Spring weather makes way for mild temperatures, rain chances

Hopefully you’re not tired of Spring just yet, because this week’s weather is shaping up to be mild and maybe even a little rainy.

The week will start a little cooler than we’ve been used to recently, with temperatures in the mid-50’s, but it won’t take long to warm back up. That’s according to Meteorologist Andy Lesage with the National Weather Service in Paducah, who says temperatures will be warm again come Thursday, but then a stormy weather system will move in, cooling things back down and bringing a pretty decent chance for rain.

Some of that rain could be heavy at times starting Friday, but Lesage says they’re not expecting too many flooding issues at this time.

The rain will linger through the weekend, and then in the 8-to-14-day outlook, it’s looking like the above average chances for precipitation will continue, with below average temperatures in store.

Lesage says they’re also keeping an eye out for another heavy rain event on April 29, but that’s still a ways out, so they’ll be keeping an eye on the data. Stay tuned to the WHOP Family of Stations for any watches or warnings that may develop in the coming weather patterns.
