Paducah, KY – Residents across western Kentucky could see light snow showers move through the region late this afternoon into tonight, though impacts are expected to remain minimal.
According to the National Weather Service in Paducah, a weak disturbance will bring scattered light snow mainly east of the Mississippi River, with activity tapering off later this evening. Forecasters say a light dusting of snow is possible, but travel impacts are not expected due to warm ground temperatures and limited accumulation.
Snow shower chances tonight range between 30% and 50%, with higher probabilities east of Paducah, including parts of McCracken, Marshall, Livingston, and Lyon counties. Areas farther west, including southeast Missouri and southern Illinois, are expected to see little to no accumulation.
Temperatures tonight will dip to around 32 degrees, while Monday afternoon highs are forecast to climb into the mid-to-upper 40s, helping prevent lingering snow on roadways. Clouds will stick around into Monday night, with lows dropping back into the mid-20s to near 30 degrees.
Forecasters emphasized that this system is not expected to cause hazardous driving conditions, but motorists should remain alert for brief reductions in visibility during heavier snow showers, especially during the evening commute.
Looking ahead, temperatures are expected to remain above freezing through most of Monday, limiting any long-term impacts. No additional winter weather advisories are currently in effect for western Kentucky or the surrounding region.
Residents are encouraged to stay updated through local forecasts and official National Weather Service alerts as conditions evolve overnight.
