Paducah, KY – Residents across western Kentucky, southern Illinois, and southeast Missouri can expect an unusually warm stretch of weather this week, according to the National Weather Service in Paducah. Temperatures will remain in the mid-to-upper 80s across most cities, well above seasonal averages for late September.
According to the NWS, Monday through Wednesday will bring highs close to 90°F in locations such as Evansville, Mt. Vernon, and Carbondale. Even as a slight cooldown arrives by Friday, with highs dipping to the low 80s, temperatures will still run warmer than normal for early October.
Overnight lows are forecast to remain mild as well, generally ranging between the upper 50s and lower 60s, preventing much relief from the daytime warmth. Cities including Owensboro, Paducah, and Cape Girardeau will hold steady in this range all week.
Forecasters emphasize that the warm pattern will remain locked in through at least Monday, October 6, keeping conditions dry and favorable for outdoor activities. However, the extended stretch of heat may add minor stress for those sensitive to higher-than-normal fall temperatures.
Communities across the tri-state should continue to monitor daily forecasts as the region transitions into October.
