Our cold temperatures will be reluctant to let go of their hold on the region this week, but they will eventually warm to near normal temperatures, with a chance for precipitation on the weekend.
Meteorologist Steven Eddy with the National Weather Service in Paducah says the single-digit readings on the thermometer have been no fun, but those temperatures will slowly increase over Wednesday and the rest of the week, returning to more normal degrees—but there is a little chance of precipitation on Saturday.
After that, temperatures look to stay fairly average for a while, with normal chances for precipitation, but Eddy says the end of the month and the start of February is looking like it could be fairly rainy.
In the long-range outlook, Eddy says there are no big indicators at this time for significant ice or snowfall, or severe weather in the data.
