Paducah, Kentucky – Rain chances increase Sunday evening across western Kentucky, with a brief mix of snow possible near the Interstate 64 corridor early Monday, potentially affecting early commuters.
According to the National Weather Service in Paducah, a slight chance of rain remains in the forecast this evening before precipitation becomes more widespread Sunday night. Forecasters say some mixing with snow is possible near I-64 early Monday, with a light dusting limited mainly to grassy surfaces.
The system marks the beginning of what meteorologists describe as a “very rainy start to March” following a record dry winter across much of the Quad State region. Rainfall totals over the next seven days could be substantial, with repeated rounds of showers expected.
Off-and-on showers, along with isolated thunderstorms, are forecast from Wednesday through Friday next week. While improving drought conditions are likely, officials caution that excessive rainfall could lead to localized flooding issues later in the week.
Drivers along I-64 and surrounding routes early Monday should monitor road conditions, especially in areas where brief snow mixing could occur. Students and early-shift workers may see wet roads during peak commute hours.
The 8-to-14 day outlook shows above-normal precipitation chances across much of the central United States, including western Kentucky and southern Illinois.
Residents are encouraged to monitor updates from the National Weather Service for forecast changes.
