Stormy Monday, then heat index near 100 midweek

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

There's a marginal risk (level 1 out of 5) that thunderstorms on Monday could reach severe levels, with a high of 87.

Training thunderstorms will be capable of producing torrential downpours with rainfall rates between 1-2 inches per hour.

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.
