Fire Weather Planning Forecast
National Weather Service Paducah KY
354 PM CDT Tue Apr 16 2024

.DISCUSSION...

Showers and thunderstorms are developing out west and are
forecast to progress eastward across the area into tonight.
There`s a chance that scattered showers and thunderstorms may
redevelop mainly east of Interstate 57 on Wednesday as a cold
front passes through. The passage of a stronger cold front brings
another chance of showers and thunderstorms late Thursday into
Thursday night. Mainly dry and cooler conditions are expected by
Friday and the weekend. Good transport within a deep mixed layer
will promote very good to excellent dispersion today and
Wednesday.
