Slight risk of severe weather possible for our area this week

The National Weather Service in Paducah says there’s a “Slight Risk” for Severe Weather exists across our area.

Forecasters indicate that any strong to severe storms on Tuesday will occur mainly during the afternoon and evening hours.

Damaging winds will be the primary concern will small thunderstorm lines or clusters of thunderstorms.

Some hail and possibly an isolated tornado cannot be completely ruled out given the cold air aloft and the sharp change of winds with height in the atmosphere.

Moisture will remain somewhat limited for significant thunderstorms, but will continue to be monitored tonight through early Tuesday.
