Isaias remnants still bringing rain, wind to our region today

SATURDAY MORNING UPDATE
Our region will see some impacts from the remnants of tropical system Isaias today into Sunday morning.

The main concern will be brief heavy rainfall, but with storm totals reduced to between a quarter inch to around an inch. We could also experience wind gusts of 25 to 30 miles per hour, especially this afternoon and evening.

Showers and some thunderstorms will spread north across most of our region today into this evening.

Showers and storms will gradually end from late this evening through Sunday morning.

Sunday will recover to become sunny with a high of 81. Temperatures will be above normal again on Columbus Day and Tuesday with highs near 90. Paducah's historical average high for this week is 74.


FRIDAY MORNING UPDATE:
Saturday's local rainfall amounts are trending a little lower due to an eastward shift of the forecast track of remnants of Isaias.

Most of our area will still see rainfall totals from one quarter inch to around one inch. Some localized higher amounts are still possible.

As the remnants of Isaias move north through Alabama, then east through middle Tennessee and eastern Kentucky over the weekend, 50-100% chances of showers and some thunderstorms can be expected by Saturday afternoon into Saturday night, ending west to east late Saturday night into Sunday morning.

Wind gusts will accompany the rain, coming from the northeast between 20 to 30 miles per hour.

After a cooler than normal Saturday, a warming trend will begin Sunday, with well above normal temperatures in the mid 80s returning Monday through Thursday.
