Beautiful weather the next three days….chance of storms moving in Sat. Night

The warming mid October trend will continue for the remainder of the work week, as High pressure retains its strong grip across the Ohio and Tennessee river valleys. We see lots of sunshine today and tomorrow, as temperatures warm into the middle and upper 70s, even hitting 80 degrees in a few locations. Lows will be moderating through the 40s, back toward the 50s for the weekend start. Normal highs and lows for this time of year are around 70 and in the mid 40s. (NWS Paducah)
