Cold and mostly dry week of weather expected

After the first minor snow event of the season over the weekend, this week is looking to be cold with very little precipitation.

After some light rain comes to an end Tuesday morning, Meteorologist Andy Lesage with the National Weather Service in Paducah says there will be below normal temperatures with highs mostly in the 40’s and dry conditions the rest of the week.

Western Kentucky remains in some type of drought status and there isn’t enough rain in the forecast anytime soon to alleviate any of those concerns.

The long-range forecast shows next week, which includes Thanksgiving, having below average temperatures and near-normal precipitation.
