Flood watch today; 3-4 inches possible in patchy strong storms

Stormy weather today will give way to hot and uncomfortable conditions the rest of the week, according to the National Weather Service office in Paducah.

A flood watch will be in effect from 11am today  through Tuesday morning. Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible. It may result in flooding of rivers, streams, and other low-lying and flood prone areas.

There's a marginal risk (level 1 out of 5) that thunderstorms on Monday could reach severe levels, with a high of 87. Isolated brief tornadoes or locally damaging winds are possible. A widespread weather event is not expected, but patchy areas of storm activity.

Training thunderstorms will be capable of producing locally torrential downpours with rainfall rates between 1-2 inches per hour, and totals of 3 to 4 inches possible during the watch period.

Rain chances linger into Tuesday before trending drier until Thursday night with a 50-70% chance.

The hottest stretch of the season begins on Tuesday with high temperatures around 90 degrees, but increasing humidity will cause daily heat index values to rise to around 100 degrees through Thursday, followed by some relief on Friday.
