Severe weather possible through Saturday

According to the National Weather Service in Paducah, scattered strong to severe thunderstorms may erupt quickly into the afternoon hours today, generally along and south of a Greenville to Mayfield line. The main concern will be large hail, though damaging wind gusts and an isolated tornado cannot be completely ruled out.

On Friday and Saturday, scattered thunderstorms are forecast over all or part of western Kentucky. A somewhat active weather pattern with a daily chance of thunderstorms will then continue through the middle of next week. While a few severe thunderstorms cannot be ruled out during this period, especially Saturday afternoon, the potential for organized severe weather appears to be low at this time.
