Quick dip to freezing coming Monday after record warmth

Paducah's high on Christmas Eve reached a record 72 degrees. That eclipsed the mark of 70 set in 2021.

The Christmas Day record is 74, also set in 2021.

Numerous high and warm minimum temperature records will continue to be broken through the weekend. Some locations may hit 70 every day through Sunday, while others reach well into the 60s.

Periods of drizzle or light rain will continue over much of the region on Christmas Day and possibly through Friday in portions of the Evansville Tri State and western Kentucky.

On Sunday night, a strong cold front will bring an abrupt end to the warmth. Rain and a few thunderstorms are likely Sunday, a few of which could be strong.

A brief blast of cold air arrives early next week with highs struggling to reach freezing and lows falling into the upper teens to lower 20s.

A look at the 8-14 day outlook map shows above normal temperatures returning to the lower Ohio Valley for the first week of the new year. Paducah's average high temperature that week is 45 degrees.
