Paducah, Ky. – Clear skies and calm winds will dominate western Kentucky Sunday night, but clouds quickly build back Monday as the next system edges closer. Drivers along I-24 through Paducah and McCracken County can expect smooth travel overnight, but conditions turn less steady heading into the workweek.
According to the National Weather Service in Paducah, Monday brings increasing clouds with highs near 81. Winds remain light, but cloud cover may make outdoor plans less comfortable compared to Sunday’s full sunshine. Motorists are encouraged to stay weather-aware late in the week as rain chances creep back by Thursday afternoon.
Tuesday looks more favorable, with plenty of sunshine and highs in the low 80s. North winds shift gently through the day, offering a cooler, less humid feel. By Wednesday, Paducah holds steady under sunny skies and light winds, giving residents a midweek break before unsettled conditions return.
Thursday becomes the pivot point. A slight chance of showers develops after 1 p.m., potentially affecting afternoon commutes on major corridors like U.S. 60 and I-24. Spotty rain lingers into Friday, with a continued risk for showers and isolated thunderstorms through Saturday.
Residents should use the early-week lull to catch up on outdoor chores, charge devices, and prepare for wet conditions later in the week. More advisories may follow as Thursday approaches, depending on storm strength and rainfall coverage.
