If you’re in Paducah, Kentucky, don’t let the calm fool you—wild weather is on the way! This week is serving up a full plate of severe storms, powerful winds, and heavy rain, but if you can get through the mess, there’s a beautiful, warm weekend waiting on the other side.
Let’s break it all down so you can stay ahead of the storm and plan your week accordingly.
Wednesday, March 12 – Stormy and Dangerous
Wednesday is looking like the worst day of the week, weather-wise. It’ll start off just fine, with some sun and temperatures climbing into the mid-70s. But don’t let that fool you—by late afternoon and evening, things could get nasty.
- Severe thunderstorms are expected to roll in.
- Winds could gust up to 50 mph, which means possible tree damage and power outages.
- Heavy rain and hail are possible, and some storms could get intense.
What You Should Do:
✔ Tie down or bring inside anything that could blow away (patio furniture, trash cans, decorations).
✔ Charge your phone and have a flashlight handy in case of power outages.
✔ Keep an eye on the forecast and alerts—this storm system is not one to ignore.
Thursday, March 13 – Rainy, Windy, and Chilly
After the storms move through, Thursday will still be gray, breezy, and damp.
- Highs will hover around the low 70s, but it’ll feel cooler with the wind.
- Scattered showers will linger throughout the day, but we’re not expecting severe storms like Wednesday.
- Winds will still be strong, so don’t be surprised if you hear some rattling outside.
Not a washout, but definitely not a great day for outdoor plans either.
Friday, March 14 – A Fresh Start
By Friday afternoon, we’ll finally start to shake off the stormy weather.
- The sun will break through, and temperatures will warm up to 80°F—yes, 80!
- Winds will calm down, making for a much more comfortable day.
- The weekend preview starts here—it’s only going to get better from here!
Weekend Outlook: Finally, Some Springtime Fun!
Here’s the reward for putting up with all that stormy weather:
- Saturday and Sunday will be warm, sunny, and dry—perfect spring weather!
- Highs will stay in the upper 70s to low 80s, making it one of the nicest weekends we’ve had in a while.
- If you’ve been waiting for a chance to grill out, go for a walk, or just enjoy the sunshine, this is it!
What’s the Game Plan?
Stay weather-aware on Wednesday! Have alerts turned on and be ready for storms.
Thursday is still breezy and damp, so pack an umbrella if you’re heading out.
By Friday, the sun starts making a comeback, and the weekend is looking AMAZING.
