The National Weather Service at Paducah is predicting rain showers, isolated thunderstorms and winds gusting from 40 to 50 mph today. The weather advisory is in effect until 5 p.m.
These strong winds can be especially dangerous with so many dangling and loosely hanging limbs left by the recent ice storm. Local officials are telling residents to use extreme caution and urging them to avoid being underneath limbs or power lines during today's extreme weather conditions.
