FNUS53 KPAH 191929 FWFPAH Fire Weather Planning Forecast National Weather Service Paducah KY 229 PM CDT Tue May 19 2026 .DISCUSSION... Another round of showers and thunderstorms will move through tonight into Wednesday. After a brief lull Wednesday night into Thursday, additional rain chances return Thursday night and continue through the holiday weekend. Mixing heights will be limited the next several days, struggling to get above 3000 feet. Therefore, dispersion looks to be poor. Transport winds will be out of the north on Wednesday, northeast on Thursday, and then swing back around to southerly for Friday.
