Paducah, KY – Another round of rain and snow is expected this week across western Kentucky, with flooding concerns rising as heavy precipitation moves in. Residents should prepare for potential travel disruptions and minor river flooding as conditions worsen.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Paducah, steady rainfall will continue through Tuesday, followed by another system Wednesday bringing rain and mixed precipitation. Highs will reach the mid-40s, but overnight lows dipping into the 20s could cause slick roads, especially in elevated areas.
By midweek, additional heavy rainfall could lead to one to four inches of accumulation, increasing the risk of flooding in low-lying regions. The Ohio River and surrounding areas may experience elevated water levels, with flash flooding possible in some locations.
The extended forecast shows a brief break on Thursday with partly sunny skies before another round of rain moves in Friday night. Residents should stay updated on weather alerts and prepare for possible travel delays, especially on major roads like I-24.
For real-time updates, check with the NWS and local emergency officials. Be cautious while driving, and avoid flooded roadways.
