Did someone say they wanted more rain? I guess I heard wrong. Well, whether you wanted rain or not - rain is on the way. We have also had to add rain into the forecast for the Thursday night into Friday morning time period (we thought that was possible - and so it goes).
---
One good bit of news - warmer weather will arrive for the weekend! Yes - you heard that right - warmer air for the weekend. :) So - not all is lost. Let's keep hope alive for a least a few spring like days - before summer arrives. Ack - I am rushing the seasons - sorry! :)

The forecast for severe or extreme weather risk for today, tonight, and tomorrow: No severe weather is forecast in our area on Tuesday or Tuesday night. I can't rule out a strong storm - with hail - over portions of northern Arkansas and Tennessee. But, I believe any severe threat will stay south of most of our counties.
---
Here is the official map for Tuesday's severe weather outlook - keep in mind that this map will be updated several times between now and the end of Tuesday - but you get the general idea where severe weather is or is not expected. The yellow area means general thunder is possible (not severe).
The orange area is a slight risk zone that has been outlined.

Let's take a look at our river level here in Paducah. You can see on the above chart that river levels continue to fall. This is forecast to continue for the near term. We are seeing dramatic rises on the rivers up in North and South Dakota over to Minnesota. This is something we will need to watch in the coming weeks.
---
Let's take a look at the drought monitor. We have not looked at this graphic for awhile. You can see that there has been improvement over our area in the drought conditions. However, some of our counties still need more rain and are averaging below normal if you look back at the past six months. This is something we will need to monitor, as well - in the coming months.
Area to our south have not been so fortunate. A significant drought continues over many states.
---
Speaking of precipitation - let's take a look at the 6-10 day precipitation chart. This was updated today. You can see that we should expect a continued period of wet weather over the coming 1-2 weeks. I guess we are used to the rain by now.
Which brings us to our next graphic - below - and that would be the 6-10 day temperature outlook. You can see that we continue our trend with below normal temperatures.
Now, that isn't to say that we won't see some warm days. We will. As a matter of fact - this weekend should bring some 60s and 70s to the region. Good news for those wanting to get the yard mowed or who want to get outside and enjoy the fresh air!
