Paducah, KY — A damp and cooler pattern is set to settle over western Kentucky, southern Illinois, and southeast Missouri from Sunday through Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service office in Paducah.
After a fairly typical Saturday, rain chances ramp up sharply Sunday morning, with the likelihood of precipitation running about 70 to 85 percent across much of the region. Communities including Paducah, Evansville, Cape Girardeau, and Hopkinsville should plan for a wet start to the week.
By midweek, many locations are expected to collect roughly 1 to 2 inches of rain, with locally higher amounts possible in the far southern tier, especially near Poplar Bluff and Murray. While the rainfall will be beneficial for some, it will also make for several gray, unsettled days.
Temperatures will trend noticeably cooler behind the wet weather. Highs are forecast to reach the low to mid-60s early in the week before slipping into the 50s on Tuesday and Wednesday—about 5 to 10 degrees below what is typical for this time of year.
Severe weather is not anticipated, but residents can expect periods of light to moderate rain, occasional breezes, and a generally cool, unsettled stretch through midweek. A gradual drying trend is projected to take hold later in the week.
