A stretch of sunny, mild weather will grace Paducah and Western Kentucky this week, offering ideal conditions for outdoor activities before a cold front arrives Sunday. High temperatures will hover between the mid-70s and low 80s, peaking on Saturday. Now is the perfect time to plan any remaining fall events before cooler air settles in early next week.
According to the National Weather Service, high pressure will dominate the region through Saturday, keeping skies clear and winds light. Wednesday through Friday will see high temperatures ranging from 75 to 82 degrees, with Thursday marking the warmest day of the week. Winds are expected to remain calm initially, with a slight increase by Friday.
Over the weekend, temperatures will climb as high as 85 degrees on Saturday, with a southwest wind blowing at 7 to 12 mph. Sunday’s forecast calls for a high near 83 degrees, but a significant change is expected as a cold front sweeps through the area. This front will bring cooler temperatures for the upcoming week, with daytime highs dropping to the mid-60s by Monday.
Residents are encouraged to make the most of the warm, pleasant weather, as it may be the last chance to enjoy summer-like temperatures this season. No rain is forecasted for the week, ensuring dry conditions on local roadways, including I-24 and Highway 60, commonly traveled routes in the area.
