Unprecedented heat advisory extended through Sunday

Another day, another extension to our heat advisory. The National Weather Service has extended the now week-long heat advisory through Sunday.

Daily high temperatures in the upper 90s to around 100 are expected. With the humidity, peak heat index values are forecast to range from 103 to 109 Thursday and 100 to 105 Friday through Sunday.

Aside from a remarkable seven days in a row (through Sept. 20), the late season heat advisory continues to smash the previous record of Sept. 5 as the latest date Paducah was issued a heat advisory. That happened in 2012 and 2014.

Saturday's forecast high for Paducah is still at or near 100 degrees. Sunday looks to be 99 and Monday 96 degrees. Finally on Tuesday, the first official day of fall, the forecast high could slip below 90 in some locations, and 87 on Wednesday.

Even at that, next week will still be warmer than normal compared to our historical daily high of 81.
