Slight risk for severe weather Thursday

A couple warm days this week will be brought to an end with a cold front packing rain and wind, and now the Storm Prediction Center has again outlined part of Western Kentucky for a slight risk of severe weather Thursday.

Most of Christian, all of Trigg County and areas to the north and west are under a slight risk for severe weather Thursday and Kevin Smith with the National Weather Service in Paducah said during a conference call Monday morning temperatures will be warm today and tomorrow before a cold front brings heavy rain and gusty winds Thursday.

The Pennyrile region of western Kentucky is likely to see an inch to an inch and a half of rain with the storm system.

The long-term outlooks continue to show warmer and wetter than average weather heading into March.
