Area downgraded to slight risk for severe weather Monday evening, night

Western Kentucky and northern middle Tennessee have been downgraded from an enhanced to a slight risk for severe weather this evening and tonight.

Severe thunderstorms with damaging winds and isolated tornadoes are still possible between 5 and 11 p.m., but the National Weather Service in Paducah says the threat doesn’t appear as great as it did over the weekend.

If there were to be severe weather, Warning Coordination Meteorologist Rick Shanklin says that certainly wouldn’t be abnormal for the month of November in this region.
