What’s now being called the “Quad State Tornado” will go down as the deadliest and longest-tracked twister in the region since the opening of the National Weather Service in Paducah in 1994.
It’s likely to go down as the deadliest tornado in Kentucky history and Mike York with the National Weather Service in Paducah says it touched down in Arkansas and left a path of destruction as it charged into central Kentucky.
York says it will without a doubt be the deadliest tornado in the history of the Paducah office.
Regarding this week’s weather, a light rain event is possible Tuesday night and then up to an inch of rain is possible Thursday through Saturday—though no severe weather is anticipated.
Christmas week looks to be warmer than normal with average precipitation—though details on the Christmas forecast will obviously have to be ironed out closer to time.
