Severe storms, including tornadoes, expected this weekend

Severe storms are expected this weekend, according to the National Weather Service. March has been a busy month for weather, and forecasters anticipate that trend will continue. In the coming days, temperatures in the Tri-State area will rise significantly. On Thursday and Friday, temperatures could be 5 to 15 degrees above normal. This increase in warmth will lead to higher chances of rain. The forecast shows highs of 65 degrees on Thursday and up to 75 degrees on Friday. The main concern for severe weather is set for late Saturday into Sunday. Forecasters in Paducah, Kentucky, state that conditions are aligning for a "potentially impactful severe weather event." This will involve warm air, strong winds, and moisture from the South. Two rounds of thunderstorms are likely. The first will occur Saturday night, followed by a more intense round on Sunday afternoon and evening. Storms may precede a cold front. The National Weather Service warns that "all hazards of severe weather look possible." This includes tornadoes, large hail, and damaging winds. As the situation develops, forecasts may change. Residents should stay updated for the latest information.
