955) EVV 80 (1955) CGI 78 (1971) Sunday Record Highs PAH 78 (1958) EVV 78 (1952) CGI 77 (1965) It`s been interesting watching the longer term solutions to the late weekend/early next week system with respect to our rain chances or lack thereof. It looks like the day-to-day solutions trend toward a slower progression and therefore drier weekend, pushing better pops into early next week, including the thunder chance. We`ll see if the blend picks up on this trending in the near future runs. && .AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY/... Issued at 508 PM CST Tue Nov 11 2025 VFR conditions expected through the end of the period.
