Fire Weather Planning Forecast
National Weather Service Paducah KY
500 AM CDT Tue Apr 16 2024

.DISCUSSION...

Dry weather will persist into early afternoon. Then showers and
thunderstorms are forecast to progress eastward across the area
from late this afternoon 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.
