Several items of interest to monitor. A weak system may spread a little light snow into our southern counties on Monday night. More on Tuesday afternoon and evening. A bigger system is possible around Wednesday night into Thursday - that system, though, should miss us to the south and east. Low confidence on the mid-week system.Spot forecast for your location -- Click here - then enter your zip code for the most up to date spot forecast.

HEADLINES: The Paducah, KY NWS radar is back up and working!
Lot of rain fell over our region over the last 2-3 days. Anywhere from 2"-6" was reported across the region. There were some flooding problems and at least one tornado in west Kentucky. You can read more about the tornado on this link - Tornado EF 2 Strikes Western Kentucky
Colder weather has arrived and it may stick around for a few weeks. Not saying it will be cold all of the time. We may see a few shots of warmer air as the boundary between the cold and warm remains near our region.
Monday morning will bring some slick spots on area roadways. Black ice is what we call this. Moisture that is left over from the recent rains or wintry mix can refreeze at night. Early morning commuters should use caution and care.
As far as snow or precipitation goes - we will have a weak system on Monday night that might produce some light snow or snow showers. The area of concern would probably be over Kentucky and Tennessee. Can't rule out light accumulation.
Another system on Tuesday afternoon/night may produce a light mixture of freezing rain, sleet, and snow.
A system is forecast to move into the Mississippi Valley on Wednesday night and Thursday. This one will be tricky to forecast. Appears more to our south and east than our region. I will monitor
I will keep the Facebook page updated. - here http://www.facebook.com/beaudodsonweather
Chance for light snow on Monday night over our southern counties. Chance for a light mixture on Tuesday evening.
A chance for precipitation on Wednesday night and Thursday. Confidence is low on the mid-week system. Stay tuned.

Some black ice is likely on Monday morning. Black ice is simply leftover moisture that has frozen on roadways.
Wild card will be temperatures on Sunday morning and Sunday afternoon. A wintry mix will be possible in our area as temperatures fall.

If you are a weather enthusiast then I recommend listening to WeatherBrains each week! For a more in-depth look at what is happening in meteorology.
Now is a GREAT time
to buy a NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio. Better to have one before
storms strike than to be without one during an event. I recommend the Midland Model 300 NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio - that is what I use here at my house!
