Cold Temps and Possibly More Snow in the Forecast Next Week
Just as last weekend's snow has nearly melted away, there's a chance a fresh blanket of the white stuff will fall again a couple of times next week starting as early as Monday night.
According to the National Weather Service in Paducah, after a high in the mid-to-upper 40's during the day along with a chance of rain throughout the day Monday, the temperature will drop sharply into the teens and the rain will change to snow. There's no mention of accumulation at this time as its still a bit too early to tell, however they do say the highest totals should fall in the eastern part of the area.
Another slight chance of snow is possible Wednesday and Thursday, but the bigger concern is bitter cold temperatures with subzero wind chills that could drop to 10-below in some areas.
