FNUS53 KPAH 240903 FWFPAH Fire Weather Planning Forecast National Weather Service Paducah KY 403 AM CDT Mon Aug 24 2026 .DISCUSSION... The chance for widespread wetting rains will remain insignificant this week with up to 30% chances possible in SEMO and far western KY Wednesday morning as there is the risk of scattered rain chances across the entire region. RH values through Tuesday will fall to around 40-60%. Transport winds will be fairly light, so dispersion looks to be poor to fair.
