Paducah, Kentucky – Persistent rounds of rain are forecast across the Quad State region from Sunday through next Thursday, potentially bringing 1 to 2.5 inches of total rainfall, according to the National Weather Service in Paducah.
The agency said a cold front arriving Saturday night will shift the region from warm, dry conditions to a cooler and wetter pattern beginning Sunday. That frontal boundary is expected to linger through much of the workweek, serving as a focus for repeated rounds of rainfall.
Most precipitation is expected to fall as rain. However, forecasters noted some snow could mix in over the northern half of the Quad State region Sunday night into early Monday morning. Temperatures near the Interstate 64 corridor may dip close to freezing early Monday, though recent warm ground conditions are expected to prevent impacts to roads. No wintry travel issues are anticipated at this time.
Rainfall totals through the week could range between 1 and 2.5 inches, with the highest amounts currently forecast across northern and northwestern portions of the region, where drought conditions have been most significant.
The National Weather Service cautioned that the exact timing and placement of individual rain rounds may shift in the coming days. While confidence is increasing due to the stalled frontal boundary, officials noted precipitation totals could trend lower depending on system development.
The extended wet pattern may affect outdoor plans and daily commutes as the new workweek begins.
